On June 5, 2025, Deputy Dotts was patrolling Seminole Trail when he noticed a vehicle that had pulled over to the side of the road near Deer Lake Estates. Upon approaching the driver, it became clear that the vehicle had run out of gas. Furthermore, a background check revealed that the driver, Arnold Wade Butler Jr. of Bremo Bluff, had an active warrant for his arrest for shoplifting in a neighboring county. He was taken into custody without incident.
This incident serves as a crucial reminder: before you get behind the wheel, take a moment to conduct a thorough inspection of your vehicle, especially the fuel level to ensure a safe journey.
*All individuals arrested are presumed innocent until proven guilty.*
We want to acknowledge the concerns expressed by community members, specifically on social media, regarding a man who may have suspiciously entered and exited a home in Stanardsville. This incident has been a top priority for our agency since we received the initial report on June 2, 2025. We understand the importance of safety to everyone, and we have been actively following up on related calls to ensure the well-being of our community.
Recently, we encountered a man walking along Dyke Road with a backpack and a sign that read, "Pilot needs a ride." This individual was a hang glider who had missed his landing outside the county and was trying to hitchhike back to Dyke, where he had parked his van. We were able to confirm this information when a deputy assisted him in returning to his launch site.
Additionally, our deputies followed up on another report last night about a man walking with a backpack in Stanardsville around 9:30 PM. We discovered that this resident does not drive and typically walks to the store in the area.
Please know that we are dedicated to thoroughly investigating this “suspicious” incident and keeping our community informed. After reviewing all the information from the original incident, our follow-ups, and the broader context, we believe there is currently no danger to the public, particularly in the Stanardsville and Dyke areas. Nevertheless, your vigilance is incredibly important—if you notice anything unusual, please don’t hesitate to speak up. Your safety and peace of mind are our highest priorities, and we truly appreciate your support in keeping our community safe.

It's official: Matthew Mill Road has become a speedster's haven, prompting us to dispatch one of our deputies for speed enforcement. We're merely three hours into this operation and 21 tickets have already been handed out. Word on the street suggests that Rt 29 and Rt 33 are being given a wide berth due to our heightened visibility. Every day, we'll be dropping by another secondary road, so here's the deal: ease off the gas pedal and obey the speed limit - or bid farewell to your greenbacks in Greene.
