FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. — A Fairfax County Police officer was arrested Saturday on DUI charges after a crash injured seven people, the Fairfax County Police Department said.

The police department said that Faison was off-duty and was driving his personal vehicle at the time of his arrest.
Faison, who has been a sworn officer with the department since 2022, was placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an Internal Affairs Bureau investigation.
No other details on the crash have been released.
Finding a Culpeper County official to publicly discuss the allegations against Sheriff Scott Jenkins may be difficult, but a Virginia senator is sharing his thoughts.
Sen. Bryce Reeves, (R) District 17, said while he only learned of the federal indictment recently, he expects Jenkins to be deemed innocent until proven guilty.
