On August 25, 2016 at approximately 4:10pm Stafford County Deputies responded to a call of a disturbance in progress at LUX Cars Auto Outlet on Perchwood Lane. Upon arrival deputies witnessed two males standing outside the business. These males had been previously told to leave the premises after an altercation with employees inside. The customers had grown upset when advised by dealership employees that the recently purchased vehicle would not be repaired as the vehicle was sold “as is.” According to witnesses, the discussion between the customers and employees escalated into a heated argument. During the disagreement one of the customers, later identified as Gregory Raynard Slade, Jr., pushed an employee of the business and threated to damage vehicles and burn the business down.

The deputies on scene interviewed the witnesses and asked each party to provide a written statement of what was observed. After conducting the interviews and reviewing the facts as presented, Sgt. D.R. Colona charged Mr. Slade with Threats to Bomb or Damage and Assault and Battery. Slade, age 18, from Baltimore Maryland, was taken to the Rappahannock Regional Jail and incarcerated with no bond.
