A wanted Stafford man only delayed his journey to the Rappahannock Regional Jail after initially refusing to exit his home last night.

On July 29th at 9:41 p.m. deputies responded to a home on US Ford Lane in an attempt to locate Hans Zerbe, 57. Fredericksburg Police had active warrants on file for aggravated assault and disorderly conduct. Zerbe refused to exit the home, but deputes were not about to give up.

Deputies continued to communicate with Zerbe for approximately an hour and a half. Zerbe finally realized the deputies were not going away and peacefully surrendered. The warrants were served and Zerbe was held at the jail on a $1,000 bond.
