Man convicted in armed carjacking insists he only borrowed vehicle

Oxon Hill resident faces 30 years in jail for Suitland theft by Andrea Noble | Staff Writer Gazette.Net An Oxon Hill man convicted last week of armed carjacking insisted to the jury in his trial that he didn't steal the victim's car — he was borrowing it to buy marijuana. After less than an hour of deliberation Feb. 16, the Prince George's County jury found Lowell Braswell, 46, guilty of nine counts including armed carjacking, robbery with a deadly weapon, first- and second-degree assault and auto theft, county prosecutors announced Feb. 18. He faces up to 30 years in prison. According to prosecutors, on Oct. 23, 2008, Braswell approached Oakley Hopkins, 66, while Hopkins was unloading his car at the Parklane Bowling Alley in Suitland.

By Gene Fynes | February 24, 2010; 5:53 PM ET, Washington Post A Fairfax County Circuit Court clerk was arrested Wednesday for allegedly stealing money from the clerk’s office, Fairfax police said. Deborah Sterling, 58, of Clifton had worked as a cashier in the civil intake division, police said, where lawsuits and motions are filed, often with accompanying fees. She worked in the clerk’s office for nine years. Last week, Fairfax Circuit Clerk John Frey contacted police to say his staff had detected irregularities in the office’s fee tracking system, Frey said Wednesday. He said he did not know how long the alleged thefts had been occurring or how much money might have been taken. “At this point it doesn’t appear it’s a huge amount of money,” Frey said. He added that he had fired Sterling. The Fairfax clerk’s office handled about $200 million in revenue and trust funds last year, the police said, and is the largest clerk’s office in Virginia. Sterling was charged with f...
