Waynesboro Chase - October 7
WAYNESBORO POLICE DEPARTMENT
MEDIA RELEASE
PURSUIT AND ARREST OF IAN DANIEL KASDAN, OCTOBER 6, 2008
On October 6, 2008, at approximately 8:30 pm, an officer of the Waynesboro Police Department stopped a 1989 Toyota station wagon on a parking lot adjacent to Poplar Avenue and Broad Street. The officer intended to talk to the driver about a defective brake light and the expired license plates on the vehicle. Upon contact with the driver, later identified as Ian Daniel Kasdan, 26 years-of-age, whose address is listed as 126 West Grattan Street, Harrisonburg, Virginia, the officer asked for a driver’s license and registration which Kasdan allegedly did not provide. Instead, Kasdan allegedly identified himself with a false driver’s license number and, when the first number did not check out, allegedly provided a second false driver’s license number. The officer had also noticed that the car was running but had no key in the ignition switch. The officer attempted to take Kasdan into custody but Kasdan allegedly emerged from his car with a tire iron in his hand and threatened to strike the officer. The officer retreated, drew his pistol and called for additional help from nearby officers. A standoff ensued. During the standoff, Kasdan allegedly told the officer he “was not going back to jail”. As the first backup officer arrived on the scene, Kasdan allegedly retreated to his car and, jumping in, put the car in reverse and struck the police car being driven by the officer who made the initial stop. Kasdan allegedly then sped off with other officers in pursuit.
The pursuit wound its way through several neighborhoods, namely, the Tree Streets, Downtown, Port Republic Road, Wayne Hills and New Hope Road before arriving at the Kate Collins Middle School parking lot. Kasdan allegedly drove onto the lot and around the lot with officers in pursuit. At one point, two officers riding in the same car, Paul Johnson and Dominick Zambrotta, attempted to block the path of Kasdan’s car. Kasdan allegedly rammed their police car in the passenger’s front side, disabling the police car. Kasdan momentarily came to a stop. Kasdan allegedly then accelerated backwards and rammed another police car driven by Officer William Russell being positioned behind Kasdan’s car. Kasdan allegedly then attempted to ram a third car at which time the Patrol Shift Commander gave the order to aggressively stop Kasdan.
After being rammed by Kasdan, Officer Paul Johnson had exited his disabled vehicle and was on foot on the parking lot of Kate Collins School. Kasdan drove to within six to ten feet of Officer Johnson who fired two gunshots from his pistol at the left front tire of Kasdan’s vehicle. The gunshots did not stop Kasdan’s vehicle which exited the Kate Collins School parking lot shortly thereafter.
Kasdan allegedly drove west on Ivy Street followed closely by a Waynesboro officer who used his police car to intentionally bump Kasdan’s vehicle and spin it around in the street as Kasdan approached the intersection of Ivy Street and Hopeman Parkway. Other officers from the Waynesboro PD and Augusta County Sheriff’s Office were able to block the path of Kasdan’s car. Before Kasdan could escape again, Officers and Deputies broke the passenger window and used a TASER to subdue Kasdan and take him into custody.
Kasdan is charged with three felonies arising from his alleged assault of Officers Zambrotta, Johnson and Russell. In addition, Kasdan is charged with felony hit and run and felony attempting to elude police. Also served on Kasdan was an arrest warrant arising out of a probation violation from Harrisonburg/Rockingham County. Kasdan appeared in Waynesboro District Court on October 7, 2008 for a bond and advisement hearing. As a result of that hearing, Kasdan is being held without bond at the Middle River Regional Jail. Detective Corporal Kevin Miller has been assigned as the investigating officer for this incident.
Waynesboro Officer Dominick Zambrotta was injured when his police car was allegedly rammed by Kasdan. Zambrotta was treated and released at Augusta Medical Center for injuries to his ribs. Two other officers sustained minor injuries.
Waynesboro Officer Paul Johnson was uninjured when the police car he was riding in with Zambrotta was rammed by Kasdan. Officer Johnson was placed on paid administrative leave, in accordance with Waynesboro PD policy, following the shooting incident. An internal investigation into the shooting is being conducted by Captain J. W. Oliver, head of Waynesboro PD’s Investigations Division.

GOVERNOR KAINE ANNOUNCES NATIONAL AWARDS FOR VIRGINIA ’S PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS IN TRANSPORTATION
~ Virginia Department of Transportation, Secretary of Transportation, and Deputy Secretary honored by ARTBA ~
RICHMOND – Governor Timothy M. Kaine today announced that the American Road and Transportation Builders Association has honored the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), Secretary of Transportation Pierce R. Homer, and Deputy Secretary of Transportation Barbara W. Reese for their outstanding work on Virginia’s nationally recognized public-private partnerships (P3s). The three honorees were recognized Monday at the ARTBA’s 20th Annual Conference on Public-Private Ventures in Transportation.
“ Virginia is recognized by Forbes.com as the best place to do business in the U.S. and as the best managed state in the U.S. by Governing Magazine,” said Governor Kaine. “I think we can now safely add that Virginia has the best P3 program in the U.S. , thanks to leaders like Secretary Homer and Deputy Secretary Reese, and the hard working men and women of VDOT.”
According to the ARTBA, these three were honored “for their outstanding advocacy and leadership in promoting the ‘practice, use and adoption’ of public-private partnerships on transportation improvement projects.” Since 1995, the Commonwealth’s Public-Private Transportation Act has delivered approximately $9 billion in transportation projects.
“ Virginia has consistently led the P3 revolution in the U.S. and these awards from their peers recognize the Virginia leadership role,” said Jim Weinstein, ARTBA Public-Private Ventures Division Chairman. “ARTBA is proud of the past, present and future work of the Commonwealth in the P3 arena.”
Secretary Homer was the 2008 recipient of the ARTBA Public Sector Entrepreneur of the Year award. During his service as Secretary and Deputy Secretary of Transportation, he has been instrumental in the development of Virginia ’s P3 program, working to ensure competition and accountability.
Deputy Secretary Reese was honored as a “Champion” for her “exemplary work in advancing the practice, use and adoption of P3s in transportation in the United States .” The ARTBA says that Reese has “set the standard” for the implementation of P3s, citing projects such as Dulles Rail, the Capital Beltway HOT Lanes, and the Pocahontas Parkway . Reese’s expertise is a valuable asset to senior-level federal officials, and local and state officials seeking to implement their own P3s.
VDOT was also honored as a “Champion” for its 13 years of commitment to P3s, demonstrated by the dedication of resources to major P3 projects including the Capital Beltway and I-95 HOT Lanes, Pocahontas Parkway in Richmond , Route 28 in Northern Virginia, the Coalfields Expressway in Southwest Virginia , and Route 460 and Midtown Tunnel projects in Hampton Roads. Thomas W. Pelnik III, VDOT director of innovative project delivery, and Deborah Brown, VDOT director of innovative finance were specifically recognized for their work.

Missing Juvenile - October 7
On 09/03/08 the Waynesboro Police Department was contacted by the Department of Social Services to assist with locating a 16 year old missing juvenile who had been placed in their custody. Department of Social Service workers were conducting a routine check on the juvenile who was allowed to stay with his biological sister, 23 year old Melissa Kaye King at a residence in the city of Waynesboro. DSS workers and Waynesboro Police Officers quickly discovered that the 16 year old juvenile, Melissa Kaye King and her 24 year old boyfriend, Samuel Pershing McCauley III, had absconded from the residence and were possibly heading to Florida.
On 09/04/08 warrants were obtained on Melissa King and Samuel McCauley III for abduction under VA Code section 18.2-47. The crime of abduction is a class 5 felony punishable by 1-10 years in prison and a $2500 fine. Melissa King and Samuel McCauley III were entered into the NCIC system as wanted persons. The 16 year old male juvenile was also entered into the NCIC system as a missing juvenile.
During the course of the investigation it was discovered that Melissa King had family in Bay County Florida. Investigators from the Waynesboro Police Department contacted investigators from the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, the Panama City Police Department and the Lynn Haven Police Department and asked for assistance with the investigation. As a result of the entry into the NCIC system, the Waynesboro Police Department was contacted by the U.S. Marshals service. The U.S. Marshals service also offered to assist with the investigation. During the next couple of weeks several leads were investigated by all agencies involved in the search. King and McCauley quickly learned that they were being sought by the Police and subsequently fled the state of Florida.
On 09/26/08 it was discovered that Melissa King, Samuel McCauley III, and the 16 year old juvenile were back in Virginia and they were currently staying at a residence in the 2200 block of Jefferson Highway in Fishersville. Surveillance was subsequently set up on the residence. At approximately 5:30 pm the juvenile was observed walking away from the residence by the surveillance team. Once the juvenile was clear from the residence, the surveillance team took him into custody for being a missing juvenile.
As Deputies from the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office, Officers from the Waynesboro Police Department, and Deputies with the U.S. Marshal’s Service were preparing to execute a search warrant at the residence in Fishersville, the surveillance team observed King and McCauley leaving the residence in a maroon Dodge Durango. The surveillance team followed the suspects until Deputies and Officers were in place to safely take the suspects into custody.
At approximately 6:41pm; all teams were in position and a traffic stop was initiated on Eastbound interstate 64 just outside the city limits of Waynesboro. Both suspects were taken into custody without further incident.
The 16 year old juvenile who was the subject of this investigation was turned over to the Department of Social Services.
The investigation into this matter is ongoing and additional charges may be pending.
Any further questions should be directed to Sgt. Kelly Walker at 540-942-6537.

“Connecting to Ensure Success” - September 1
“Connecting to Ensure Success” is the theme for the third annual
legislative function open free to the public, Holiday Inn Golf and
Conference Center, Staunton, 5:30-7:30 pm, Tuesday, September 30.
Light refreshments will be available. ARC of Augusta, Augusta
Medical Center, Mental Health Association of Augusta, and Valley
Community Services Board sponsor the event.
Sponsoring representatives state that the purpose of the forum is to
discuss the necessary community partnership for effective response to
community needs. James Mahoney, Valley Community Services Board
Chair, will be the moderator for the evening. Representatives from
Augusta Medical Center, ARC, Mental Health Association of Augusta,
and Valley Community Services Board will make presentations. The
local Virginia General Assembly members will address the current
state of mental health, mental retardation, and substance abuse
issues during the forum. The public may also ask them questions
regarding these issues.
“The MHA-A strives to collaborate with legislators and other mental
health advocacy groups to eliminate disparities in mental health
services and to promote access to care, stated Ms. Jane Desper, MHA-A
Board Member and Public Policy Chair. This legislative forum
involving General Assembly, advocates, consumers, caregivers,
interested citizens and service providers brings all of these groups
together to learn about the mental health partnership needs in
Staunton, Waynesboro, and Augusta County.”
Augusta Medical Center is pleased to be a sponsor for the legislative
forum to discuss the mental health successes and needs of our
community. As part of a network of providers caring for those in
need of mental health treatment AMC sees a responsibility to educate
the legislators to the needs of our community. Because a large part
of mental health care relies on legislative oversight and funding, it
is important to provide opportunities for dialogue and education
between providers of care and those in positions to influence the
future and better meet the needs in a way that results in favorable
outcomes for individuals in our community.
The Arc of Augusta greatly appreciates the strong support and
commitment shown by the Governor and the General Assembly last year.
Many individuals with mental retardation and other developmental
disabilities and their families received supports and services
through their efforts. Virginia should continue to look to the
future and develop a multi-year plan to ensure that the needs of ALL
individuals with disabilities continue to be met at an adequate level.
Partnership connections are critical to the success of community
treatment. The connections between the consumer, their family,
private hospitals, the advocacy groups and the community services
board result in effective treatment and success. Valley Community
Services Board is proud to be a co-sponsor of this event. Leadership
by our state government is critical to the welfare and safety of all
individuals with disabilities.

Many individuals with mental retardation and other developmental
disabilities and their families received supports and services
through their efforts. Virginia should continue to look to the
future and develop a multi-year plan to ensure that the needs of ALL
individuals with disabilities continue to be met at an adequate level.
Partnership connections are critical to the success of community
treatment. The connections between the consumer, their family,
private hospitals, the advocacy groups and the community services
board result in effective treatment and success. Valley Community
Services Board is proud to be a co-sponsor of this event. Leadership
by our state government is critical to the welfare and safety of all
individuals with disabilities.

Virginia’s New State Map is Available
Map encourages travelers to “get away” to Virginia for vacations
RICHMOND – The Commonwealth of Virginia ’s new official state transportation map is being released just in time to assist motorists with their Labor Day travel plans.
The new map, which is free of charge, is available online and can be ordered on the Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT’s) Web site at http://www.virginiadot.org/travel/maps-default.asp. Maps are available at state Welcome Centers and local and regional visitor centers. The new maps will also be available at VDOT offices this fall. To find a local VDOT office, visit http://www.virginiadot.org/about/districts.asp.
“ Virginia ’s new state transportation map is another way that VDOT is giving motorists the information they need to make educated travel decisions,” said VDOT Commissioner David S. Ekern. “With tools like our recently improved 511 service and this new map, VDOT is working to make it easier than ever for motorists to save time, gas and stress while traveling around Virginia.”
The map celebrates a variety of activities that can be enjoyed while vacationing in the Old Dominion. VDOT collaborated with the Virginia Tourism Corporation to develop the “Get Away” theme represented through the map’s images and text.
Notable additions to the 2008-2010 map include National Bike Routes 1 and 76, the Deltaville Maritime Museum and Holly Point Nature Park in Middlesex County , the Great Meadow equestrian event site in Fauquier County and Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Henrico County . More than 140 cartographic changes were made, including the depiction of completed or widened highways.
In addition to the new state map, travelers can also use VDOT’s free, improved 511 system to access continuously updated traffic and travel information any time, any place. Motorists can access 511 by going online to www.511virginia.org; receiving personalized traffic information via e-mail, text pager, BlackBerry, PDA, or other mobile device, or by calling 511 from a cell phone or land line.
A map showing the state’s highway system is required by Virginia law – (http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+33.1-36).
A map of the state's road network has been published since 1922, before some roads were even assigned a number. It wasn’t until 1928 that a more detailed map was produced. The map was extremely popular, and within just a few months the first 50,000 copies were gone. By 1929, the demand jumped to 150,000. This year, 2.5 million maps were printed.

§ Beverley Street and Market Street;
§ Frederick Street and Market Street;
§ Frederick Street and New Street; and
§ Frederick Street and Central Avenue.
Lights at four other intersections will flash from 12 a.m. until 4 a.m.:
§ Richmond Road and Powell Street;
§ Richmond Road and Community Way;
§ Richmond Road and Walmart; and
§ Richmond Road and Frontier Drive.
Setting traffic lights to flash reduces the amount of electricity the lights use, and also reduces the need for some motorists to stop and wait for a light to change – thus saving gas. The city government has also reduced lighting in public buildings and is studying additional steps to reduce the impact of higher fuel and electricity expenses on this year's city budget.
Drivers on the major street in each intersection will see a flashing yellow light to alert them to the intersection and to possible entering traffic. Drivers on the other, less-traveled street will see a flashing red light and will have to come to a full stop, then proceed when any traffic clears.
The lights in eight intersections will flash from 10 p.m. until 4 a.m. Those intersections are:
§ Churchville Avenue and Lewis Street;
§ Churchville Avenue and Donaghe Street;
§ Beverley Street and Central Avenue;
§ Beverley Street and New Street;
§ Beverley Street and Market Street;
§ Frederick Street and Market Street;
§ Frederick Street and New Street; and
§ Frederick Street and Central Avenue.
Lights at four other intersections will flash from 12 a.m. until 4 a.m.:
