Virginia State Police, VSP, Used by permission of VSP

Clarke County is pushing back against Verizon’s plan to discontinue traditional copper-based landline phone service in the region. Verizon

has notified federal regulators that the service could be discontinued on or after October 23, subject to FCC approval. County officials say some

Clarke residents still rely on landlines because cellular or fiber service is unavailable at their homes. Clarke County says it is asking the FCC to

keep the copper lines operating until a viable alternative is available to every household.

A chase through Winchester ends with an arrest of repeat offender

Frederick County Sheriff Lenny Millholland confirmed by text the following incident.

On September 4 at approximately 10:25 a.m. a Frederick County Sheriff’s deputy stopped a vehicle in the 300 block of Fort Collier Road.

The initial stop was due to the vehicle not yielding and almost hitting oncoming traffic.

During the traffic stop the driver identified as Joshua Allen Lineburg could not provide a license or registration and gave several false names and dates of birth.

The deputy asked Lineburg to exit the vehicle and that is when he fled the scene.

Law enforcement chased Lineburg through several streets including Woodstock Lane, Senseny Road, Berryville Pike, and finally to a location where he crashed.

That crash was into trees near children on Morlyn Drive.

Lineburg was taken into custody without further incident after a deputy performed a pit maneuver on his vehicle.

A search of the vehicle revealed an unknown liquid, multiple scales, baggies, spoons along with additional paraphernalia.

Some of the items were field tested and found to be positive for meth and cocaine.

The 46-year-old Lineburg currently faces felony charges along with misdemeanor counts of false identification, obstruction, driving without a license, and reckless driving.

Further investigation revealed that Lineburg has prior convictions of assault and battery, forgery, larceny, and narcotics possession.
