Deputy Hit By Car, Larceny Suspects Arrested At Sterling Target

STERLING, VA — A deputy was hit by a car, and three teens suspected by authorities of larceny were arrested at a Target in Sterling on Saturday, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.

Target employees called authorities at approximately 6 p.m. when two suspects in other area larcenies entered the Target at Dulles 28 Centre on Columbia Place, and deputies found the teens at the store, according to police.

Authorities arrested one in the store, but the other ran out the door to a car with another suspect. As the driver attempted to get away, he hit a deputy with the front passenger-side corner of the car. Both of the remaining suspects were later arrested without incident, according to authorities.

The deputy was taken to a hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries.

Ahmed Sawadogo, 19, and Naby Doukoure, 18, are charged with felony robbery in Fairfax County. In Loudoun County, Sawadogo is charged with obstruction of justice, and Doukoure is charged with false identification to law enforcement. The driver, a 16-year-old boy who was not identified by authorities, was issued two juvenile petitions for assault on law enforcement and felony hit and run.

All three suspects came from New York, and the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office is working with law enforcement agencies in Maryland and Virginia regarding similar thefts in the area.
