Man Seeking Handouts Arrested in Fairfax: Police

FAIRFAX, VA — Back and forth in the road he ran, holding a sign asking for money.

No law against that, right?

Wrong, according to Fairfax Police.

That's what Kambiz Bahamin, 33, of no fixed address, discovered early Monday night at the intersection of Main Street and Pickett Road.

Shortly before 5 p.m., an officer observed him receiving money from an occupant of a vehicle stopped at the traffic signal.

And that's a no-no. Bahamin was arrested and charged with soliciting contributions in the roadway and released on a summons.

In this case, Fairfax law — mirroring state regulations — is clear.
