Heroin Overdose Leads To Multiple Arrests In Stafford: Police

STAFFORD, VA—A heroin overdose late last month at a townhouse in Thomas Jefferson Place in the southern part of the county wound up leading to the arrest of several people on drug and other charges, according to the Stafford County Sheriff's Office. One man was found hiding in an attic.

On April 28, police went to the townhouse for a reported overdose. The victim was treated and later admitted to using heroin. Police found that he and another person had gone to the residence to use heroin, along with a juvenile known as "Fat Boy," who also had been using heroin but cleaned up the evidence and fled after the overdose.

Police went to the juvenile's residence, and the owner gave them permission to search the house. That's when they found Kyle William Dickinson, 23, hiding in the attic. Drugs were found in his room.

His girlfriend, Megan Renee Jenkins, 20, of Stafford was in the living room and was found with drugs. Paraphernalia was found in another bedroom belonging to John Andrew Amos, 31.

Police then searched a shed in back of the property and found Stephanie Lynn Hall, 40, of Stafford, and Dylan Scott Dickinson, 25, of Stafford, both of whom had drugs.
