Bad Day Gets Worse For Robbery Victims in Nokesville: Police

NOKESVILLE, VA — For two men at a home in the 12900 block of Free Street, a bad morning got a lot worse Wednesday, according to Prince William County Police.

The pair contacted police and said four gun-wielding masked men broke into the residence, woke them up, beat one victim, detained the other, and then stole an undisclosed amount of money and a video game console.

That was the beginning of their bad morning. Here's where it got worse:

While police were investigating the scene, they found narcotics, which warranted a more extensive search that turned up marijuana, marijuana wax, a handgun and equipment consistent consistent with drug production and distribution.

Thus did the victims become the arrested.

Nathan Elmore Thomas, 22 (above), of the aforementioned address and the one who was assaulted, was charged with manufacturing a schedule I/II and possession of a schedule I/II.

Richard Lee German Jr., 23, of the 6400 block of Igo Road in King George, was charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

Police unsuccessfully searched for the other suspects with a K9 unit, and they're believed to have fled in a vehicle.

The incident, police say, doesn't appear to be random.
