The city of Charlottesville likely will be ordered to pay $7,600 to an activist-attorney following a failed effort to remove Councilor Wes Bellamy from office earlier this year. Pam Starsia, a former Showing Up for Racial Justice Charlottesville organizer and attorney, represented Bellamy in the short-lived court case. She moved with her family to Texas after her husband was accepted into a law school program there. According to a letter from Charlottesville Circuit Judge Richard Moore, the city must bear Bellamy’s attorney fees “under the circumstances of the case.” Starsia said she spent about 30 hours working on the case and submitted a schedule of fees incurred through the course of the case.

Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office detectives on Wednesday charged a deputy after the FBI informed the detectives about the deputy’s possible unlawful access to sensitive law enforcement information. A subsequent investigation by LCSO detectives found that between May 2014 to November 2016 the deputy used his official position to obtain information for the sale and resale of used vehicles. Further, the deputy used his access to the Virginia Criminal Information Network (VCIN) to assist with the transactions, LCSO officials said. Deputy First Class Usman E. Rafi, 37, was charged with two felony counts of using a computer to gather identifying information (VCIN violation), 30 misdemeanor counts of dealer violations and 30 misdemeanor counts of open title violations.
