Alsobrooks, State’s Attorney for Prince George's County announced the results of a very busy start to the year: five murder convictions in five weeks.  “While we want to prevent murders by any means possible, my Assistant State’s Attorneys will prove that once we catch them, prosecute them and sentence them, we will take the killers off the streets and return peace of mind to our residents,” said Alsobrooks.

Redskins Haynesworth Charged With Assault

RESTON, Va. (WUSA) -- Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth is accused of punching a man in the face in what appears to be a case of road rage.

Fairfax County police spokeswoman Shelley Broderick says Haynesworth is accused of simple assault in a Wednesday morning incident.

A 38-year-old man driving a Honda Civic on the Fairfax County Parkway noticed a pickup truck reportedly tailgating him and made a "non verbal hand gesture" to the driver.  He says the man in the truck later followed him to a traffic light, approached his car, punched him in the nose, and then took off.

Broderick says police have been in touch with Haynesworth's attorney and that arrangements have been made for him to meet with officers and appear in Fairfax County General District Court next week because he is currently out of town.
