FAUQUIER COUNTY, Va. (DC News Now) — Detectives arrested a Fauquier County high school teacher and football coach on Monday after receiving reports of inappropriate relations with students. The Fauquier County Sheriff's Office (FCSO) said that the arrest of Gary Robert 'Bobby' Hix, 28, followed an investigation that included interviews and a review of electronic devices and social media. FCSO said that detectives determined that Hix was using the app Snapchat to contact students or football players under his supervision. He would ask for nude images from these individuals, who were both minors and adults. 2 teens charged in Southwest DC shoe robbery FCSO said that Hix also groomed minors, gaining a child's trust by isolating them or giving them gifts and telling them secrets to make them feel special. FCSO said that this makes a situation where 'abuse seems normal or acceptable.' 'The trust families place in us to protect and care for their children is sacred, and any violation of that trust is intolerable. We are cooperating fully with the Sheriff's Office and taking all appropriate personnel actions to address this matter and ensure the continued safety of our students,' Major Warner, Superintendent of Fauquier County Public Schools, said in a statement. The Sheriff's Office said that the investigation into this case was still ongoing. Detectives believe that there may be other victims as well.

Police release bodycam video of suspect shooting Mifflin Township police officers
Mifflin Township police released body camera footage of two officers shot by a man who ran from them during a May 28 traffic stop on Columbus' Northeast Side. Daveonte Dixon, 21, has been charged with attempted murder and two counts of felony assault for shooting the two Mifflin Township officers during a traffic stop at Perdue Avenue and Mecca Road. Dixon remains at large and is considered armed and dangerous, according to the sheriff's office. A $10,000 reward is being offered to anyone who provides information leading to his arrest, and the Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge #9 is also offering an undisclosed sum of cash. Body camera footage, shown to media during a May 29 press conference at the Franklin County Sheriff's Office headquarters, shows the first Mifflin Township officer approach a black sedan that pulled over at around 6:40 p.m. The officer walks up to the driver's side of the car and speaks with the driver when Dixon, who is the passenger, begins getting out of the vehicle. At the same time, the second officer approaches as Dixon runs away. A brief foot chase ensues, and Dixon trips, pulls out a handgun and begins firing at the officers. One of the officers tries to use his Taser device just as Dixon begins firing. The struck officer drops to the ground, and several rounds of gunfire from Dixon are heard as he fires at the other officer. The second officer, who by now has also been struck, takes cover near a house on that same street, and blood is briefly seen on his arm as he declares over his radio that shots were fired and that he was struck. Dixon leaves, and doorbell camera footage from houses on that street shows him running past the houses. Both of the officers were transported to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center. One was transported to the hospital in critical condition but has since been upgraded to stable, and one was in stable condition. The officer, who was initially in critical condition, will undergo surgery on May 29, according to the FCSO. Two Columbus police officers were also hurt responding to the incident when their cruiser was involved in a crash. Both officers have been treated and released, and the occupants in the other vehicle were treated at the scene, Columbus police said. At a May 29 press conference, FCSO deputy Rick Minerd urged Dixon to turn himself in and warned him that he would eventually be brought to justice. "There's no rock that you're going to hide under, Mr. Dixon," Minerd said. "We're going to bring him to justice. (We're) encouraging people to call in, help us get this bum off the streets."
