A progressive prosecutor in one of Virginia’s largest counties says her office will no longer prosecute a number of misdemeanors, including reckless driving, petty theft, and hit-and-runs.
Loudoun County commonwealth’s attorney Buta Biberaj (D.) announced on Thursday that starting next week, her office won’t prosecute many low-level offenders, according to a memo obtained by Fox 5.
Biberaj says her office is “inundated” with cases and claims the change will allow her team to focus on more serious crimes. Local leaders aren’t buying it.
“I don’t believe the issue is anything else but her ability to manage her office,” Loudoun County Board of Supervisors chairwoman Phyllis Randall, a Democrat, told Fox 5, adding that she “absolutely will not” support Biberaj’s reelection bid this year. “If she was running unopposed, I wouldn’t support her.”
