<sh>Fawley Trial Pushed Back
<bt>At an April 5 hearing, the trial of Ben Fawley, who faces a first degree murder charge in the death of 17-year-old Vienna resident Taylor Behl, was pushed back from May 30 to Aug. 17. Judge William H. Shaw III granted a motion of continuance filed by the defense because of the volume of evidence involved in the case. Shaw also ruled that letters written from jail by Fawley to a female friend must be turned over as evidence in the trial, and he granted a defense motion that Fawley be transferred from Richmond City Jail, where he has been held since September, to Middle Peninsula Regional Jail in Saluda, closer to the Mathews County courthouse where proceedings are being held. Behl's body was found in Mathew's County.
<sh>Toll Administration Facility Robbed
<bt>On Thursday, March 30 around 7:50 p.m., a 55-year-old McLean-area man was in the VDOT trailer in the 8600 block of Leesburg Pike in the Tysons Corner area. He was preparing money for deposit when two men brandishing guns entered the trailer and demanded money. After grabbing an undisclosed amount of currency and coins, the robbers fled the area in a dark-colored sports car that may have been a Camaro or Mustang. The victim was not injured.
