Brickbat: Don't Come Around Here No More

Godson Vondee, a police officer in Prince William County, Virginia, has been charged with stalking and five counts of using a computer to obtain identifying information. He is accused of using the department's criminal database to access personal information about a woman he later stalked. Officials say the investigation, launched in June, revealed Vondee accessed the database once in 2023 and four times in 2024—each time while on duty and without a criminal justice reason—and visited the victim's residence multiple times over 15 months. Vondee, a six-year veteran of the department, was placed on administrative leave and is being held without bond, with a court date set for August 19.
