CAMPBELL Co., Va. â A high-speed chase through three Southside counties yesterday afternoon ended in an arrest. The Pittsylvania County Sheriff s Office was called in as an assistance because [the pursuit] started in Henry County, came into Pittsylvania and ended in Campbell, Pittsylvania Sheriff s Cpt. Corey Webb said. When the chase ended, the vehicle was actually going too fast and his vehicle spun out before any contact was made, he continued. No officer hit him and made him spin out, he tried to go too fast around a corner and spun out on his own.
The suspect, Shane Wilson of Evington, had a warrant outstanding for a parole violation.
The Pittsylvania County Sheriff s Office yesterday responded to a scene in the Mt. Hermon area where a county man had accidentally shot himself in the lower leg. A young man was there, getting ready to go into an interview, Pittsylvania County Sheriff s Department Cpt. Gerald Ford told theÂ
Star-Tribune Thursday. He got out of his vehicle, the gun hit the ground, went off and got him in the ankle.

DANVILLE, Va. The long lasting reality TV show “Survivor” has had many memorable characters compete over the decades. One noteworthy competitor was Jonny Fairplay who famously concocted the lie that his grandmother had died in order to help his standing in the game. It was a move that has been remembered in the annals of “Survivor” history.
Now, he’s accused of stealing from his grandmother. The Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Office issued two criminal complaints against Fairplay and his mother Patsy Hall, WSET reported.
According to authorities, Fairplay has been charged with grand larceny after some personal effects were taken from a residence in Virginia. Ironically, the man now charged with a felony was viewed as a villain during his appearance during season seven of “Survivor” in 2003.
