Leesburg, Virginia, police have cleared an initial suspect of charges in a series of reckless driving incidents in Northern Virginia on Saturday afternoon, according to a news release from the department Monday.
Pablo Enrique Orellana-Flores, 34, a resident of Northern Virginia, was arrested by the Fredericksburg Police Department on Sunday, but after further investigation, he is no longer a suspect.
