CORRECTIONS

· Because of a typographical error, a March 6 article on sex trafficking misstated the age of a person Jaron R. Brice was accused of drawing into prostitution. Brice was acquitted of federal charges that he coerced a 19-year-old woman, not a 9-year-old.

· A March 6 Metro in Brief item about a fatal car accident near Middleburg the previous day misstated the age of the driver who was killed. Richard T. Fatkin was 18, not 19.

· A March 5 article about problems with MetroAccess service did not make it clear that Scott McDaniel, a MetroAccess rider, is an employee of Service Sources Inc., which operates the Woodmont Center in Arlington County. The article also misstated the nature of his disabilities. McDaniel is legally blind, and although he has other disabilities, he and his parents say he is not mentally disabled.

· A March 5 Metro article and previous articles about a teenager fatally shot outside a pancake house incorrectly reported that Alexandria's chief prosecutor will decide whether Officer Carl Stowe followed Police Department policy when he fired at the Jeep in which Aaron Brown died. That determination will be made by the Police Department. The prosecutor will determine whether the actions of any involved party, including Stowe, constitute a crime under Virginia law.

· A Richmond Notebook column in the March 4 Metro section incorrectly said that Alexandria officials had requested legislation to raise public defenders' salaries. The bill was requested by the Arlington County public defender's office.

· A Feb. 27 article about donations to charities helping victims of the Gulf Coast hurricanes misstated the amount of money the United Methodist Committee on Relief has available for long-term charity work in that region. It has dispensed $14.1 million and has $55.5 million remaining. Also, the value of its contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency was misstated. The value is $66 million, not $60 million.
