PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY
Man Charged With Taking Dog
A Manassas man has been charged with robbery after stealing a 15-year-old boy's dog as the boy was walking it Saturday night, Prince William County police said yesterday.
Derek B. Wanzer, 20, approached the teenager about 10:49 p.m. in the 7500 block of Willoughby Lane in Manassas and demanded that he hand over everything in his pockets. When the boy said he did not have anything, Wanzer took his dog and ran, police said. After a search by police, Wanzer was arrested and the dog, a dachshund, was found and returned, authorities said.

COLLEGE NEWSPAPERS
State to Appeal Ruling on Ads
Virginia officials are appealing a federal ruling that overturned the state's decades-old ban on alcohol-related advertising in college newspapers.
Attorney General Robert F. McDonnell (R) filed a notice of appeal in response to U.S. Magistrate Judge M. Hannah Lauck's ruling.
The Cavalier Daily at the University of Virginia and the Collegiate Times at Virginia Tech sued the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
The newspapers contended that that the ban violated their right to free speech and hampered their ability to make money.
The state's Alcoholic Beverage Control Board adopted the ban to curb underage drinking, but Lauck ruled in March that there was no evidence that the measure did that.
