LEESBURG
Sexual Assault Suspect Sought
Leesburg police are searching for a 21-year-old man charged with sexually assaulting a 5-year-old girl last year.
Carlos Felipe Centeno, 21, was discovered with a partially clothed girl Aug. 5 in a residence in the Potomac Crossing subdivision in Leesburg and then fled the scene, police said yesterday. Centeno was in the country illegally, and police said he may be trying to return to El Salvador.
He has been charged in a warrant with forcible sodomy. Police ask anyone with information to call 703-443-TIPS.

LOUDOUN COUNTY
Supervisor Seeks House Seat
Loudoun County Supervisor Stevens Miller (D-Dulles) has announced he will run for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates.
The first-term supervisor will try to unseat Del. Thomas Davis Rust (R-Fairfax) in the fall election. Miller moved in February to Sterling in the 86th District, which includes parts of eastern Loudoun and western Fairfax County.
Miller, 50, a lawyer who runs a consulting firm specializing in handling data for trial lawyers, said the district is "trending away from its once-reliable conservative right toward a more moderate center."
He said last year's election results played a significant role in his decision. Barack Obama carried 63 percent of the vote in the district on his way to carrying the state and winning the presidency, while Mark R. Warner garnered 70 percent in the district as he captured a U.S. Senate seat.
Rust, 67, served 19 years as mayor of Herndon and was first elected to the House in 2001.
