Police blotter: Man arrested after hours-long standoff
A standoff in the usually quiet Stoneybrooke neighborhood ended peacefully Tuesday after a man surrendered to officers.
Mohamed Roble, 25, was taken into custody a little after noon, ending a situation that the police described as a “warrant service” for outstanding charges against Roble for burglary, larceny, assault and destruction of property.
Officers came to a house in the 6800 block of Lamp Post Lane (see map) sometime before 8 a.m. after a reported domestic assault. Some sort of standoff ensued, with officers from the FCPD’s Special Operations Division called in. Nearby residents were ordered by police not to leave their houses. Groveton Elementary School, which borders the house where the standoff occurred, was put in secure-the-building status, which means nobody is allowed to enter or leave.
Roble is currently being held without bond at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center.
This is not Roble’s first brush with the law. He has an extensive arrest record in Fairfax County, according to general court records. In 2017 he was charged with felony assault and robbery for an incident in Hybla Valley, but records indicate those charges were dropped. Roble has also been arrested for drunk in public more than 20 times, according to general district court records.

It’s funny that the “burglary charge “ is at in his OWN house.. Fairfax police is making it seem like he did something really wrong to the extreme.. he showed up home drunk I and gets punched by his own brother.. he left his house instead of putting up with them he shows up morning time sober and they grab him and gave him those BULLSHIT charges.. and as for the larceny charge his own brother gave him those shoes he told the cop he had stole them when really his own brother gave it to him.. I guess it goes to show that your own family and siblings will do this to you
they were serving a warrant for the burglary….and were called to his house for a domestic assault read the article before you post…
