Fairfax Police Successfully Resolve 34-Hour Highway Barricade.

Fairfax County police officers waited for more than 34 hours for a 29-year-old woman, who was armed with a handgun, to come out of her Jeep SUV on the side of Richmond Highway. Brittany A. Copelin was charged with two counts of abduction by force, two counts of felony firearm use and felony firearm possession in Fairfax, and two counts of kidnapping, home invasion, first-degree assault, third-degree burglary, false imprisonment, and other misdemeanor charges in Laurel, Md. Copelin placed the gun to her head several times throughout the incident, and negotiators communicated with her through a loudspeaker, over the phone, and by yelling, as they attempted to coax her out.
