Nick Minock at WJLA received numerous emails from the Fairfax County Police Department to the Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney, Steve Descano, regarding Abdul Jalloh.
You know, like, why Descano kept dropping charges against Jalloh.
Jalloh, an illegal alien from Sierra Leone, allegedly stabbed to death Stephanie Minter, 41, at a Virginia bus stop.
He entered the U.S. in 2012.
Minock read one email on X (I emphasized the letter):
I heard that police warned the Fairfax County prosecutor, who dropped numerous charges against this man in the past, that he, if he was allowed to be back out into the community, could do something like this [murder].So I submitted a Freedom of Information Act Request, seeking the communication between the police department and the prosecutor’s office, Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney, Steve Descano office, and I just received results of that FOIA back.And what I have here is an email from a police major in Fairfax County dated November 15 to the Fairfax County Commonwealth attorney’s office. I’ll read some of it to you.Says “I want to bring Mr. Jalloh’s release to your attention, because Mr. Jalloh is one of the repeat and violent offenders we discussed when we met. I wanted to get your background on why he is out so soon, and ask if his prior suspended sentence of, I believe, five years, was pursued by your office.”He goes on to say, and pay attention to this,“Unfortunately, based on the station’s numerous dealings with him, it is not a question of if, but rather when, he will maliciously wound or worse. Again, my role of keeping the public safe prompts me to follow up on his status.”So this email between the police department and Fairfax County Commonwealth attorney Steve Descano’s office happened in November, and the police were warning the prosecutor’s office that if this guy was released back into the community again, something like this could happen, the murder of Stephanie Minter, and it did.Mr. Jalloh has more than 40 past charges, and almost every case, Descano’s office dropped those charges and released this illegal immigrant, violent offender, back into the community, and they had a warning from the police department.
Jollah previously faced “rape, malicious wounding, assault, identity theft, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, assault, and pickpocketing” charges.
7News found Jalloh has more than 40 past charges in Fairfax County, ranging from rape to assault, and in almost every case, Descano’s office dropped the charges.An email of a bond alert from August 2025 from a Fairfax County police employee to Assistant Chief Brooke Wright, which says Jalloh: has had over 100 involvements with FCPD over the years, resulting in multiple charges and arrests, spanning from theft to violent crimes against persons. JALLOH’s offenses began with domestic violence incidents and escalated to assaulting other victims and threats with weapons (knives). He has been involved in multiple stabbing incidents with victims identifying him as the offender in these cases. This year JALLOH has been the offender in a malicious wounding where he stabbed a man in May 2025, in which he received a bond on July 31, 2025— three weeks later, this incident occurred where he assaulted an older male and stomped his head into the ground.
I bet the police department lost its mind when Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger said she would not honor an ICE detainer for Jollah. She told DHS to get a judicial warrant.
*sigh*
ICE does not need a warrant unless a judge finds probable cause that a federal crime was committed.
