July
3, 2007, a Fairfax County cop was arrested and charged assault and burglary for
allegedly breaking into an ex-girlfriend's house and threatening her. He was also charged with stalking and misuse
of a telephone.
The
ex-girlfriend said the cop pursued her relentlessly after their breakup (They
had been together less than four months) and forced her to seek a restraining
order against him.
The
complaint said that the cop called her numerous times and at one point, at
about 6:30 in the morning, he "broke into my house and stormed upstairs,
(Finding her with an ex-boyfriend) started yelling at me…. I kept telling him to get out and that he was
acting crazy, and he responded, "If I were crazy I would have shot you
both.
At
this point I feel it is important to state that Rick is a police officer [with]
Fairfax County," Mavica wrote, adding that he was wearing part of his
uniform and had his firearm strapped on.”
He
left but attempted to contact her by calling her cellphone and sending a flurry
of text messages with ion message saying "pick up your phone. 25 cent texts add up quick and I'll send
1,000 today.” The next day, the young
woman found the cop sitting in front of her car. When she attempted to leave, he began to
follow her. She called 911 and drove to
a police station, she said.
