COLUMBIA, Md. (WUSA9) -- Police say an elderly woman was sexually assaulted in a wooded area on June 15.

The 86-year-old woman told police that she was waiting at a bus stop in the 7000 block of Cradlerock Way around 2:45 p.m. when an unknown man offered her a ride.

The victim told police she got in the car and the man pulled into an empty business complex parking lot in the 10600 block of Little Patuxent Parkway.

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VIRGINIA . . . Did you know that dumping trash, companion animals and other stuff on a public roadway is a crime? Or that pitching lighted matches, cigarettes, cigars, etc., from your vehicle can result in a ticket? Did you know that it’s against the law to drive trucks and other vehicles that let contents drop, sift, leak or otherwise escape from them? These and many other litter and illegal dumping laws will be enforced throughout this month as Prince William County Police join law enforcement agencies throughout the metropolitan Washington region in observing Litter and Illegal Dumping Enforcement Month. This campaign is part of an effort to raise awareness of litter, illegal dumping and related crimes, as well as reduce litter by strictly enforcing existing laws.Officers will concentrate on litter laws, illegal dumping and unsecured truck load laws throughout the County.

USA Today's Arienne Thompson says Chris Brown looks like a criminal in the photos, and it's unfortunate, because he's an A-List celebrity.
