“Matt Fariss, the former Republican lawmaker in Virginia who in November lost his reelection bid as an independent candidate, was arrested on Saturday evening on charges of possession of a firearm, possession of narcotics and violation of a protective order,” Cardinal News reports.
“Fariss’ arrest comes less than three weeks after he was acquitted of two felony charges in a March 2023 incident that injured Julie Miles, a woman he was seeing romantically, and led her to obtain a protective order against him.”
