LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va.—Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney (CA) Buta Biberaj has announced that her office will no longer automatically be involved in prosecuting certain misdemeanor crimes, including trespassing, petty larceny, underage possession of alcohol, and being drunk in public.

The announcement came on Friday, a day after ABC7 reported a letter Biberaj wrote to Loudoun County judges on Dec. 30 announcing the change, effective from Jan. 16.
