Reporter James Cullum has spent nearly 20 years covering Northern Virginia. He began working with ALXnow in 2020, and has covered every story under the sun for the publication, from investigative stories to features and photo galleries. His work includes coverage of national and international situations, as well as from the White House, Capitol, Pentagon, Supreme Court and State Department. He's covered protests and riots throughout the U.S. (including the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol), in addition to earthquake-ridden Haiti, Western Sahara in North Africa and war-torn South Sudan. He has photographed presidents and other world leaders, celebrities and famous musicians, and excels under pressure.
No arrest has been made, but the Alexandria Police Department is investigating a connection between a break-in at a restaurant in Potomac Yard and a nearby apartment complex earlier this month.
The incidents occurred in the evening and early morning hours of June 30 and July 1, according to a recently released search warrant affidavit.
