The cats alibi is foolproof:)
So how wide an area are they locking down?
Not if the prosecutor tries to impeach them by calling character witnesses. Besides, I'd say these cats have a pretty well established record for moral turpitude.
Last I heard they were shutting down both sides of 1-64 for 22 miles around the community of Crozet and up to Rockfish Gap where the interstate crosses the Blue Ridge. For a while they also shut down US 250 which sort of runs alongside I-64. I bet the morning commute across the mountains was just a joy and a delight.
