Aggravated Assault Investigation Leads to Arrest

On September 14, 2026, at approximately 5:45 AM, deputies with the Henry County Sheriff’s Office responded to a reported assault at a residence located at 43 Brook Court in Henry County.

Upon arrival, deputies located an adult male victim inside the residence suffering from severe injuries.

Deputies also discovered evidence indicating that forced entry had been made into the residence. During the initial investigation, deputies determined that the victim’s vehicle, a Toyota Camry, had also been stolen.

The victim was treated at the scene by Henry County Public Safety and subsequently airlifted to an area hospital for further treatment. At this time, he is believed to be in stable condition.

As the investigation continued, a concerned citizen contacted law enforcement and reported that the stolen vehicle had been located on property in Patrick County.

Deputies with the Patrick County Sheriff’s Office responded and confirmed that the vehicle was the Toyota Camry stolen from the victim’s residence.

Investigators developed information identifying Robert Glenn Wagoner Jr. as a suspect in the assault and theft of the vehicle. Investigators with the Henry County Sheriff’s Office subsequently located Wagoner at a family member’s residence in Henry County. Evidence related to the investigation was recovered, and Wagoner was taken into custody.

Robert Glenn Wagoner Jr. has been charged with:

• Violation of Virginia Code Section: 18.2- 89 - Breaking and Entering in the Nighttime with Intent to Commit Assault and Battery

• Violation of Virginia Code Section: 18.2-51.2 - Aggravated Malicious Wounding

• Violation of Virginia Code Section: 18.2-95 - Grand Larceny of a Motor Vehicle

Wagoner is being held without bond at the Henry County Adult Detention Center on these charges.

The motive for the assault remains under investigation. Additional details will be released as appropriate as the
investigation continues.

The Henry County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Henry County Department of Public Safety, the Virginia State Police, and the Patrick County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance during this investigation

National Police Woman Day

Today, we proudly recognize every woman who serves the Henry County Sheriff’s Office and the many different roles they fill in keeping our agency strong and our community safe.

Some serve on the front lines. Others work investigations, detention, administration, records, community programs, and the countless responsibilities behind the scenes that keep our office moving every day. No matter the assignment, each of them plays an important part in the mission of the Henry County Sheriff’s Office.

These women bring strength, professionalism, compassion, knowledge, and dedication to their work. They answer the call when someone needs help, support victims and families during some of their most difficult moments, stand beside their fellow deputies and coworkers, and give their time and talents in service to the people of Henry County.

Their contributions cannot always be measured by a badge, a uniform, or a job title. Every position matters, and every woman who serves within our Sheriff’s Office helps make a difference.

On National Police Woman Day, we simply want to say thank you to the incredible women of the Henry County Sheriff’s Office. We are proud to serve alongside you, grateful for everything you do, and thankful for the commitment you show to our agency and our community each and every day.

25 YEARS LATER, WE REMEMBER

This morning, we invite our community to join All Vets and the Henry County Sheriff’s Office as we come together to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and remember the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The memorial ceremony will begin at 10:00 AM and will include the Presentation of Colors by Magna Vista JROTC, the National Anthem performed by the Magna Vista Warrior Singers, and remarks from local law enforcement, All Vets, and first responders.

Due to the weather, the stair climb portion of the event has changed. Participants are encouraged to complete the 2,071-step memorial climb on their own at a safe location in the coming weeks.

The weather may have changed our plans, but it will never change our purpose.

Today, we remember. We honor. We will never forget.

The Henry County Sheriff’s Office is proud to congratulate Deputy Martin Falloon, who was presented with the Distinguished Service Award by the Fontaine Ruritan Club last night in recognition of his faithful and dedicated service.

Deputy Falloon has been with the Henry County Sheriff’s Office for a little over two years, but in that short time he has already built a reputation as a hardworking and dependable member of our team.

He began his career with the Sheriff’s Office in our Adult Detention Center. He later transitioned to Patrol and continued to distinguish himself, earning the Director’s Award while attending the patrol academy.

Today, Deputy Falloon handles a high volume of calls for service while maintaining a strong clearance rate. More importantly, he approaches each call with professionalism, determination, and a genuine commitment to the people he serves.

And for those who have followed us for a while, you may also remember Martin as our “dancing deputy.” His personality and willingness to connect with the community are just another part of what makes him such a valuable member of the Henry County Sheriff’s Office.

We sincerely thank the Fontaine Ruritan Club for recognizing Deputy Falloon and for its continued support of local first responders. The club has a long history of recognizing those who serve our community, and we are grateful for that continued partnership.

Congratulations, Deputy Falloon. This recognition is well deserved, and we are proud to have you representing the Henry County Sheriff’s Office.

25 YEARS LATER, WE REMEMBER

Today, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office pauses to remember September 11, 2001, a day that forever changed our nation.

We remember the innocent lives lost at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and aboard Flight 93. We honor the firefighters, law enforcement officers, emergency medical personnel, military members, dispatchers, and countless others who answered the call when our nation needed them most.

On that morning, while so many were running from unimaginable danger, first responders were running toward it. Their courage, sacrifice, and selflessness remain an example of what it truly means to serve others.

Twenty five years later, we continue to remember the families who lost loved ones, the survivors whose lives were forever changed, and the men and women who have carried the physical and emotional effects of that day ever since.

September 11 also reminds us of the strength and unity our country showed in the days that followed. Neighbors helped neighbors. Strangers became family. Americans stood together.

May we never forget those we lost. May we never forget those who answered the call. And may we always honor their memory through service, courage, compassion, and unity.

From Sheriff Wayne Davis and the men and women of the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, we remember. We honor. We will never forget.

REMEMBERING LIEUTENANT BRIAN KEITH LAWSON

The Henry County Sheriff’s Office is deeply saddened by the passing of retired Lieutenant Brian Keith Lawson, who passed away on September 4, 2026, following a courageous battle with leukemia.

Brian dedicated his life to serving others. He was a veteran of the United States Army and spent 29 years in law enforcement, serving with the Martinsville Police Department, Martinsville Sheriff’s Office, Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Office, Ferrum College, and the Henry County Sheriff’s Office.

To those of us who had the privilege of working alongside him, Brian was much more than the badge he wore. He was an outstanding deputy, a trusted friend, a mentor, and someone you could always count on. He brought experience, compassion, humor, and a strong sense of duty to every assignment.

Brian’s courage and dedication were evident throughout his career. In 2010, while serving with the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, Brian responded to an explosion on Hobson Road in Axton. He located a critically injured man near the burning structure, called for emergency medical assistance, and immediately began CPR. It was the kind of response that showed exactly who Brian was when someone needed help.

But Brian’s legacy cannot be measured by a uniform, a rank, or the number of years he served. It lives on through the people he helped, the officers he influenced, the friendships he built, and most importantly, the family he loved so deeply.

Sheriff Wayne Davis and the men and women of the Henry County Sheriff’s Office extend our deepest condolences to Brian’s wife, children, grandchildren, family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing and serving alongside him.

Brian was an amazing deputy, an exceptional public servant, and a valued member of our law enforcement family. His service and the impact he made on this community will not be forgotten.

Thank you, Brian, for your service, your friendship, and the example you left behind.

The family will receive friends Tuesday, September 8, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Freedom Baptist Church, 790 Irisburg Road, Axton, Virginia.

A funeral service will be held Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Freedom Baptist Church.
