“Centreville-area man charged with two counts of carnal knowledge A Centreville-area man has been charged with a second felony count of carnal knowledge for his involvement with a 13-year-old girl from the Lorton area.

Reginald Andre Wright was originally arrested for sexually assaulting the teenage girl while she was staying at a friend’s home on Jan. 29. According to police, Wright had inappropriate contact with the girl on two occasions during her stay. She reported the incidents to her parents when she returned home, and police were contacted. Police arrested Wright at his home at 14845 Maidstone Court in the Centreville area on Feb. 2. He was taken to the Adult Detention Center and charged with one count of sexual assault and one count of carnal knowledge of a child, both felonies. The new charges are based on incidents that allegedly occurred a week earlier, Jan. 20, at the girl’s home in Centreville. Wright is still being held at the Adult Detention Center. He has now been charged with one count of sexual assault and two counts of carnal knowledge.”

The annual Miracle of Lights display at Bull Run Regional Park in Centreville will be open tomorrow night through Jan. 8.

The display consists of more than a million lights illuminating animated holiday scenes along a two-mile drive.

Hours are 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. daily (except New Year’s Eve).

This year’s display includes “Planet Holiday,” which features a gigantic spaceship with families of aliens preparing for Christmas; “Victorian Village,” which includes horse-drawn carriages, a gingerbread house and ice skaters; “Noah’s Ark”; “Santa’s Wood,” displaying squirrels, bears and beavers; the “Angel’s Playground,” where baby angels play on teeter-totters; and the “Enchanted Woods,” where wizards, unicorns, dragons and trolls live together.

Miracle of Lights donates a portion of its proceeds every year to a charity; this year it is Special Love Inc., a Winchester-based organization that provides programs for children with cancer and HIV or AIDS.

The cost is $12 a car (1-14 people); $25 a commercial van (15-34 people); and $50 a bus (35 or more people). The park is at 7700 Bull Run Dr.
