FREDERICK SUPPORTERS PLAN RALLY OUTSIDE CHESAPAKE JAIL

Supporters of Ryan Frederick, the man accused of fatally shooting a
city detective, are planning a march and rally Feb. 23 at the city
jail where the 28-year-old is being held without bail.

The rally is planned from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Chesapeake
Correctional Center, 400 Albemarle Drive. Frederick is expected to
appear in Chesapeake General District Court two days before the
planned rally for a bond hearing.

Maj. Jim O'Sullivan of the Chesapeake Sheriff's Office said he was
aware of plans for the rally. O'Sullivan said the marchers have a
right to rally as long as they don't interfere with operations at the
jail. The sheriff's office is not planning to take any extra measures
for the march, O'Sullivan said.

Frederick has been held at the jail since his arrest following the
Jan. 17 shooting of Detective Jarrod Shivers, 34, a father of three.
He is charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm and
first-offense possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor.

Shivers, an eight-year police veteran, was shot while executing a drug
search warrant at Frederick's home in the 900 block of Redstart Ave.,
in the Portlock section of Chesapeake. Police said Shivers was
attempting to enter the suspect's home when "shots were fired from
inside the residence," striking the detective.

Frederick, in a jail interview with The Virginian-Pilot, said he did
not know it was a police kicking in his front door and fired his
.380-caliber handgun at what he thought was an intruder. A special
prosecutor from Northern Virginia has been appointed to handle the
case. Paul Ebert, the commonwealth's attorney from Prince William
County, was appointed when Chesapeake prosecutors removed themselves
from the case to avoid any perceived appearance of bias.
