Prince William County pharmacist charged with attempted rape inside store

The owner of a pharmacy in Gainesville, Virginia, has been charged with a 2021 attempted rape within the store, Prince William County Police said.

Davinder Pal Kahlon, 41, of Bristow, is charged with attempted rape at GainesvilleRx Pharmacy, located at 7963 Heritage Village Plaza, near the Heritage Hunt community, on Jan. 23, 2021.

According to a police news release, the adult woman “went to the pharmacy near closing time and while inside the business, the owner closed the store before pulling the victim into a room and sexually assaulting her,” before she left the business.

The woman recently reported the incident, prompting the criminal investigation, according to police. Kahlon turned himself in to police on March 19.

He’s been charged with attempted rape — a felony — and was released on bail until his April 2 arraignment.

After nearly 50 years, Dale City Music is closing

After nearly five decades serving musicians, students and families from the same Dale Boulevard location, Dale City Music is preparing to close its doors, ending a 48-year run as a locally owned music store and community resource, according to multiple sources. The store, at 4367 Dale Blvd., is slated to close July 31. An employee, Adren Harris, told InsideNoVa the owners decided to shut down amid rising commercial rents and concerns about taking on unsustainable debt. “Our last day of normal business will be this Friday,” Harris said. Harris said the store’s owners determined closing was preferable to continuing under increasingly difficult financial conditions.
