One burglar shot, another stabbed in Woodbridge
Jason Presley
Police say one burglar was shot and another stabbed breaking into a Woodbridge home Sunday night.
James Baumann Jr., 28, and Jason Lewis Presley, 32, are accused in a burglary in the 15100 block of Georgia Road about 11:30 p.m. Police say one of them was armed with a knife.
The 41-year-old resident of the house heard the burglars and went to investigate, said Erika Hernandez, Prince William police spokeswoman.
When the victim saw the two men, a fight ensued. Police said the resident grabbed a knife from one of the burglars and stabbed him.
Baumann suffered stab wounds and the victim had cuts on various parts of his body, Hernandez said.
After fighting one burglar, the victim grabbed his shotgun and shot the second burglar as he attempted to run.
All three men were all taken to the hospital.
Presley and the resident were treated for their injuries. The resident was released.
Baumann remained hospitalized Monday suffering life-threatening injuries.
Presley, of 14205 Chesterfield Road in Woodbridge, was charged with burglary while armed with the intent to commit larceny.
He was held without bond and is scheduled to appear in court on April, 29.
Warrants were obtained for Baumann, of 1302 Oregon Avenue in Woodbridge, charging him with malicious wounding and burglary while armed with the intent to commit larceny.
Hernandez said an investigation is ongoing.

First of all and as Sissy said, all good citizens wish your family well. They didn’t deserve this. Know that the honest citizens are with you.
It is good to know that I was right and that the home owner wasn’t a crook just asking for it. All the friends of the burglars and would be murders often insinuated such. But, what would you expect from such a crowd.
So much for that stupid “criminal street smarts” insinuation and excuse.
(watching) God bless you and your family! The community is keeping a watchful eye with you. I make a plea to all survivors of criminal violence: DO not become (yet) another victim to the injustice (that is so often) offered up in the PWC court system at the hands of the Commonwealth Prosecutors office and VICTIM WITNESS PROTECTION services. Your brother is the VICTIM, demand full protection and prosecution to the fullest extent the law provides. Understand every detail, do not be made to feel there is no other choice/ way to approach prosecution, If you feel the representation of the case is not handled correctly put it in the spotlight. Never allow the burdens of case load within the system to accept otherwise! Your brother, your case is worth every penny paid to them ... so demand their work for full justice.
I have sat back and read the comments on the article. I do appreciate the apology from the father of one of the attackers. I am the homeowners sister. I can not tell you the pain that your son and his so called friend (Mr. Baumann who was released from the hospital and taken directly to jail) inflicted on my family. We look forward to April 29th. Justice will be served.
When someone breaks into your home you do not have time to determine what their intentions are. I for one would have shot both of them on site. Period, end of discussion. See, just saved the taxpayers thousands of dollars as there is no need for incarceration.
Yeah I’m sure you where cool in school along with your other treky group.you still remind me of the type of guy that eats his own s#!t.You really need a hobby or atleast get a job.I know times are bad but Mcdonald’s is always hiring.(someguy)the low life scumbag.You know whats a shame is that someone didn’t do this to you.Your the one that should be in the hostpital Mot#er F#%er!!
Oh boy. I think I’ll try that with some screen names I’ve seen here.
Of course readers will pick up Stephanie’s game in a minute. Just can’t get over that GED hump girl. Gives you away every time.
What name do you suggest Stephanie?
I must apoligize for making people angry with my comments. I was born with a small….well…you know and I sometimes feel I have to use big words and talk down to people because of that. Sorry everyone. I like spending my time on small town news sites. I don’t have a girlfriend, family, job, sex life, so I find the need to “Blog” about un-important news articles. Does anyone have a peanut and rubber band I can borrow….I need a jock strap.
Ah. Stephanie, you need to use commas more often.
But Stephanie, a better guess was that I was the guy in school Jimmy feared most. Maybe that’s why I’m not intimidated by him, you or your little group. But, you wouldn’t know. Jimmy was keeping other fat boys from kicking your… well dollar signs aren’t something you really familiar with now.
It’s about your frame of reference there Stephanie. Mouths like you were always getting beat up. Now, were you not? Isn’t that why you’re always bringing up fat boys and fighting.
College ball games are on, but since college is a word that doesn’t often find it’s way into your conversation, I’d guess you’re going to watch WWF on the TV Jimmy stole… Or, you stole.
Yeah is that true? thanx I didn’t know you where a teacher.That’s it you where one of his teachers that didn’t succeed in your job.Or maybe Jimmy did kick your a$$ in school.If he didn’t I’m sure someone did and now you have to take your anger out on a blog page because you are to much of a wimp to speak your mind outside in the real world.If i do end up in a cell I hope your my cell mate so I can make you my punk! you remind me of a guy that eats their own s#!t. (someguy)is a scumbag
Mad-illiterate-MATT,
Sure, the “we know who you are” isn’t a veiled threat.
By the way, you corrupted the word YOUR. But you know about corrupt. You meant “YOU ARE” or YOU’RE. Just the obvious error.
People like you can only learn one lesson at a time. If that…
Finish your GED studies Mathew. Yeah. Right.
Basing your insults on wild guessing again? Thing about guessing is that people use their own frame of reference. That means, for the dummy Matt, you are basing your guesses for insults on your own fears of what you will become. Fear you’re going to be a fat old man wolfing down subs? Perhaps in a cell somewhere?
Nobody knows anything but you and your little buddies like what-as-her-name-mommy? But, there are at least two others who post that they saw this guy’s petty crime life style grow. You were oblivious, as you are to every meaningful thought presented. You’ve not yet heard what broqtoon wrote. I thought his comment would be the last. But even though your little group says to be nice, and broqtoon was nice, you still chant the lame, “you don’t know Jimmy!” All I hear is guilty people. If you knew Jimmy, why didn’t you stop him?
Good night fat Matt, or is that Stephanie…
Give the ball to the next tag team dummy…
Pass the ball to some-initials-mommy so she can further explain why the home owner, who she infers is at fault for being or doing something illegal because he wasn’t charged is still free and still hasn‘t been charged… Not being charged is damning according to her.
