It's time for this week's roundup of the region's wackiest news.
Editor's Note: Patch has 31 sites in Virginia and D.C., and not a day goes by that something weird isn't happening in at least one of them. Here's a look back at some weird goings on over the past week. Weird Virginia/DC usually runs on Patch sites every Saturday. Everyone knows that Northern Virginia and DC traffic is notoriously bad. Add a sinkhole to the mix, and you've got problems. That's what happened in Reston this week when motorists on Lawyers Road near Steeplechase were detoured, as a 10-foot sinkhole showed itself.

The was invited to address the students as a guest lecturer at the well-known law enforcement training facility.
Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman on Tuesday spoke to students at the 253rd session of the FBI Academy in Quantico, VA, during the Contemporary Issues in Police/Media Relations class.
