The Shenandoah County Sheriff's Office is investigating an alleged three-against-one attack. The victim is a 20-year-old man from Woodstock. Deputies say the man got picked up by two other men near the intersection of Route 42 and Route 11 on July 31. Then they say the men would not let the victim out of the car. Instead, the men allegedly took the victim to a church parking lot in Conicville and beat him, fracturing his head.

Deputies have arrested three suspects: Michael Rocha of Woodstock, Jessie Herald of Edinburg, and John Schnarrs of Mount Jackson. They face malicious wounding and abduction charges and are scheduled to appear in court on August 22.
