Charges were filed Thursday against a Woodbridge woman whom the Prince William County Police Department accused of pointing a gun at a teenage boy.
Whitney Jenay Kelley, 33, is charged with having a gun on school grounds, brandishing and obstruction of justice, according to court records. The police said Monday that Ms. Kelley is also charged with two counts of child neglect.
The police said they responded to the 14900 block of Enterprise Drive on Nov. 4 and found the 13-year-old, whom they did not publicly identify. The boy said that Ms. Kelley, whom he did not know, approached him and got into an argument with him about damage to her personal property.

During the argument, Ms. Kelley is alleged to have gone to her car, where her 12-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter were waiting, and retrieved her gun, which she then pointed at the boy. No shots were fired and no one was injured, police said.
As officers investigated the incident, they also determined that Ms. Kelley had driven to Rippon Middle School beforehand with the gun inside her car, the police said. They also found that, prior to Nov. 4, she had previously threatened the school resource officer working there.
Ms. Kelley was released on recognizance and is due back in court on Dec. 9, according to court records.
