13-Year-Old Charged With Extortion

A 13-year-old boy is accused of making threats against another teen and his family, according to Fairfax County police.

The suspect threatened to hurt a fellow Poe Middle School student if he didn't hand over cash in their Annandale neighbor after school one afternoon. The suspect also allegedly told his victim he'd be protected if he joined the suspect's gang at a price. Membership was expensive, the victim told police. He said the suspect wanted $500 to join the gang or the suspect would kill the victim's father.
