Purcellville mayor calls special meeting after town leadership arrests

PURCELLVILLE, Va. The Purcellville Town Council will hold a special meeting Wednesday night to appoint an interim town manager following the arrests of Vice Mayor Ben Nett and Town Manager Kwasi Fraser on felony charges.

FOX 5’s Maureen Umeh says the arrests have shaken the Loudoun County town. Investigators say Nett and Fraser were involved in a scheme tied to town contracts, misuse of police resources, and a serious breach of public trust.

Nett, a former police officer, was previously fired for dishonesty. He now faces six felony charges, including allegations he used police department resources to advance his own agenda.
