STANARDSVILLE—An English baron and noted director of such TV shows as “The Avengers,“ “The Saint,“ “Hawaii Five-0,“ “Magnum, P.I.,“ and “Airwolf,“ has been arrested and charged with felony larceny in Greene County, officials say. Raymond J. Devere-Austin, 76, lives at an estate on Buck Mountain Road in Albemarle County. Devere-Austin was arrested Monday and charged with stealing “numerous items” from the Antiquer’s Mall in Ruckersville, according to a news release from the Greene County Sheriff’s Office.

Greene County’s Arctic visitor, the Snowy Owl, did not survive his journey. On the Monday before Christmas, Dr. Dave McRuer, director of veterinary services at the Wildlife Center of Virginia, said that two days earlier someone had brought in a sick snowy owl from Greene. The bird was found on the ground near a pipeline. “The bird was emaciated and infested with lice,“ McRuer said. “Despite all our efforts, the bird did end up dying.“
