“Dear PoPville,

Around 5:50pm Sunday night, a 12-14 yr old kid grabbed my wife’s butt while we got off the metro at Waterfront station (train was headed southbound, we were in the last car). I confronted the group – 4 kids total – and stated that they were most likely on video (hopefully this is true) and that I was calling the police. In response, one of them told me that he was going to “blast” me. Long story short, I followed them and gave a description to the 911 operator – props to Metro Transit PD and MPD for a very quick response. Of course, some idiot who had nothing to do with it was chirping at me to “stop snitchin.”

Suspects:

1. 5’0″, African American, a little chubby, red and black nike air shoes, light blue jeans sagged w/ visible black and white striped gym shorts, short knots in hair sticking up
2. 5’3-5’6″, African American, thin, black hoodie, same red and black nike shoes as #1, short knots in hair sticking up
#1 and #2 ran into Greenleaf (definitely did not chase them into that mess)
3. 5’6″, African American, thin, red shirt
4. 5’2-5’3″, African American, thin, white wife beater
#3 and #4 ran south across M street into the driveway by Senate Dry Cleaners

We made a full report and have a pipe dream of someone being held accountable (if nothing else, it might be a scared straight moment b/c 2 of them definitely looked like they saw a ghost). If anyone saw more, it would be great for MTPD to get that info…

We appreciate any help/info.

Best,
The Big Snitch”
