From MPD:

“This morning [Tuesday] at approximately 12:30 AM, members of the Fourth District’s Crime Suppression Team were on patrol when they observed a vehicle traveling in the 5700 block of Georgia Avenue, NW, with no headlights on. The officers conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle, which was occupied by three males. When the officers approached the vehicle the two passengers fled from the vehicle on foot. The officers gave chase to the subjects and caught one in the 5700 block of Georgia Avenue, NW, and the other in the 800 block of Marietta Place, NW. The officers noticed that the passengers were holding their waistbands as they ran so the area where the subjects ran was canvassed by officers. One pistol was located in the 5700 block of Georgia Avenue, NW, and another was located in the 5700 block of 9th Street, NW. The two subjects were then placed under arrest for Carrying a Pistol Without a License and other related firearms offenses. The driver remained with the vehicle; however, a check was conducted and it was determined that the driver did not possess a valid driver’s permit. The driver was then placed under arrest for not having a valid driving permit.”
