“Dear PoPville,
I’m just dropping a note to mention that I watched the vehicle (silver Mercedes) in the attached picture traveling at high speed west down the 1300 block of E Street NE yesterday (Friday) just after 5:00pm. He hit a number of cars on our block, and continued down E Street hitting parked cars in the 1200, 1100, and 1000 block until hit a dead-end at 10th Street NE. There I caught up with him and another neighbor while we called the cops. We tried to get him to turn off the car but after about 10 minutes he jumped the curb and crossed the sidewalk to Maryland Avenue, hitting more cars and taking out street sign along the way.
He was eventually detained by Capitol Police at Massachusetts Avenue and D Street NE and I wrote out a witness statement. I have the arresting officer’s card and he suggested that anyone who was hit should make a report to MPD and email him with a witness statement.
My partner and I left notes on some cars that were sideswiped, but I was wondering if you could publish this on your blog? I’d like to connect anyone whose car was hit with the Capitol Police in the hopes that things might go easier with their insurance claim.
Thanks for your help.”
