“woken up in my sleep by a man grouping me and hanging over my bed”

“Dear PoPville,

On late Friday night/Saturday morning at 3:15 am (March 26th), I was woken up in my sleep by a man grouping me and hanging over my bed. I was able to chase him out the back door. He decided to pick the lock at our back door, walk up the stairs, and enter my bedroom. He walked past my dresser with valuables that could have easily stolen and when I woke up, he began to apologize and ran.

He was a white man, around 6 feet tall, wearing a dark colored hat, and dressed in all black. Since my bedroom windows look out on U Street, we can’t help but assume that he had been watching me and that this was a planned attack.

If you could please ask the community if they have any security footage or if anything similar has happened to them, that would be appreciated. The police were contacted that night.”

Fox5 reported this occurred along the U Street corridor: “Metropolitan police are investigating this incident. A police report indicates they’re investigating it as a sexual assault and burglary.”

If anyone has any information or video from the 1700 block of U Street, NW please contact MPD.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
