From MPD over the weekend:
“This afternoon at approximately 3:45 pm a suspect was arrested for Robbery in the 700 block of Pennsylvania Ave SE as part of a MPD Robbery Decoy Operation. Two months ago Chief Lanier initiated a city-wide plan to address the rise in robberies. This plan includes deployment of patrol officers, the investigation of suspects (including those who traffic in stolen property) and several tactical operation, such as decoy operations. The initial deployment of MPD decoys were done confidentially; however, with the progression of the operations we will from time to time identify those arrests which are the result of a police decoy operation.
I would like to acknowledge and thank the selfless of officers who assume the undercover roles in the operations”
and
“At 2:45 PM, a robbery knife occurred in the 700 block of Columbia Road, Northwest.
Several officers on patrol were nearby the scene and observed the suspects fleeing.
The officers gave chase on foot and apprehended three suspects.
All three suspects have been arrested and charged with Robbery. The victim of this robbery was not injured.”
and
“Tonight at approximately 10:30 PM the Third District Crime Suppression Team made contact with two subjects in the 2600 block of 14 St NW.
Subsequent to the stop a hand gun was recovered from one subject and drugs were recovered from the second subject.”

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!
