“Dear PoPville,
I’m the UPS driver who got hit with the stray on 14th. I was about to go in to a building and a bullet came from behind and hit me in the hamstring. Went in and out and ended up in the truck somewhere. I flagged down a cop and he put a tourniquet on to stop the bleeding. Read More

“On Wednesday July 22, 2020, at approximately 1:45 am, Fourth District Unit were canvassing the 6600 block of 13th ST NW, in reference to a suspect that had fled on foot. The suspect was wanted for Simple Assault and was believed to be hiding in the alley. Our MPD Helicopter was utilized to put some extra light on the alley and was flying over the area for approximately 20 minutes. Unfortunately the suspect escaped, but his identity is known.
I just want to keep the community informed about what the police activity was in reference to.
