“Dear PoPville,
A call was made by a disgruntled customer to the cvs pharmacy that they were going to come in a “find them and…”; I wasn’t on the call, obviously, and I don’t know what the threat was, but the pharmacist was threatened enough that she felt her life was in danger. She was so calm on the phone, asking for guidance w police who offered no help. She finally just said “I don’t know why to do, so I guess let’s just get this on record that it happened and I’m scared for my life. Take that down.” (Paraphrased) (more…)

“3rd District Community Advisory Committee meeting (20-30 attendees)
The Third District has stepped up on-foot/bike/car patrols both in uniform and plain-clothed/undercover in the high-activity area. The Crime Suppression Team (where VICE is now centralized) has also increased activity in the 3rd district. The MPD Chief approved overtime pay to meet staffing needs for increased patrols.
The gun violence isn’t attributed to one specific cause. It ranges from petty disagreements to drug deals to gang activity and often comes with uncooperative victims and witnesses. (more…)

From a press release:
“Attorney General Karl A. Racine today announced that the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) for the first time has been appointed by a federal court to represent the views of the community in an adult criminal matter in which it does not have prosecutorial authority. Specifically, the Honorable Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has asked OAG to gather and represent the views of District residents and the community on whether the court should reduce Rayful Edmond’s sentence. Edmond was convicted in 1990 on felony drug distribution charges and is serving a life sentence without parole. OAG will invite District residents and the community to share their views on Edmond’s sentence at public forums, and by submitting comments online, by telephone, or by mail (see details below). OAG will then submit a brief to the court that reflects the community’s views by August 30, 2019. (more…)
