“Dear PoPville,

Assault with deadly weapon on Mt. Pleasant St NW on Sunday, November 19th at 12pm

On Sunday, November 19th at 12pm, I was sitting on the Sun’s Cinema patio on Mt. Pleasant Street NW with two friends. We were eating lunch with our two dogs when we were approached by an agitated individual known in the neighborhood.

The dogs began to bark, and this person became activated and started yelling threats. I was unable to de-escalate the situation. (more…)
