From MPD:

“Early this morning, the Fourth District’s Crime Suppression Team served a search warrant at a residence in the 1000 block of Quebec Place, NW. Seized as evidence within the residence was an assault-style rifle, two semi-automatic handguns, two replica air pistols, and numerous rounds of ammunition. Arrested on the scene was 20-year-old Nijee Simpson and a 16-year-old male, both of whom were charged with multiple counts of illegally possessing firearms and ammunition.

Please call 911 to report suspicious activities, vehicles, or persons. Provide the best possible description and locations to provide the officers with information to conduct a thorough preliminary investigation.”

“So if you are driving through 9th and Jefferson St, NW, please BEWARE!”

“Dear PoPville,

I was in a car accident last Friday a few blocks from my house. Minor fender bender but I was majorly pissed because the car I hit didn’t stop at her stop sign. I didn’t realize until after inspections of the vehicles that her stop sign was laying on the ground. *insert colorful language here*

My assumption was that the sign probably came down as result of the crazy wind storms we’ve had since that previous Friday. Regardless, today is now Wednesday (5 days after I called 311 to make the repair) and and the sign is still down! (more…)
