“Dear PoPville,
As my friend and I were wrapping up dinner on 7th street, we were about to leave when our car got blocked in by MPD and several cops got out and started running to arrest a teenager. There’s National Guard, FBI, ATF, etc all out in full force by Jefferson Marketplace apartments. Any ideas what happened or why the excessive presence of law enforcement?”
