An Advisory Neighborhood Commission representative in the Dupont Circle neighborhood allegedly tossed a homeless person’s belongings into the street and attacked a neighbor with a squirt bottle of cleaning liquid, according to a police report.

According to the complainant on the police report, Robert Leo Dwyer—who was elected as the ANC Commissioner for the 2B zoning commission in 2012—was “acting crazy” in the early morning hours of July 28th at the corner of 17th Street and Corcoran Street NW. The complainant said Dwyer was “throwing homeless peoples’ belongings into the street and spraying the area with an unknown liquid substance from a squirt bottle.” The police report also says that Dwyer was reportedly yelling racist comments while doing so.

When the complainant went to confront Dwyer, he attacked him, “[swinging] the squirt bottle at him” and spraying him with it, which the witness says had a “chemical odor,” and was “irritating the skin on his arms.”

Dwyer was brought in for questioning, where he admitted to tossing homeless peoples’ belongings out onto the street and spraying the area with what he says was a household cleaning product. According to the police report, Dwyer said that he did this because “the area had a bad odor due to the homeless population.” Dwyer also admitted to spraying a person who confronted him—the complainant in the police report—but says he didn’t think he said any racial slurs.

WNEW reports that the homeless person whose belongings Dwyer through out into the streets is Rodney Miller, who’s lived in a cardboard box around that area for several years. “He says it took him three hours to collect his belongings and to find his diabetes medication,” according to WNEW.
