- Another crime scoop from the Examiner today, this time by Scott McCabe: a months-long drugs and guns police sting that was operating out of a storefront in the Langdon Park neighborhood has netted more than $1 million in heroin and 123 illegal guns. But was it entrapment? Plus more on the undercover informants and on a particular transaction that almost blew their cover.
- And Bill Myers has more on the Reggie Jones arrest. Police allege Jones used his squad car to drive at least one accomplice to the scene of the crime. For his part, “Jones has admitted to being on the scene when the shooting started but has denied any role in the robbery.”
- 14th and You breaks down the Mendo meeting on crime in Shaw. “Having now attended the meeting, I’m not sure why Mendelson would host it.” Ouch.
- DCPS, DDOE to move to 1200 First St. NE in February, reports Washington Business Journal. Get ready, NoMa!
- Could you one day be able to buy bottles of organic wine at local farmers markets? Montgomery County is considering allowing just that, via Silver Spring Penguin. We say: why the heck not?
- JDLand notes that the Nationals are not bringing back those free RFK Stadium parking again shuttles next year. They are, however, lowering single game tickets prices. Again. Won’t you PLEASE go to a Nats game next year?
