Good morning, Washington. The Prince is here! No, not that one — Charles, who has made the leap across the pond to talk agriculture and meet with President Barack Obama. Prince Charles will be checking out Common Good City Farm this afternoon, deliver a speech at Georgetown tomorrow and also visit the Supreme Court during his first visit to the District since 2005. (We’re also hearing rumors that HRH might be stopping by Big Bear Cafe at some point this evening, for those who are still riding the royal high from last Friday and want to try and catch a glimpse of royalty.)

Escaped Youth Arrested: Treyon Cortez Carey, who violently beat a guard during an escape from the New Beginnings Youth Correctional Facility last month, has been arrested by police. Around 4 p.m. yesterday, authorities brought the 18-year-old Carey into custody and charged him with assault on a police officer.

Police Legislation On Tap: D.C. Councilmember David Catania is expected to introduce legislation today which would form a six-person committee to study the District’s police force — and, specifically, how the city could prevent it from dwindling. Perhaps the committee will be able to actually hammer down the precise minimum number of cops the city needs — Chief Cathy Lanier has said 3,800, Councilmember Jack Evans has said 4,000, and the Council has set a target of 4,200. Currently, there are 3,880 officers on MPD’s books, but hundreds of retirements are looming; as proposed, Mayor Vince Gray’s 2012 budget would reduce the police force to around 3,700 officers.

Kwame Brown Deposed: D.C. Council Chair Kwame Brown spent about two hours with Office of Campaign Finance investigators yesterday, though no one was talking about what he said. A recent audit conducted by OCF discovered that Brown could not account for around $300,000 in expenses spent during his 2008 reelection campaign. Depending on the probe’s conclusions, Brown could face fines from OCF and the matter could potentially be forwarded to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Briefly Noted: Alexandria transportation add-on tax shot down…Virginia can’t afford to inspect grocery scales…Florida Avenue Baptist Church goes solar…It looks like Southwest will pick up AirTran’s National Airport slots…Adams Morgan boutique hotel to file development application by July…Local Muslim leaders relieved by bin Laden death…Yeah, about that Martin Luther King, Jr. quote.

This Day in DCist: Last year, the Supreme Court closed its front doors to the public, Chevy Chase native George Huguely was charged with first-degree murder, and we examined the New York Times Magazine’s media safari through Washington nightlife.
