Good morning, Washington. We were already considering ourselves fortunate that the local damage sustained during Hurricane Irene was mostly limited to some long-term power outages, a temporary disruption to the school year and downed trees. But maybe we should be recounting our lucky stars, since it looks like the Federal Emergency Management Agency is running out of cash. (That’s probably the last thing people in Vermont want to hear this morning.)

Cop Arrested In Shooting Has History With Booze: Kenneth Furr, the D.C. police officer who was arrested last week after an incident in which he allegedly crashed his car into another, yelled “I’m gonna kill all of you,” then shot a group of people which included transgender women with his service weapon, has had issues with alcohol in the past. The Examiner reports on court documents which show that Furr has gotten into trouble twice before for drunken conduct, first being placed on administrative leave in 1996 after being drunk while on duty, then being arrested for driving while intoxicated in 2004.

Gray To Announce New Chief of Staff: Last night, the Washington Post’s Nikita Stewart confirmed news that the Washington City Paper’s Alan Suderman reported last week — Mayor Vince Gray is all set to announce the hiring of deputy chief of staff at the Department of Housing and Urban Development Christopher Murphy as his new chief of staff. Gray will also bring on former Howard Dean deputy campaign manager Andrea “Andi” Pringle as Murphy’s deputy. It’s an attempt by Gray to, in his own words, bring in “some fresh faces, some fresh eyes on the business of government.” It’s been five months since Gray fired his former chief of staff, Gerri Mason Hall, after several allegations over improper conduct emerged.

Crittenton Arrested: The manhunt for Javaris Crittenton has ended, after the former Washington Wizards player was arrested without incident at John Wayne Airport in Orange County last night. Atlanta police have charged Crittenton with the murder of 22-year-old Jullian Jones, a mother of four young children, earlier this month. Crittenton’s attorney remains strident that the basketball player is innocent, saying that Crittenton is “looking forward to getting it to the courts.”

Briefly Noted: D.C. ranks seventh in ranking of city walkability…National Park Service says you can’t ride on parkways, bike advocates want to know why…MetroAccess drivers want fewer hours…D.C. lottery provider looking for a few good online bingo moderators…Parents of found Prince George’s County boy located…Keeping an eye on Katia…All the D.C. mythbusting you can handle, in one fell swoop.

This Day in DCist: Last year, we let photographs tell the story of the dueling Glenn Beck/NAACP rallies, and polls showed that people were more optimistic than ever about the direction the District was heading.
