Hello Chief Scott,
Something big was happening the night of 12/23 in the 4100 block of 31st. There were numerous emergency vehicles of all kinds here and it looked like someone was apprehended. We were hoping to find out more in one of your crime reports...we aren't trying to be nosy, just concerned that something warranting that much attention happened on our block and we haven't heard of it since. If you could shed some light on this incident we'd very much appreciate it.
Thanks!

On Sunday evening December 23rd in the 4100 block of 31st Street officers responded to a call for a subject who took an unknown type and quantity of pills then turned on the gas in the home, apparently in an attempt to commit suicide. As soon as our officers arrived on the scene they smelled the natural gas odor and immediately summoned the fire department.

When the subject opened the door and saw the officers he fled through the house and jumped out a window. He then assaulted one officer who deployed his Taser in order to subdue him. The subject was transported to Prince george's Hospital for an emergency psychological evaluation. The house was aired out and secured once the subject was in custody.

Crime Prevention Tip: Car Alarms

I received this earlier today courtesy of CPL Jim Flynn of the Bladensburg Police Department: For those of you who have a vehicle that has a remote entry device, you may also have a handy burglar/emergency alarm that you probably don’t think about. Most of these remote entry devices have a panic button that activates your vehicle’s security alarm system. Test it. It will activate from almost anywhere inside your house and will keep honking and flashing the lights until either your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the remote entry fob. It works if your vehicle is parked in your driveway or garage. So, the next time you come home for the night and start to put your keys away think of this: Put your car keys beside your bed when you retire for the night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone tries to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, within a few se...
