Police Report: December 9

2900 block of Allison Street: At about 7 am officers responded for the report of a male individual looking into a woman’s apartment window. The woman advised communications that she witnessed a black male looking at her through one of her apartment windows. She said that he went to another window where he tried to get the window open to gain entry into the apartment. She was able to provide a detailed description of the man and hide in her bathroom until police arrived. When the officers arrived on the scene they found the man outside the victim’s apartment window exactly where she said he would be. When the man saw the officers he attempted to flee on foot but was caught immediately. He was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted burglary, trespassing, possession of CDS paraphernalia and stalking. He was delivered to the custody of DOC in Hyattsville.

One Municipal Place: At about 10 pm officers received a call for a man down. The officers arrived along with ambulance personnel and located a male individual who was highly intoxicated and in possession of an open container of alcohol. The man was asked if he was OK medically and if he required any medical attention. He made a non-verbal response that he did not require medical attention. When the officers asked the man to leave the area he became disorderly and verbally abusive towards the officers and refused to leave. All attempts to get the man to calm down and leave the area peacefully failed and the officers moved to place him under arrest. He became violent and resisted the officers, at one point striking an officer in the chest with a closed fist. The officers were able to wrestle him to the ground and place him under arrest and in handcuffs. He was taken by ambulance to Washington Adventist Hospital for examination where he was evaluated by medical personnel and released to the officers’ custody. He was delivered to the custody of DOC in Upper Marlboro and charged with possession of alcohol in a public place, disorderly conduct, resisting a lawful arrest and assault on a police officer.

The Risks of Connecting Devices to Public Charging Stations

The following information  comes courtesy  of the  New Jersey Cybersecurity & Communications Integration Cell Public cell phone charging stations supplied with power cables or USB ports located in stores, airports, libraries, and schools may seem like a convenient way to charge your mobile devices on-the-go, but can you be sure that your device and data will be safe if you connect? These kiosks can contain concealed computers that attempt to extract data such as contact information, photos, and videos from connected devices, unbeknownst to the users. Additionally, malicious or compromised charging stations can expose devices to the risk of a malware infection. Even if the charging station isn’t malicious, the manufacturer or owner of the kiosk may require users to input their email addresses or phone numbers in order to charge their devices, potentially exposing them to unwanted marketing campaigns, spam emails, and scam calls. The NJCCIC recommends ensuring your d
