Police Report: May12-13

May 12th:

4200 block of Russell Avenue: At about Noon officers took a report of a hit and run motor vehicle crash. Their investigation revealed only that an unknown vehicle struck the victim’s/owner’s legally parked vehicle sometime during the evening/morning hours. The striking vehicle did not remain at the scene or leave any identifying information. The victim’s vehicle suffered only minor damage.

4700 block of 31st Place: At about 11 pm officers responded for a verbal domestic dispute. During their investigation of the incident they learned that the male half of the argument had an open warrant through Prince George’s County for assault. He was arrested and delivered to the custody of DOC in Hyattsville.

29th Street & Arundel Rd: At about 4:45 pm power shift officers observed two individuals drinking from open alcoholic containers. When the officers approached the two one of them threw two small baggies containing crack cocaine on the ground. That individual was arrested and charged with possession of a CDS and delivered to the custody of DOC in Hyattsville. The second individual was issued a criminal citation for the alcohol violation and released.

May 13th (early morning):

3200 block of Chillum Road: At about 12:30 am power shift officers were on patrol in the Queenstown Apartments area when they stopped to interview a suspicious individual who had eluded them earlier in the evening. The subject initially gave the officers several fake names, but ultimately realized that his attempts to lie about his identity were futile. When he gave the officers his real name they ran him through NCIC and discovered that he was wanted by the United States Marshalls Service for robbery. He was arrested and delivered to the custody of DOC in Hyattsville.

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
