BETHESDA,
MD - LOCAL MAN HIT BY METRO TRAIN: Montgomery
County Police have still been unable Victim Dennis Drake was a regular commuter on the Red Line. At around 7:30 am Mr. Drake suddenly fell in front of the inbound train during what police are calling an attempted robbery. Metro officials were forced to close the rail station in order to repair and investigate the terminal. Commuters were forced to take buses or taxis for any stops past Friendship Heights.

Montgomery County investigators have confirmed that Mr. Drake was, in fact, pushed in front of a train and have ruled the death a possible murder. Police have no suspects in their investigations at this time, but several witnesses have come forward to give descriptions of Mr. Drake's assailant. Descriptions vary, but the assailant seems to have been a male Caucasian in his late twenties to early thirties, and stands about 6 feet tall. He described as wearing blue jeans, a thick navy blue sweatshirt and a black woolen hat. Police are asking anyone with information about the suspect to come forward. The station is reopened at 8:00 am the following morning, and returned to normal operation. Jeffery McCormic, Head of the Washington Metro Maintenance staff, said "My Staff is putting out one hundred and ten percent out there. This station will be open for business tomorrow." Mr. Drake's family has been unavailable for comment.

DCPD patrolman Eric Devon was placed under arrest earlier this month,
accused of impersonating a police officer though he had been off the force
for well over a year. Sources say Devon was caught on the Police Impound
lot, combing over the teal Chevy that was confiscated from the Waterfront
fire crime scene, linked to one Darnell "Q-Dawg" Stewart, for
evidence. When approached, Devon flashed his DCPD badge to Officer
DeShawn Rivers, who noted the badge number but had 
no reason at that
moment to detain Devon. Upon investigating the badge number, however,
Rivers found out that the badge was supposed to have been turned in a year
ago when Devon left the police force to go to the private sector. Devon
was actually registered as a Private Investigator. DCPD put out a warrant
for his arrest and he was detained soon after the incident, pending
disciplinary action or a trial. His PI license has been revoked, pending
resolution of this matter.
