Fast & Furious

Chatted with Ace this morning, he recounted a chase that happened early this AM along Potomac, Miami and back to Potomac.  A number of chase vehicles.  Neighbor Joe was up at the time, heard a lot of racket and went to the window to see a car with lights out going south on Potomac at a high rate of speed (he said he thought 80mph), no lights, with State, County, and WL on the chase.  He turned on his scanner to hear mention of "boat ramp" (maybe Venita?).  More to follow?

Police Report
Chief Gary reported very busy month, including two stops for speeding that turned out to be arrests because of outstanding warrants.  Neither were WL residents.  This has been a continuing trend starting last year.  Stops that turn into arrests tie up the officer for some time.  Makes you wonder if our tickets recover any portion of the amount of time/money spent.  Could it be a revenue/budget issue to explore?  A question one of the aldermen might want to check out.
