Darrell Barber is back.

<< If I find out from the US Attorney that a particular burglar is out of jail again, I’ll send out his photo – since he matches the description of a suspect committing day home burglaries. >>

 

The US Attorney’s office confirmed that Darrel Barber was released from jail in March. I suspect he is committing day-time house burglaries again. If he (pictured) knocks on your door to ask if you want to have some yard works done, he is probably doing so to break in if you didn’t answer. I don’t yet know if his probation conditions prohibit him from certain areas

 

If a listserv stripped the photos off the email, the pictures of Darrell Barber are posted on this page http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/DupontForum/photos/browse/70d8. One is titled “Day Burglar Person of Interest”.

I had a passionate discussion about what to do about homelessness, Wednesday. Thanks to all who came out. But what to do next?

 

Craig Keller, from the Homeless Services section of DC’s Department of Mental Health, offered to follow up with individual cases and property owners who are not operating in accordance with the community (my phrase). He seemed to be hot on the task. Send him the location and time the person is there and he will try to help them.

 

He also offered to talk to property owners such as churches who are creating issues. We had quite a few churches represented Wednesday but a few didn’t respond to invitations to come.

Also, this Wednesday at 7pm Foundry is having another open meeting. It’s “Solutions to Homelessness.” I can’t make that, but I hope some of you can and can convey to me the gist and desired follow on.

Dupont Public Safety Meeting/PSA 306 is Tuesday June 19 at 7pm at the Foundry Methodist at the NW corner of 16^th and P.  (It’s usually held on the 3^rd Tuesdays for Dupont and Kalorama-Sheridan issues at 1620 V Street NW.) Our community depends on good communications to and from our police. This is a roundtable meeting where we problem-solve. Bring an issue – no matter how minor. Or email me or our lieutenants to submit items for discussion.

 

We’ll concentrate on public safety and homelessness issues revolving around churches, Borderstan (14^th to R to 16^th to P) issues, and whatever other in general public safety issues people want to address.

 

We’re concentrating on church issues because quite a few people have independently had issues with what goes on around different churches in that area. Thank you to Foundry Methodist (http://www.foundryumc.org/) for hosting.

 

If I find out from the US Attorney that a particular burglar is out of jail again, I’ll send out his photo – since he matches the description of a suspect committing day home burglaries.

Drug Squad Coming to Tuesday's Dupont Public Safety Meeting and other news

Reminder: Dupont Public Safety Meeting/PSA 306 is Tuesday May 15th at 7pm at the 3^rd District Metropolitan Police Dept Headquarters at 1620 V Street. (That’s held on the 3^rd Tuesdays for Dupont and Kalorama-Sheridan issues.) Our community depends on good communications to and from our police. This is a roundtable meeting where we problem-solve. Bring an issue – no matter how minor. Or email me or our lieutenants to submit items for discussion. If you are frustrated by past police response to issues, give it another try. MPD seems to have gotten better.

 

·        At Tuesday’s meeting, we plan to have Lt. Wilfredo Manlapaz who runs the 3D Focus Mission Unit (the drug and vice squad) or his staff to talk about problems with drug dealing in the neighborhood. If you have info that would be of value please collect and convey.

 

·        Inspector Linda C. Brown who replaced, now, Commander of the Special Operations Division Patrick Burke is planning to come to the meeting to introduce herself.

 

·        Sergeant Tanya Bell got the command of the GLLU (Gay & Lesbian Liaison Unit). She or the lieutenant who oversees that unit may come by.

 

Upcoming Meetings:

 

We are planning to hold the June 19^th Public Safety/PSA meeting in a church on 15^th or `6^th Street to talk about issues around homelessness and other community relations issues that citizen and the area churches may have. We’re holding this because quite a few people have independently had issues with what goes on around different churches in that area.  

 

June 4 DCCA meeting will be on the topic of Public Safety: We’ll be announcing the details of that this week. It’ll be a joint meeting with the Logan Circle Citizens Association and will be at the Studio Theater at 14^th and P at 7:30pm.

 

News:

 

Wayne Bridgeforth got 40 months this time for stealing packages. He got 7 months the previous time. Thanks to all those who sent letters to the judge.

 

There’s a grey haired white male of about 60 years who is again going around cutting city trees and going in yards cutting private trees. This guy seems to think he is widening the public right of way. But he’s doing it in a way that is killing and damaging trees. He’ll leave a sharp branch at eye level…Please do look out for this guy. He does it in day light. And please call 911 if you see him. The fine can be $5000 for violating the 2002 Urban Forestry Act.

 

A graffiti vandal was caught a 14^th and U last week but the barrage continues. And now there seem to be a movement to make the graffiti vandal who was jailed last year, the center of a counter-culture movement: http://borfyou.com/.

Please consider Writing a Victim Impact or Community Impact Statement for Wayne Bridgeforth's Sentencing

Attached are two suggested letters. It would be great if you could send something like one of those to the US Attorney Community Liaison, Marilyn Morey (Marilyn.Morey@usdoj.gov), today, expressing your desire for the judge to treat the record and charges of Wayne Bridgeforth as seriously as possible regarding sentencing guidelines. She will get them to the judge who tomorrow will sentence Wayne Bridgeforth for stealing packages. Previous sentences for similar crimes have been far lower than what seemed reasonable (120 days in jail for stealing US Mail - when he has a record longer than your arm).
