At 2100 hours, Guardian Angels Jordan Estrada and Delanta Cowens met at China Town/Gallery Place for patrol.
At 2138 hours, we responded to a situation on the 7th street steps along with multiple MPD and Metro Transit officers. Officers had firearms drawn and were detaining a large group of juveniles suspected of criminal activity on the sidewalk in front of the steps. Numerous bystanders were fleeing the scene while other groups were crowding around and heckling the police. Angel Cowens and myself immediately posted on the officer’s south flank, blocking off the sidewalk leading up to the scene. We rerouted civilian traffic until the situation was resolved.
At 2156 hours, we shielded for Metro Transit officers at the corner of 7th and H streets while they detained an individual for disorderly conduct.
At 2330 hours, we posted up inside the metro station where a large group were loitering in order to deter any criminal activity with our presence.
At 0015 we disbanded the patrol.
At 0020 hours, as I was leaving the scene of the patrol, MPD officers were confronting several individuals at the bus stop on the corner of 7th and H streets. MPD officer Pitzen hailed me, asking me to find a Metro Transit officer. I located several Metro Transit officers around the corner, who were detaining another individual. One of them went to speak to officer Pitzen, and I took his place on scene until the detained individual was released.
