The Metropolitan Police Department has recently made a move to assure residents in Northwest, DC, as they reported the arrest of a man charged with stalking. The series of fear-inducing events unfolded in the neighborhoods of Georgetown and Foggy Bottom, between July 5 and July 21, according to MPD. The suspect's activities were brought to a halt thanks to the community's vigilance, which played a role in his identification and subsequent arrest.
As detailed by the MPD, indicates that on July 21, 39-year-old Delonta Deon Spriggs, a resident of Northeast, was apprehended by the authorities. While residents can momentarily breathe easier knowing the suspect is in custody, the unsettling knowledge that it took multiple incidents to finally detain the individual might make one hesitantly hope for a swift and thorough prosecutorial process.
The MPD encourages anyone with information to step forward to aid the ongoing inquiry, and they've put out a request, urging individuals to call the Metropolitan Police Department at 202-727-9099 or to text 50411 with any details that might shine further light on these concerns.
