5 teens charged, one as adult, in violence after BCC-Walter Johnson football game in Bethesda

Five alleged participants in violence after a Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School-Walter Johnson High School football game last Friday in downtown Bethesda have been charged, one as an adult, Montgomery County police announced today. The arrests follow public outrage over a joint letter from Montgomery County Public Schools and the Montgomery County police chief two days earlier, the content of which led many to conclude no charges would be filed in the video-recorded violence, which went viral on the internet and TV news. But the letter noted that a criminal investigation was ongoing, and police said today that they expect more arrests to be made as additional participants are identified.

16-year-old Kharon Crosby of Bethesda has been charged as an adult with armed robbery and second-degree assault. Two other teenagers, aged 15 and 16, have been charged as juveniles with robbery and second-degree assault offenses. Another two 15-year-olds are facing first-degree-assault charges. The armed robbery charge appears to confirm an allegation that one teen's shoes were stolen, and rumors that a weapon was involved in the incident, which took place at the Bethesda Metro Center after the September 1 football game.

Police did not release a mugshot of Crosby. Anyone with additional information or video related to this case is asked to contact the Montgomery County Department of Police 2nd District Investigative Section at (240) 773-6710.

12 BCC students given Breathalyzer test at Homecoming dance

After all the controversy over alcohol consumption by some students attending the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School prom this year, and fallout over their punishment being overturned by then-Montgomery County Public Schools superintendent Larry Bowers, how did things go at the BCC Homecoming dance this past Saturday? Twelve students were pulled aside by MCPS security, who determined they smelled of alcohol upon their arrival at the event, according to an MCPS spokesperson. 

Gboyinde Onijala, a senior communications specialist with MCPS' Department of Public Information, said that the Breathalyzer tests were administered by Montgomery County police officers. Officials did not say how students who were determined to be under the influence were punished.

WEATHERPROOF THIEVES STRIKE BETHESDA NEIGHBORHOOD DURING HURRICANE SANDY, 2 NARCOTICS ARRESTS AT BCC HIGH SCHOOL - BETHESDA CRIME REPORT

"NEITHER RAIN,

NOR SNOW,

NOR HAIL!"

Another Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row Exclusive

Some guys just don't know when to quit.  While it's well known that inclement weather deters crime, one or more Bethesda thieves weren't so easily dissuaded Monday.  Even as Hurricane Sandy was beginning to hit Bethesda with winds and rain, he/she/they were on a mission in the Green Acres neighborhood - and it wasn't to find flashlights and batteries.

Three thefts were reported in the neighborhood Monday.  Two were in the 4600 block of Bayard Boulevard, and the third was in the 4700 block of Overbrook Road.

Theft-weary Green Acres has experienced many such crimes this year, particularly during its "Summer of Snatch," when it endured several theft and burglary waves.

Two other thefts on nearby Baltimore Avenue in the last week strongly indicate that thieves are targeting that area right now.  You know the drill:  lock car doors, and secure doors and windows in your home.  Report any suspicious vehicles or persons to the police.

Meanwhile, in downtown Bethesda, two narcotics arrests were made at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School on Thursday, October 25.  It is not yet known if those arrested were students enrolled at the school.
