Resident questions how police treated teens in Wheaton
A police stop involving three teens in Wheaton over the weekend had one resident questioning the conduct of Montgomery County police officers who were involved.
On Sunday, along Blueridge Avenue, officers gave the teens “pedestrian warnings” because they walked in the street, nearby resident Eduardo Ortiz said. But, Ortiz said, Blueridge Avenue does not have a sidewalk.
“From what I understand, the officers were doing pedestrian safety education,” said Capt. C. Thomas Jordan, a spokesman with Montgomery County police. [WUSA]
