Cemetery Records on Trump Incident — “The US Army has been ordered by a federal judge to release records related to former President Donald Trump’s controversial August visit to Arlington National Cemetery by Friday at the latest… The expedited release is a result of a lawsuit by American Oversight, a non-partisan watchdog nonprofit advocating for the release of government records. The group submitted a Freedom of Information Act request for any records relating to interactions between Trump campaign staff and the employee.” [WTOP]

Pink-Clad Thief Exposes Self — “Police are searching for a theft suspect wearing a pink hat and jacket who exposed himself Tuesday afternoon at a Virginia Square business. Arlington County Police responded around 3:35 p.m. to the report of a theft that had just happened in the 3500 block of Wilson Boulevard. Officers determined … the man exposed himself, grabbed some merchandise and left the store without paying.” [Patch]
Metal Chain Used as Weapon — “At approximately 4:00 p.m. on October 19, the male victim engaged the male suspect, who is an acquaintance, in conversation during which the suspect became confrontational. The suspect then briefly left the scene before returning with a metal chain.

Complaints About Screaming in Courthouse — “There’s a homeless man that gets drunk and screeches at the top of his lungs for hours in this courtyard near my apartment. He sits on a bench behind a bus stop across from sushi rock. Like 16th st N and North Scott street. He’s been doing it every other day for the past two weeks and I’m going insane.” [Reddit]
More on Arlington Transportation Plan — “Much of transportation policy pertains to the question of how to divide up a limited resource–the public right-of-way, or the road? This is the question that Arlington County will tackle over the next 18 months as we rewrite our Master Transportation Plan. This public engagement process is getting the top-shelf treatment in public engagement — the full ‘Arlington Way’ — so it even has its own branding.” [Greater Greater Washington]

Talk about a full and complete season.
When Malia Perry participates in next week’s Virginia High School League Girls State Open golf tournament, the Washington-Liberty Generals’ senior will have played in every postseason tournament possible this fall — five in total.
In a string of strong postseason performances, the Meridian Mustangs saved their best for last.
With a season-best 18-hole team score of 297, the high-school golfers won their first state championship. It was an unexpected turn of events, given how the season began, but the team ultimately hit its stride and never looked back.
Elected leaders and other stakeholders from Montgomery County, Md. were in Arlington last week to tour examples of “missing middle” housing.
The tour did not include any construction projects started under Arlington’s Expanded Housing Options, which a judge overturned last month, putting the completion of such projects in doubt. Instead, it focused on the look, feel and impact of two other examples of housing densification in South Arlington.
An Ohio man has been arrested and charged with raping a woman in a Rosslyn area apartment last year.
The crime happened in the early morning hours of Oct. 29, 2023, after police say an “unknown male suspect gained entry to the victim’s residence, entered her bedroom… then raped the victim before fleeing the residence on foot.”
