Happy April Fool’s Day, Arlington!
If you’re looking for some Arlington-specific gag articles involving gondolas, Starbucks openings, HQ2 plans and non-existant Potomac Yard arenas, unfortunately that’s not in our repertoire.
Traffic Stop Leads to Gun Charge — “At approximately 5:52 p.m. on March 27, an officer conducted a traffic stop after observing a moving violation involving a vehicle displaying improper registration. During the course of the investigation, the officer determined that neither the driver nor passenger of the vehicle possessed a valid driver’s license. During a search of the vehicle prior to towing, a loaded firearm with extended magazine and a distribution amount of marijuana were recovered.” [ACPD]
Tennis Ball Recycling Falters — “Sometimes, you just can’t give them away, as supporters are finding in their desire to repurpose used, but still usable, tennis balls in Arlington. The matter was addressed at a March 19 joint meeting of the Arlington County government’s Sports Commission and Park and Recreation Commission. But the news was not good: There are plenty of available balls, but apparently little interest among groups that might benefit from reusing them.” [Gazette Leader]
