Unfortunately, a police spokesperson says, a witness in this case described a silver sedan, not a trash truck. At this moment the police are not sure why the alert said they were in a trash truck. Washingtonian plans to follow this story anyway.
Andrew Beaujon joined Washingtonian in late 2014. He was previously with the Poynter Institute, TBD.com, and Washington City Paper. He lives in Del Ray.
