The Metropolitan Police Department announces an arrest has been made in a felony threats offense that occurred in Northwest.
On Monday, September 30, 2024, at approximately 3:00pm, officers were flagged down in the 3100 block of 14th Street, Northwest for a destruction of property offense. While on the scene, officers observed an individual in a verbal altercation with an employee at the establishment. The suspect threatened to assault the employee and used homophobic slurs.
Officers quickly apprehended 28-year-old Jasmine Cunningham of Northwest. She was arrested and charged with Threat to Kidnap Or Injure A Person and Theft in the Second Degree.
The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating this offense as potentially being motivated by hate or bias.

A designation as a hate crime by MPD does not mean that prosecutors will prosecute it as a hate crime. The Special Liaison Branch is assisting with this investigation.
