Police Notes for Buckingham
May 23: Felony Hit and Run, 200 block of N. Glebe Road. At approximately 4:07p.m. on a Geo Prizm southbound on N. Glebe Rd. stopped for traffic and was rear-ended by a red Ford F-150 pickup truck which immediately fled the scene. The driver of the Prizm was transported to a local hospital with unspecified injuries.

Officers located the F-150 in the 1600 block of N. Oak St. with the driver passed out behind the wheel.
Brian Thomas McCabe, 42, of Arlington, was charged with felony Hit and Run, Driving While Intoxicated, and Refusal to Submit to a Breath Test and released on $10,000 bond.

According to the police, a man on the sidewalk watched the truck hit the car and then drive south for one block. The driver then turned around and drove north past the man who got the tag number off the truck. Officers ran the tag number and found the man at home, Det. Steve Gomez with the Arlington County police said. A hit-and-run is a felony when the struck vehicle is attended, or the victim is a pedestrian, and there was an injury or at least $1,000 damage to the victim’s vehicle.

May 28: Indecent Exposure, 400 block of N. Park Dr. At approximately 9:00 p.m., a woman entered a laundry room in the basement of an apartment building. A man in the laundry room greeted the woman, then left. A moment later, the man tapped on the window to get the woman’s attention and she saw that he was exposing himself. The woman ran to an apartment and called 911. The suspect is described as a dark-skinned Hispanic male in his mid to late 30s, 5 feet, 10 inches tall, 180 pounds, last seen wearing a navy blue polo shirt.
