Montgomery County Police issued a press release today announcing that a traffic stop in Germantown on March 8 led to the discovery of 20 suspected Fentanyl pills, approximately 21 grams of suspected Crystal Methamphetamine, Crack Cocaine and drug paraphernalia. This is the third press release regarding traffic stops that MCPD has released since Councilmember Will Jawando introduced Bill 12-23, the Safety and Traffic Equity in Policing (STEP) Act, on February 28, which will limit traffic stops that he says have resulted in racial disparities.

Per MCPD: “Officers from the Montgomery County Department of Police – 5th District Community Action Team have arrested 38-year-old Harry Perkins of Germantown for Possessing Fentanyl and Crystal Methamphetamine with the Intent to Distribute, on Wednesday, March 8, 2023. At approximately 11:35 p.m., officers observed a Chevrolet Equinox commit a moving violation in the area of Circle Gate Dr. and Wisteria Dr. Officers initiated a traffic stop of the Chevrolet in the area of Great Seneca Hwy. and Wisteria Dr.

Officers made contact with the driver and Perkins, who was a passenger in the Chevrolet. Perkins initially provided a false name to officers in attempt to avoid prosecution. Through investigative means, officers were able to positively identify Perkins and determined that there were 4 active warrants for Perkins’ arrest. Officers asked Perkins to exit the Chevrolet to place him under arrest. When Perkins exited the Chevrolet, officers observed drug paraphernalia on the passenger seat, providing officers probable cause to search the Chevrolet.

Great work by the Moco police! I think we have one of the best police forces; it's just too bad that there aren't enough police to deal with the growing crime problem.

It's just too bad they aren't willing to do their jobs

This is a bad attempt at trolling. Those of us paying attention are well aware that isn’t the case.

Please speak to your council members then. We have a greatly diminished police force right now and little hope for recruiting the numbers we used to get. Recruits just aren’t coming here since they will be treated better elsewhere.

The left wing can F off, they have become a parody of themselves. I will not vote a republican but I also can't in good conscience vote a democrat into office either. Pathetic

I was a Democrat in the 1990s (I am still a Democrat). Being a Democrat in the 1990s did not mean that you believed in gay marriage; it meant that you opposed gay marriage. The Defense of Marriage Act passed in 1996 by 342-67 in the House and 85-14 in the Senate (Biden voted for it), and it was signed by President Bill Clinton.

So I'm not very worried about anything else you say.

There were too many votes for Clinton to veto it. DOMA was signed mostly to prevent a constitutional amendment which was still a step in the right direction to LGBT rights.

Why were there too many votes for Clinton to veto it? Because most Democrats in the House and Senate voted for it. People shouldn't try to retcon general support for gay marriage back into the 1990s.

Politics are nuanced, it's not always as it seems. It was passed because they knew if they did not pass it the R were going to go for a full amendment.

It was actually a step in the right direction, but it's hard to understand that with a 2023 view of it.

Clinton signed it at night, no pictures of the signing and the pens were destroyed. That's how much he supported it.

Ds went on over the next 5 years to slowly put protections in place that lead up to the Repect for marriage act.

It was also in the middle of the AIDs crisis and R were demonizing gay people... just like they did to the chinese with COVID, same playbook.

Siging that bill made it possible to get more funding for HIV, pass a federal hate crime for LGBT people, banning discrimination based on sex orientation.

We are talking about a time where Republicans beating and killing gay people. Mathew Sheppard happened at this time.

It was certainly hard to understand with a 1996 view of it. Don't rewrite history.

Nothing is rewritten educate yourself. You can’t turn to fast or you will spin out of control.
