WASHINGTON — A D.C. woman, suspected of stealing a man’s car with four other suspects, was arrested Tuesday, police said.

Officials said four suspects approached a man inside his vehicle around 3:15 a.m. Tuesday in the 6200 block of Eastern Avenue in Northeast D.C. When the victim stopped his car, the suspects moved in and pulled the man from the vehicle. A fifth suspect then stole the car and drove away, police said in a news release.

A short time later, D.C. police found the car and arrested 45-year-old Samantha Greene, of Northeast D.C.

Greene has been charged with carjacking.

The victim was treated on the scene for injuries that were not life threatening.

Officials are asking anyone with information regarding the case to call D.C. police at 202-727-9099. Tipsters can text information to 50411.

National Museum of the American Latino to be housed in historic Smithsonian building

The Smithsonian Institution has decided to put the National Museum of the American Latino into an existing, historic building, rather than constructing a new one. The Smithsonian Board of Regents on Monday designated the Arts and Industries Building, a 145-year-old redbrick Victorian structure located between the Smithsonian Castle and the Hirshhorn Museum, as the permanent site of the National Museum of the American Latino, which Congress authorized in 2020. In 2022, the Smithsonian narrowed its survey for permanent locations for the National Museum of the American Latino and the American Women's History Museum to four locations near the National Mall on land owned by the National Park Service. The Arts and Industries Building, located at 900 Jefferson St. SW, was one of the four sites. New construction on National Park Service land would require congressional approval. However, since the Smithsonian already owns the Arts and Industries Building, the institution can place the National Museum of the American Latino in the existing building without additional legislation.
