Nude man busted after crash on roadway in Fairfax Co.

WASHINGTON — Fairfax County police have arrested a man who could have been involved in a car crash on southbound Route 28 in Herndon, Virginia, that led to a closure of the roadway Tuesday afternoon. Around 3:30 p.m., police said they received a call about a crash and a man possibly involved seen fleeing the scene without his clothes on. The crash and search for the man in a nearby wooded area caused southbound Route 28 to close to traffic between Old Ox Road and Frying Pan Road. According to police, one of the drivers involved in the crash had gotten out of his car and assaulted another driver involved in the impact. The suspect undressed, police said, and then jumped on a passing vehicle driving on Route 28. The suspect caused damage to that vehicle, got off it and ran from the scene, police said. The man was later found on Dulles International Airport property and arrested Tuesday night. He was taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening. There aren’t any other reported injuries, police said. Police are still working to identify the suspect and charges are pending. A driver used his cellphone to capture footage of the suspect.

A golf course for ‘the people’ faces a presidential makeover

WASHINGTON (AP) — A pack of cyclists whisked by along the circuit at East Potomac Park while the golf course parking lot filled with luxury SUVs parked next to older, inexpensive economy cars, all with the Washington Monument in the background. The scene highlighted what residents say are the park's best features: its accessibility and affordability right in the nation's capital. The historic park, especially the golf course, has caught the eye of President Donald Trump, who wants to turn it into a world-class golf venue. It's part of his grand vision for Washington, D.C., where he has torn down storied structures, remade or renamed others and deployed the National Guard for more than a year. But some residents fear the planned changes to the golf course — where Trump has visited with a cabinet member, a well-known golf course architect and blueprints — risk altering the character of a place that has served Washingtonians of many stripes for more than a century. Turning the park into an upscale golf course will mean costlier fees and a loss of public space, residents worry.
