NEW: Nelson Reyes-Medrano is accused of crawling into bed with a 16yo Germantown, Md. girl as she napped. The 46yo proceeded to rape the teen at knifepoint, police say.

This is the fifth undocumented immigrant arrested on rape charges in Montgomery County, Md. in the last month.
MORE: Cops say Reyes-Medrano grew impatient and placed the knife against the victim’s neck. He then ripped off the 16yo girl’s clothing. What is alleged to have happened next is too troubling to publish...

The victim told detectives she was in pain during the entire assault.
MORE: Reyes-Medrano is married with 10 children (six are under the age of 18). For the last three years, he's worked at a bakery in Prince George's County, Md.

ICE says the accused rapist is a Salvadoran national living in the U.S. illegally. It's lodged a detainer against him.
MORE: MoCo Police recorded 314 rape cases in 2016. That's an average of 26/month.

MoCo does not collect data on criminal suspects' immigration status so it's very challenging to decipher what percentage of U.S. citizens, legal residents + undocumented immigrants commit crimes.
STORY: This all comes in the wake of MoCo Exec. Marc Elrich (D) all but severing ties with ICE. Elrich's legislative jockeying has energized many voters within his progressive-liberal base, but incensed scores of residents and members of law enforcement.

I'm a loyal Southwest Airlines customer. I've never experienced anything like today's meltdown.

•no email, text or call about my canceled flight
•1-800-IFLY-SWA has had a busy tone for 5+ hours
•the SWA app/website won't let me to modify my itinerary
•no answer to Twitter DM
I'm trying to fly from Chicago to BWI, DCA, or IAD.

•Amtrak's sold out
•rental cars are sold out
•Other airlines' one-way flights start at $519, and there is no guarantee Southwest would cover that cost

Delays and cancellations are inevitable but this is next-level disorder.
As of this morning, my cancelled flight itinerary (MDW -> BWI) has disappeared from the Southwest app.

And the 1-800-I-FLY-SWA reservation number continues to be disconnected. Every time I call, I get a busy signal or a recording that says the call can't be completed as dialed.

There is a significant police presence at the Chevy Chase, Md. home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

As of 12:15p, there were no protestors in his neighborhood.

Earlier this month, a man went to Kavanaugh's home with plans of killing the justice, prosecutors allege.
Hundreds of pro-abortion rights protesters are gathered in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.

"Fu** you, Kavanaugh! Fu** you Alito!" are among some of the chants.

One protestor's sign reads, "Separation between vagina & state."

Another reads, "Keep SCOTUS out of my uterus."
The crowd of pro-abortion rights protestors remain strong on this late Friday afternoon.

The protestors are visibly and audibly angry, but have not engaged in any physical violence.

Earlier today, President Biden called on Americans to remain peaceful and refrain from violence.

NEW: MoCo Police, Fire and the Bomb Squad have evacuated an apartment tower in Wheaton following the report of a suspicious package that may be an explosive.

The building is called Arrive Wheaton. Two floors were initially evacuated around 6a, but now all residents are outside.
Dozens of residents are waiting in the rain for an update from officials.

"Please keep in mind we have limited information as this is a developing story, we ask that you are patient during this time," apartment management said in an email to tenants titled "Urgent, Please Read!"
The fire department says Arrive Wheaton has 486 apartments. There is a Safeway, plus a beer and wine shop on the ground floor.

Police and fire are relocating residents to the Wheaton Rec Center and Library, located about .7 miles away.

NB Georgia Avenue is blocked in the area.

NEW: Montgomery County Police has suspended its first-ever civilian assistant police chief, sources tell me.

Executive Elrich appointed Carmen Facciolo last June. The council formally confirmed him.

A department spokeswoman said she could not comment about personnel matters.
In a department-wide email, Chief Marcus Jones wrote:

“Effective immediately, all duties and authority vested in the Chief of the Community Resources Bureau are vested in Captain Marc Erme. This will remain in place until further notice.”

Jones didn’t mention Facciolo by name.
“I’ve heard sparsely anything. So, I don’t know exactly what it is. I didn’t even know that they had put out a statement or done anything concrete... So, tomorrow I’ll get a full briefing on it and we’ll find out where they are and what they think is appropriate," Elrich told me.

NEW: The Giant located at 12051 Rockville Pike in Rockville, Md. is depleted of many produce items, chicken, some bottled water, and other staples.

A few signs in the salad section read:

“Important Info: Due to supply challenge, some bagged salads are unavailable at this time.”
Here is a short walking tour of the partially-barren produce department inside the Giant on Rockville Pike.

Today, I asked Giant what’s causing the food shortages and what it’s doing to restock shelves ASAP.

A spokesperson replied to my email declining to comment for the story.
The Harris Teeter located at 11845 Old Georgetown Road in North Bethesda, Md. has a similarly-depleted produce department.

Harris Teeter’s chicken and milk were also heavily picked over.

The North Carolina-based company did not respond to my email seeking information today.

NEW: Bethany Petrie and Theodore McKenzie tell me they’ve been caring for the two surviving Prince George’s County zebras for about a month 🦓

McKenzie is the groundskeeper on a large, wooded, private property. It backs to the farm that the zebras escaped from in late August.
MORE: The first photo shows McKenzie spreading hay at 3:49 p.m. Tuesday.

The second photo shows the two zebras chowing down a little more than two hours later.

“All of a sudden, I’m in the middle of trying to save zebras. I would never in a million years think I’d be here.”
MORE: McKenzie and Petrie recently started the ‘Save the Zebras Foundation.’

They also operate a website and a Facebook Page where they post photos and topical links almost daily.

“People are starting to donate,” McKenzie told me. “Get involved. Help me help the zebras.”
