At approximately 9 p.m. on Sunday night, a vehicle drove through a security checkpoint at Joint Base Andrews. One person is in custody, while Security Forces are still searching for the second person.

According to an official statement on JBA’s Facebook, the intruders failed to adhere to commands of security personnel at the Main Gate. Security Forces then deployed the barriers and stopped the vehicle. Both people fled the vehicle, one was apprehended, and the other remains at large. The base confirms that the person in custody had a weapon, but no shots were fired.

Wonder where the other guy is? All those military around and a guy can get away?

[gundog]

Probably a drunk GI. Just disappear back into the population.

How many times did the guards shoot and missed the fleeing criminal?

If they’re controlled by Leftists then they either don’t have guns, or the guns that they have don’t have bullets.

No description of the perps usually means one thing.

Coulter’s Law applies.

Most likely the perps encountered a pop-up barrier—the last time some idiots went up against one, I believe it ended up barrier 3, perps 0.

Should have been shot.

Hard saying with a military press release.

I knew people that rushed the gate if asked to pull over, or eluded the SPs when drinking and driving.

Andrews, like many military bases these days, is smack dab in the middle of suburbia just east of D.C.

It's too easy to make a wrong turn and end up hitting one of the base gates with no way to turn around. Perps were probably illegally packing, gang bangers, and panicked when they hit the gate checkpoint.

“Hard saying with a military press release”

That’s why I’m thinking it was amish......with our brand new shiny woke military they’re not gonna say it was minorities.

[gundog]

Yup. Maybe giving a friend a ride back on base and didn’t expect to be pulled over. Mash it, toss the weed....buddy runs back to his barracks.

[gundog]

Perhaps. But no one really needs a description but law enforcement. BOLO Bravo Mike.....pretty useless description on a military base, or the surrounding area.

[Mr. Lucky]

Oh, the humanity.

**or eluded the SPs***

LOL! Reminds me of my days in the USAF when they were called the Air Police or APs. We called them Apes.
Then around 1969 the name was changed to SPs.

[V_TWIN]

From another article the onex they caught is 17 y/o so because he’s a minor they may never identify him. If the other is also....same same.

I recall the same thing as an Air Force dependent. "Air Police" never made any sense to me. Were they supposed to police the air?

Hard to chase someone in high heels.

"No description of the perps usually means one thing."

It probably means they weren't some variant of "white nationalists," or that would have been immediately emphasized.
