District 2 is investigating a robbery that happened on March 9 in the 4100 block of Connecticut.
Shortly before midnight, officers were called to a home in the 4100 block of Connecticut and met a 66-year-old man who reported being robbed. The man told officers he invited his 26-year-old godson to his home around 10:20 p.m. so they could smoke marijuana. During the visit, the 66-year-old man said his 26-year-old godson proposed they perform oral sex on each other in exchange for him having the rest of the marijuana. However, the 66-year-old man said he just offered it to him instead. At that point, the 26-year-old snatched the bag of marijuana from the 66-year-old.
The 66-year-old man said he attempted to retrieve his firearm however the 26-year-old snatched the firearm from him and then pointed it at his head. The 26-year-old then fled from the residence with the 66-year-old’s firearm. The investigation is ongoing.
