Since 2012 in so many different sections of the capitol grounds, in another case weeks ago Capitol Police seized a stolen gun from a person suspected of driving drunk on the grounds. Another gun seized at the library of congress, one from a person carrying it in plain sight near the capitol visitors center. Capitol police tell us these seizures are the byproduct of their police work. 1700plus officers in the agency. But our investigation is raising a question, do Capitol Police have enough money . A u. S. Senate report last month said the Police Agency has been under significant budget constraints. Sequestration which chopped departments forced the department to close some public entrances. They are probably stretched thin because of the sequester, one of the first places you begin is with the police who guard not me sitting here in the capitol but millions of our constituents who come here every single day. Reporter and the Capitol Police Officers Union tells us quote, the officers are absolutely prepared and focused to handle any gun incident we encounter. But in the future, things could get complicated with staffing. 400 officers are eligible to retire, and should 25 of them decide to leave tomorrow, the department would be grossly under understaffed.

And he defended the iran deal that has angered so many of his opponents. Steve handelsman is live on capitol hill. Steve . Reporter hi wendy. This sounds super partisan and it is. But heres an irony. Mr. Obama is backing a trade deal thats favored by republicans, even as he fights them on iran. Italian Prime Minister congratulated president obama for nearing a nuclear deal with iran. But mr. Obama warned if Congress Passes tougher sanctions now a deal could be derailed and sanctions enforced now might fall apart. If it is perceived that we walked away from a fair deal that gives us assurances iran doesnt get a nuclear weapon, then those International Sanctions will fray. Reporter jeb bush today like many republicans is arguing that more pressure on iran means a better deal. We should have allowed the sanctions to take hold deeper and deeper rnchtsz on asian trade, many republicans favor a new pacific fast track agreement. The president said it would help our economy. This is absolutely good for not just american businesses but for american workers. Reporter but unions are campaigning against the deal. Not only wont it create jobs here, but well end up with lower wages, more income inequality and fewer jobs. Thank you everyone.

Ronald anderson is now facing four new charges, including kidnapping and murder. Charging documents revealed that anderson was chasing a car occupied by his exgirlfriend and another person. The driver of that car decided to go to the Census Bureau because they knew there would be armed guards. But when anderson got there he fired at the guards, one of them Lawrence Buckner was hit inside once in the chest and died. Anderson then drove off and later got into a shootout with officers in the district. He faces life in prison for the three if convicted. At the live desk jim handly. And a Fairfax County Police Officer resigned toda was released on bond on child pornography charges. Bud walker walked out of jail late this morning after he posted a 15,000 bond and he cannot use a computer or have unsupervised contact with children. Walker was a Public Information officer when this investigation began. A Montgomery County karate teacher is facing child pornography charges. Were learning more about how police were able to track him down. Derrick ward is outside the studio where the man taught martial arts. Reporter you know, this is a troubling case in a lot of respects. Troubleing and complex. It started in another part of the country came here through chevy chase and could develop in another part of the world. Montgomery county Police Believe this plan, 26yearold alexander psalm because soumbadze is a man on the run. He taught martial arts here and is now facing eight counts of possessing child pornography. Police were put on his trail by investigators a thousand mile as way. A Law Enforcement agency in south dakota informed our detectives, they were conducting an investigation and believed that this individual was located in Montgomery County. Reporter investigators here using internet tracking technique honed in on this home in bethesda. Property records show it belonging to a georgian diplomatic official also where soumbadze lived. They searched the home and talked to the suspect. He did admit to trading child pornography. At that time there was not enough probable cause to issue the warrant for his arrest. Reporter they couldnt search the electronic devices. In the interim just a matter of days they believe soumbadze a citizen of georgia, left this country. We do believe that he may possibly have fled to georgia. Reporter by then, the case got more troubling. Was what was on those devices but couldnt search. We seized videos, eight of them, of unidentified males we believe them to be of adolescent possibly young adults. We dont know who they are. They were engaging in inappropriate touching by the suspect as well as sexual acts. Reporter they determined that some of the video was shot at the martial arts school. They dont know who the add less ebts and young men with soumbadze are. They want to talk to them. It does appear that they knew they were being videotaped but, again, if they were under the age of 18 that suspect is producing child pornography by videotaping the acts. Reporter they also say there could be other whoz werent on video. They want to talk to them as well. There is an extradition agreement between the u. S. And georgia. Now, to make that extradition agreement useable in this case they have to make sure there was a crime that warrants it. Thats why they are so desperately interested in talking to people in the videos and perhaps some who werent videotaped. Back to you. Big weekend for politics.

First 4 traffic reporter Melissa Mollet opens up the history books in this edition of meet your street as she tracks down the origin of livingston road. Reporter on my meet your streets adventures, there is a road ive been asked about again and again. Were headed to the Prince Georges County library for a lesson on livingston road. This one took a little digging. Reporter its history has been hard to figure out. You have to search auflt small presses. Reporter meet colleen foreign fornby, library here in the maryland room.

Reporter the perfect person to help us uncover more about the mysterious livingston road. Its now speckled with homes and businesses, the road originated in washington, that area called stantontown with sections running through prince georges and into Charles County. It was once a main highway between washington and indian indianhead. Went back, did more research, and this time i found, while not primary source documentation, its enough information to pretty much say this is why it was named livingston road. Reporter as the suspense bill builds, we ask around. I should know what its named for, but i dont. Maybe someone from history, a male perhaps . Reporter it seems all the segments of livingston road built bit by bit over the road were named for one family. The beginning of livingston road in the d. C. Area starts near what was a very large estate at the time of a family named livingston. Reporter take a look at the 1878 atlas the road just next to the estate of ann c. Livingston. I didnt do a lot of digging on her. Reporter an old census showed livingston lived there with her husband and four children. She had 10,000 worth of real estate in 1870, and i believe 500 worth of personal money. Reporter she was from washington widowed just a few years later, livingston moved to maryland. It puts life into history because it becomes personal all of a sudden. Reporter years later powder mill road was born, its current route winds from 197 to New Hampshire avenue, one our librarian says she gets questions about every now and then throughout the 1800s, it was home to gun powder mills.

No injuries. Do you feel good about your job . So i could be a college dpropout and do the same thing . Were getting reaction tonight to those comments by espn reporter britt mcmenry. Shes based in d. C. And her vehicle had just been towed in arlington. Mchenry said she allowed her emotions to get the best of her and said insulting and regrettable things. Espn suspended her for a week, but advanced towing, the company that picked up her vehicle, released a statement about mchenrys confrontation saying, neither the company nor the clerk have any interest in seeing her suspended. Quote, ms. Mchenry is our neighbor, and as she said to paraphrase, made remarks that are out of line. She is human and errors in judgment can be made in the heat of the moment. Britt mchenry is not the first driver to express anger about advanced towings practices. Our Northern Virginia bureau chief julie carey looked into the number of official complaints. Reporter Carlos Martinez and his son had a very expensive lunch today 135, the bill they paid to the towing company that hauled their van away after they parked to go to this Boston Market to eat. He said he parked in this lot but when he realized he was short on cash went across the street to the bank of america. That took lets say seven minutes . Okay, lets say ten minutes. Reporter when he returned, his van was gone. Now he accuses advanced towing of predatory practices. They are like thieves waiting that we leave the car and immediately they steal our cars. And of course we have to pay like a reward to get our cars back. Reporter advanced towing is a company weve reported on several times in recent months. In december this woman called us to complain when her vehicle was towed with her dog inside. Earlier this month this dad was outraged when he was inside a cvs and a tow truck driver hooked his car with two kids inside. The kids yelled and the driver unhooked and took off. When i started crying, he said he came to the door and said, im sorry for freaking you out. Reporter the news4 iteam gathered at that stisstatistics. Arlington county Police Investigate towing complaints. Their records show from 2012 to 2014 advanced towing was the target of 155 complaints. Thats far more than any of the other companies that do business in arlington. In fact, more than all the others combined. Police determined advanced towing committed 15 violations in that time. Now Carlos Martinez plans to let police know what happened in his case. I emailed advanced towings owner for comment and checked for him inside the trailer but i havent heard anything back eflt told me earlier this month that anytime somebody parks in a lot and goes offsite to do business like Carlos Martinez did today they kb towed away.
