Police arrested several people during a free cannibis giveaway today on capitol hill. This happened as they were handing out joints to Congressional Staff members. Mark segraves shows you the arrests live on facebook this afternoon. Hes still on the hill with a look at what led to these arrests. Mark . Reporter good afternoon, wendy. The organizers thought they were safe here on this they researched it and thought this was a safe place to have this event. What started out as a peaceful protest quickly ended up with multiple arrests. Volunteers spent days rolling more than a thousand joints for todays giveaway. Organizers believed they were not breaking the law, because its legal to possess and giveaway marijuana in the district, but not on federal land. Organizers believe this corner across from the u. S. Capitol is local land. But soon after the giveaway began, u. S. Capitol police swept in and arrested two of the people handing out joints. I dont understand why im getting arrested. I believe i was within my rights. We were on d. C. Land. Im a medical marijuana patient. Reporter minutes later more volunteers started handing out more joints. Again, u. S. Capitol police made more arrests. Its my patriotic right to give away cannibis to the people. Reporter us he feared more people would be arrested. Even after the arrests, the staff took joints. So that shows people are not going to be easily deterred. Reporter minutes after that interview, he was also arrested. When you give away cannibis in the district of columbia, on a d. C. Sidewalk, its a hundred percent legal. Reporter despite about a thousand joints confiscated they were able to hand out free marijuana cigarettes to about 50 federal employees. Most of them wanted the joints but not to talk to reporters. Can we talk to you about the giveaway . No thank you, sir. Reporter while the Police Arrested the people who were giving away the joints, they did not arrest the people who were smoking the joints in front of Police Officers. This is an example of what happens when local laws conflict with federal laws. While this sidewalk government, if a federal Police Officer sees you breaking a federal law, theyre going to arrest you no matter where you are, and thats what happened today. Three of the people arrested today were charged with intent to distribute. The other four were charged with possession. Thats the latest, live on capitol hill. Mark segraves, news4. Thank you, mark. This is one of several propot events in the next few days. On saturday, there will be a festival outside rfk and on monday, activists are planning a smokein at the capital.

Passenger carol glover died. Dozens became sick when smoke filled the metro tunnel in 2015. Metros general manager is laying out a plan to make the rail service reliable and safe for you, but it comes at a cost. Over the next ten years, metro wants 15. 5 billion and they want dedicated funding to the tune of 500 million every year from d. C. , maryland, and virginia. News4s Meagan Fitzgerald is live, gotta ask where all that money is coming from. Reporter the short answer is the taxpayers. So whether it will be a sales tax or gas tax, thats up to the legislators. Metro realizes its a nothing to fix metro, it will only get worse. For months safe track has been used to fix troubled spots along the rail. But metros general manager says while its been helpful, its not ideal. We dont ever want to do a safe track again. Reporter the new focus is preventive maintenance, so the Transit System can avoid major problems. Thats why hes asking for 500 million annually from dmv taxpayers. That would put annual spending at 1. 5 billion over ten years. This is a tenyear plan, and the reality is, equipment, material, facilities, they wear out. And the amount of incidents, i think, will go down dramatically. Reporter weed feld is looking to cut internally as well. He said metro employees wouldnt receive the same benefit and pensions as workers do now. Im suggesting that we go to defined Contribution Program for new employees currently have. Reporter that proposal doesnt sit well with the workers union. They released a statement, saying, instead of offering real proposals to improve the system and win riders back, weed feld has, once again, pitted riders against workers in an attempt to balance the agents budget on the back of the hardworking employees. Weed feld said hell be Holding Meetings with metro workers starting next week, but insists that his proposal is the best way to move forward. Weve gotta get this right, the future of this region is dependent upon it, and we have to do what it takes to get there. Reporter and coming up at 6 00, well tell you about one proposal that would possibaffec than just metro riders and it will hopefully get them to the 500 million. Thanks, meagan.
