Scrape, paint, repeat: D.C.'s never-ending war on graffiti and stickers

Washington Post5 days ago
In its war against graffiti, stickering and illegally posted signs, the District has found a resilient foe. As fast as the Department of Public Works crews remove the spray-painted tags and slapped-on stickers, more show up to replace them.
The city hasn't lost the fight, but it hasn't won it either. And there is no end in sight.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice likely facing suspension after pleading guilty to 2024 car crash felony charges: Sources

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges, including collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury in a Dallas County court on Thursday, Dallas County said in a release. The charges stem from Rice's role in a 2024 multi-vehicle car crash in which Rice crashed his Lamborghini, causing a chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles. With the issuance of the sentencing, Rice is now likely facing a multi-game suspension, league sources confirmed. Advertisement 'We have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter which remains under review,' the NFL said in a statement. As part of a plea agreement with the Dallas County District Attorney's Office, Rice was sentenced to five years of deferred probation and 30 days in jail as a condition of his probation. He was also required to pay restitution to all the victims for their out-of-pocket medical expenses prior to the plea, totaling $115,481.91, per the release. 'Last March, I was involved in a high-speed accident in Dallas. There have been a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages that my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole,' Rice's lawyer Royce West said in a statement on Rice's behalf in the release. 'I urge everyone to mind the speed limit, drive safe and drive smart. Last and certainly not least, I am profoundly sorry for the physical damages to person and property. I fully apologize for the harm I caused to innocent drivers and their families.' In a preliminary investigation into the crash, police determined that Rice's Lamborghini and former SMU teammate Theodore Knox's Corvette were racing at high speeds when Rice struck the median wall. Rice and Knox ran from the scene, while two other drivers involved in the crash were treated for minor injuries and two occupants of another vehicle were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. An arrest warrant was issued for Rice after the crash, and he turned himself in to police one day later. In addition to civil lawsuits filed by the other drivers involved, Rice was facing criminal charges of aggravated assault, collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury. Rice was not placed on the commissioner's exempt list after the crash, and Jeff Miller, NFL executive vice president of communications, public affairs and policy, said the league would await the outcome of the case proceedings. After playing in 16 games of his rookie season in 2023, Rice tore the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee in Week 4 last year, ending his season. The Chiefs drafted him in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice sentenced to 30 days in jail over Dallas high-speed crash

DALLAS (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail on Thursday after authorities said he and another driver traveling at high speeds in sports cars caused a chain-reaction crash involving multiple vehicles and causing injuries on a Dallas highway last year. The Dallas County District Attorney's Office said Rice pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury. Rice was driving a Lamborghini Urus SUV at 119 mph (191 kph) when he made 'multiple aggressive maneuvers around traffic' and struck other vehicles, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said that after the crash, Rice failed to check on the welfare of those in the other vehicles and fled on foot.
