SILVER SPRING STABBING SUSPECT TO VICTIM: " YOU ARE GOING TO DIE TONIGHT! "

Montgomery County Police detectives are turning up the heat on the still-at-large suspect in the September 29 attempted robbery and stabbing at the Forest Park Apartments. They plan to hand out flyers with the suspect's description around the Piney Branch Road apartment complex this afternoon around 4:00 PM. That description is more detailed than the previous one.

Police say the suspect approached the female victim early that evening (police responded at 7:46 PM) and demanded money. When she failed to comply, he said, "then you are going to die tonight." After knocking the woman to the ground, he stabbed her several times with a knife. A passerby called police. The victim survived and has been discharged from the hospital.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, 17-19 years old, 120 pounds, thin build, medium height, black hair, with a black and white pattern bandana covering the lower part of his face, and wearing a blue shirt, “skinny” blue jeans, an unknown color baseball cap, and a black belt.

Anyone who has information about this suspect or the attempted armed robbery is asked to call the 3rd District Investigative Section at 240-773-6870, or the police non-emergency number at 301-279-8000.  Those who wish to remain anonymous may call the tip line at 240-773-TIPS (8477).

SHEETZ PUMPKIN PIE LATTE REVIEW (VIDEO)

The Halloween Countdown continues on the Robert Dyer Channel. Pumpkin Spice Lattes are a dime-a-dozen these fall days (except for McDonald's odd decision to not bring theirs back this year), but I stumbled across an alternative to the ubiquitous beverage while on the road this weekend.

Sheetz has a different concept - a Pumpkin Pie Latte, rather than Pumpkin Spice. The ordering process is unique as well at Sheetz. The convenience store and mega gas station eliminates the need to use Starbucks lingo at the counter (and the often misspelled name on your cup) by letting you place the order on a touchscreen. Pick exactly what you want added to your coffee on the screen (including an extra shot of pumpkin pie flavor or an espresso shot), pay at the cashier counter, and wait for your number to be called to pick up your Pumpkin Pie Latte.

Was it worth the (short) wait? Watch my review to find out. Sheetz is in several nearby states, including Maryland (of course), Virginia, West Virginia, and its home base of Pennsylvania.
