Police release images of suspect accused of vandalism at Chevy Chase businesses
Lexington police have released images of a man who they say was involved in vandalism at several businesses in Chevy Chase this week.
Police said the vandalism occurred between midnight and 1 a.m. Monday. Earlier this week, they asked businesses in the area to check their surveillance footage.
In images released by police Friday, a man appears to be picking up a table outside The Beer Trappe, which is on Euclid Avenue.
The Beer Trappe said in a Facebook post about the incident that a man “not only destroyed our front window but also damaged property at Chevy Chase Inn, Bear & The Butcher and Oram Flowers on Sunday night.”
Chevy Chase Inn also reported the damage, posting on its Facebook page: ”Lexington, we apologize that Chevy Chase Inn is not open in the middle of the night. With that being said, we appreciate anyone who loves their favorite dive bar so much that they would throw a table through the window because a night in CCI is truly that much fun!!!
“Unfortunately, this is a special window making it extremely expensive to replace. Want to help out Lexington’s oldest bar? Come have a drink and a laugh with us this week!”
