A video of the boy’s detention went viral, prompting the D.C. attorney general to make a rare statement after the alleged holdup.
By Peter Hermann Peter Hermann Reporter covering crime, specifically the D.C. police department Email Bio Follow April 5 at 7:17 PM D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine on Friday said an investigation found that a 10-year-old boy shown in a video that went viral after he was handcuffed by police and accused of robbing another youth near Union Station is innocent and that he will not be charged with a crime.
Information in juvenile court is protected by law, and the courts and Racine’s office rarely publicly discuss the cases. In a statement, the attorney general said he obtained a court order to discuss the boy’s case to ensure the public knew the child had been cleared.
