[Scan-DC] DC Overtuned Vehicle Dispatch

[Matt Stevens]

One of my favorite from about 3 weeks ago in Pasadena in Anne Arundel
County:

BEEP BEEP
3A1, 3C1 and 330 to Copy: Respond for the Priority 1 carjacking in
progress at RT 100 & Catherine Ave overpass.

3A1: 10-60. Slow Everyone Down, it is a subject changing a tire.
