violent pasts and prior criminal records. police investigating monday's fatal crash arrested kenneth clark mitchell jr. of clay terrace in northeast washington charging him with felony auto theft. police at that issued this wanted poster for the second suspect, offering a cash reward of up to $25,000 for kevon darnell neal of maryland. >> that figure is typically reserved for homicide suspects but the chief of police felt with the death of officer morris, was warranted in this case. >> investigators released the timeline of events leading up to the crash that killed 23-year-old police officer adrian morris and injured 24-year-old officer michael richer. it starts sunday night at this exxon station in beltsville. the suspects stole a 2005 gray acura tl which a customer left running.

monday afternoon the suspect was spotted at the shell station in laurel. police say the suspects attempted to steal from vehicles here. the manager alerted police. investigators say the suspect's vehicle cut directly across all lanes of traffic. citizens steered clear or applied their brakes to avoid colliding with the suspects. >> this causes a chain reaction or a reaction which causes our pursuing officer, who was traveling in the middle lanes of the beltway, to quickly change lanes to avoid striking another vehicle. when this maneuver is made, the officer loses control of this police cruiser and slides off the roadway. >> reporter: tonight the two suspects in this fatal crash each face felony auto theft charges. if convicted, they could be sentenced up to 15 years in

rape from missouri senate candidate todd akin. today they tried to return the focus to the economy. president obama was also on the stump talking about jobs. >> unemployment has been above 8% for 42 months, and the real unemployment rate is more like 15%. this is president obama's imaginary recovery. >> we've got more work to do. we've got more good teachers to hire. meanwhile congressman akin remains a distraction to the republican ticket. today he again refused to quit his senate run, despite calls to step aside from party leaders, including romney and ryan. and stay with news 4 for convention coverage. we'll have live team coverage from the republican national convention next week. y also have live coverage. democratic national convention in charlotte next month. in the meantime planners of the republican convention are keeping a close eye on the weather radar. and the development of that tropical storm isaac. thousands of delegates and

journalists will be converging on tampa next week and members of the host committee say they have a plan in place in the event of a major storm. they say safety is the first priority, even if it means halting the proceedings or moving them elsewhere. chief meteorologist doug kammerer in stormcenter 4 with more on that possibility. doug. >> yeah, we're watching this very closely. right now tropical storm isaac a fairly weatropical storm. it does not have its act together at all right now. this storm is making its way across the lesser antilles right now. once again 45-mile-an-hour winds but it is a fairly large storm. as we move toward the next couple of days, here's what's going to be happening. moving to the west at 22 miles an hour. coming very close to puerto rico but staying just to the south and then crossing over hispaniola. it is expected to become a hurricane, but once it crosses over hispaniola, it is expected to decrease in intensity but then the official track does

bring it back to hurricane status right around the state of florida on monday. that is monday around 2:00 with winds around 80 miles an hour. that's the official track from the hurricane center. once again, a lot of uncertainty there and we'll continue to update you on the latest from that. as far as our weather is concern, we have a few showers and thunderstorms, one of which right over manassas right now. could that affect the nationals game tonight like it did last night? we'll talk about that. plus more on isaac coming up in just a minute. >> all righty. hey, you'll soon me able to use a credit card to pain for your cab fare in all of the district taxis. for the next few months the city' 6,000 crabs will convert to a new meter system to allow easy credit card use. tom sherwood is here to tell us more about that. hey, tom. >> wendy, the new meters also keep track of how much cab drivers make and where they go. at a cab repair shop in northeast washington, workers are beginning to install new meters that better track cab

fares, fees, receipts and destinations. about sex,06,000 cabs by the en the year. mayor vincent gray got a demonstration of the new system that he says brings the city into the 21st century and is safer for everyone. >> because it will substantially reduce the extent to which this is a cash system and will protect not only the passengers, but even more so the drivers, who will be less vulnerable to being robbed by somebody who knows that they're carrying cash. >> some drivers like the modern system they're being required to use, but others complained to the mayor who stood his ground. >> my thing is, you know -- >> we have been very solution oriented. we've done more with the taxicab industry than anybody has done in the history of this city. >> reporter: the mayor noted he raised cab fares, eliminated the cap and supported surcharges for gasoline. the city will pay the cost of

meter installation for the drivers. the city will also begin collecting a 50-cent surcharge for fare to help pay for the administrative cost of the city's taxi commission. the changes are desperately needed. half the cab rides are from out of towners. >> it's extremely important to us, as we compare against first tier cities around the world and around the country, this is something that's been missing. >> the city plans to use 12 different repair shops in the district to speed up installation of the new meters. wendy. >> thanks, tom. straight ahead tonight, an suv careens into a crowd waiting for fo for food. a woman tries to get a man to leave this apartment building this morning, and that, that cost her her life. i'm pat collins pt the story coming up. news 4. sobering numbers about how many teenagers are using drugs

but what choices will women be left with? just like mitt romney, paul ryan would get rid of planned parenthood funding. in congress, ryan voted to ban

all federal funding for planned parenthood and allow employers to deny women access to cancer screenings and birth control. and both romney and ryan backed proposals to outlaw abortion even in cases of rape and incest. for women... for president... the choice is ours. i'm barack obama, and i approve this message. as teenagers head back to school, you may be surprised at how many are carrying a little something extra in their back packs, drugs and alcohol. erica edwards has the details of a new survey from columbia university. >> reporter: they should be focusing on reading, writing and arithmetic. but too many teens are drinking and smoking marijuana during school hours. >> alcohol and drugs that are putting the high in high school, not advanced education. >> reporter: joseph and fellow researchers at columbia in new

york just released a survey of a thousand teenagers. nearly every single one of them, 97%, said they have classmates who drink alcohol, use drugs or smoke cigarettes often while school is in session, and it's not just cigarettes that are being smoked in the boys room. >> it's likely that the overwhelming proportion of conduct that the kids are talking about is drinking alcohol and smoking pot. >> reporter: over 40% of the surveyed kids said they know a classmate who sells drugs, mostly marijuana. 52% said there's a particular spot on or near campus where students know they can go to get high. >> it's easy to do this on school grounds or near school grounds without getting caught. >> reporter: the problem is not limited to public schools. more than half of private school teens said drugs are in their hallways too. a 50% increase from last year. erica edwards, nbc news. >> the survey also explored digital peer pressure.

that's when kids see photos of classmates drinking alcohol or doing drugs. 75% of them say these encourage their peers to do the same thick. >> we're on a good roll, can you keep it going? >> some areas seeing heavy rain right now. most of us are seeing some fantastic weather right now there's a close one to nats park. >> it seems to be attracting a lot of stuff up in the atmosphere. >> you can see one of those showers right now making its way in and across the district. there's one over towards northern virginia. temperaturewise right now we're at 85 degrees with the temperatures in the 80s for the most part. here's where the showers are. once again, most of us high and dry right now, but quite a few showers out there towards the blue ridge. a few heavier showers prince william county and fairfax county. back in towards clark and page

county, we do have a couple of showers here, also around culpeper, but these are the one that say will affect most of us. in and around manassas, just to the north and west of manassas, right along 66, a fairly heavy downpour here. here's the one that's right over annandale, alexandria and right over portions of the southeast around 495. so again just a shower there but they are developing. take a look at this one, right along the beltway, north springfield, just across from braddock road, a fairly heavy shower here making its way off towards the east so watch out if you live along there or even 395 or the beltway. some shower activity continues and any of these showers will have fairly heavy downpours. so you cannot rule out a shower tonight over nats park, just to let you know. now, tropical satellite showing that system. this is tropical storm isaac making its way across the lesser antilles. not a whole lot going on but we

are watching the storm making its way off toward the west at a fairly good clip. 22 miles an hour. that's how fast it's moving. it is expected to move just south of puerto rico here. it will still bring puerto rico a lot of rain and the potential for some wind but nothing too big, i don't think, especially not to most of the island. but here's the critical point. it's supposed to make landfall as a category 1 hurricane along hispaniola. they had mountains upwards of 10,000 feet. that is going to impact this storm tremendously, especially if it goes over land. if it does, it will weaken at this point and that's good news for us here in the americas. it also crosses eastern cuba which also has fairly high mountains. if it interacts with both of these systems it could have a very hard time making it as a hurricane over towards portions of florida. but still potential low a strong storm. you can see the latest track from the national hurricane centering. it actually brings it close to tampa with winds around 80 miles an hour. a weak hurricane but still a

hurricane. we're going to watch this close. a cone of uncertainty well to the north and the south of that region. partly cloudy, a shower possible this evening. very nice, though, for most of us. temperature 76 to 81 degrees. as we move on through the next couple of days, beautiful weather. 87 tomorrow, 88 on friday, 88 on saturday and 87 on sunday. can't rule out a shower on saturday but that's really about it. most of us are just going to see some fantastic weather right on through the next couple of days. >> thank you, doug. till to come on news 4 at 5:00 tonight, much more robber strikes in northern virginia with hot coffee as his weapon of choice. plus ll cool jay becomes an action hero. what he did to an intruder that he found in his house. and in sports next, dan sits down for a one-on-one interview with nats rookie bryce harper. stick around for news 4 at 6:00, it's chuck brown day. we are finally getting a look at the special park that will be dedicated to the godfather of de[ male announcer ] you paid in to medicare for years.

veteran guys and see how they approach everything. really try to learn from everybody inside the clubhouse every day. >> is there a guy you lean on more? >> probably werth. i think he really helps me out. he's been around the game for a long, long time. having him out in the outfield with me and having him in the dugout talking to me about base running and hitting, just a lot of things. you can learn a lot of things from him appear i do every single day. >> just because you came in around the same time, the mike trout comparisons are inevitable. is that okay with you? does it bother with you at all? >> trout is an amazing ballplayer and plays the game the right way every single day. he's an mvp caliber player and he's a fun guy to watch. he's successful in what he's doing right now. so he's pretty impressive to watch. >> do you know the last time that this town hosted a major league baseball playoff game was? >> i have no idea. no clue. >> 1933.

1933, and you have the chance to be a part of that in your rookie season. have you even allowed yourself to think about that? >> that's the only thing i'm worrying about. trying to win games every single day. as long as we're in first place and keep things rolling, that's all that matters to me. everybody gets so caught up in the numbers and what i did this game or that game, you know, i just really think everybody needs to look at our team and see that this team is unbelievable. it's a lot of fun to watch. everybody in this town and this city is really excited for this club. an i think the whole baseball world and everybody that knows about baseball is excited for this club. >> you may need to come out with a quote book. i know that's a clown question is really hold but you have a new one at the kids camp where you tell them to be as sexy as you can be and that was caught on camera. where did that come about? >> you know, i just think when you're going out and swinging, you don't want to be as tense and play the game so uptight and things like that.

just try to be as flawless as you can. try to be as loose as you can. when you're loose and flawless, you're sexy, so there you go. >> a new quote for you. >> you know what, i think it really applies to every aspect of life. broadcasting, if you're a lawyer. maybe not for doctors. you don't want to worry about being sexy if you're a surgeon. >> and you don't want to be a clown if you're a surgeon either, right? >> true. think about it. he just says be loose, be sexy at the plate. guys get so tensed up there an they're worried about going opposite field or hitting it here or there. so it makes a lot of sense, just 19 years old. >> it's profound. >> he's wise beyond his years. >> thank you, dan. coming up, prince harry -- >> be sexy. >> hey, i'm trying as hard as i can. prince harry in trouble again. nude pictures of him are being splashed all over the internet. >> and they saw the people pibed by the car. plus a chaotic scene in d.c. four people hit when an suv while waiting in line for food. a jewel thief hits

dangerous. richard? >> reporter: wendy, the posted speed limit out here is 45 miles per hour, but some long-time residents say that's rarely followed. yesterday's crash was just up the street. investigators have not said for certain that speed was the factor. it appears that driver suffered from a medical emergency. but still it has triggered a call for action. >> it's a really narrow street. >> reporter: gum spring road, the narrow street has seen its share of accidents. the latest, tuesday. sheriff's investigators say the driver, operating this truck, suffered a medical condition and lost control. the vehicle flipped, crashing into a tree and bringing down a utility poll. >> we know something happened but woe didn't know what happened at all. but crash, that's crazy. >> reporter: the investigators say the driver was not at fault, but the accident is stirring up street concerns here. the road has a narrow single lane in each direction and curves that often create a blind

sight for drivers. that can lead to dangerous driving and in the past has proven deadly. last year surveillance video captured a fatal crash at the same spot where the other driver veered off the road. >> we've been here for about four years now. in the past four years, we've been witness to at least four to five deadly accidents on this road. >> reporter: now the rural community is expanding. new developments are popping up quickly. patty just moved in, but she said she didn't know about the past problems. >> no, i had no idea. not until right now. >> reporter: the latest accident is not blamed on the street but those who live off the winding road believe something should be done to prevent other close calls. >> it's a continuous thing. as long as the signs are not up and the road is not being policed, this is going to continue to happen time after time after time. >> reporter: the driver in yesterday's crash is listed in stable condition at a nova fairfax hospital. but witnesses who saw him just

after the accident say he is lucky to be alive. recording live, richard jordan, news 4. storm team 4 chief meteorologist doug kammerer has another check on our forecast. any storms out there? >> i'll let you take a look at the picture. what do you think, wemdy? that's what's happening down right around the airport, over towards southeast. we are in a monsoon going on. some very heavy downpours coming through parts of the region. the current temperature right now 81 degrees. rain-cooled 81 grows with that rain falling. again, some areas seeing moderate to heavy downpours. second day in a row we've seen rain over the downtown region. it's just to the southeast right over the capital. just the scattering of showers here. we've got some back to the west an right across portions of virginia. here's jefferson county, west virginia. you can see some of the stronger showers right there in through clark county just to the east of
