officers. she was to appear in court this afternoon to answer to that charge but the judge says she was so uncooperative it would have required force to get her from u.s. marshals' custody into her chair in the courtroom, so the hearing went on without her. tunisia davis' chair was empty as attorneys argued over whether she needed a mental health evaluation. the judge ordered the evaluation be done likely in a day or two, but in her absence there were no questions asked or answered about the allegations against davis. a cia investigator says davis drove last thursday to the entrance of the nsa in maryland was turned away then tried to enter the front gate of the cia. court records say an officer had to physically stand in front of her car before she was stopped. they say davis reached towards an officer's gun belt soon thereafter and later threatened to shoot cia police. her facebook page includes many videos she recorded of herself. in some of them she's deeply critical of the federal government and sometimes she's

vulgar. the page was taken down shortly after news 4 broke this story last night. at her alexandria apartment, no answers at the door nor family seen in court today. but her friends tell news 4 davis seemed eager to challenge police. >> she tried to be in the position what's going to happen is she going to get arrested? will she get the same scenario as giet in baltimore? >> reporter: you think she tried to get arrested? >> yes. >> reporter: it will be a misdemeanor case inisia davis. she was a special agent from 2004 to 2010. tonight at 6:00 the surprising decision friends say davis made just a few weeks ago, before her arrest. again, that part of the story tonight at 6:00. for now, live in alexandria i'm scott mcfarland. back to you. >> thank you, scott. a d.c. police officer who's accused of sexually assaulting two teenage girls is now charged

>> that's right, wenldsdy. we have gotten so many viewer e-mails. we know how frustrated you are trying to find someone to help you with what many of you say is a sour deal. before you pay for help let us give you a free option. >> i bought this in february of 2013. >> new? >> yes. >> reporter: vince marshall once enjoyed driving his car. >> this was comfortable. i liked it and that's why i bought it. >> reporter: but he says repeated repairs on a leak -- >> water has leaked in through the driver's side front frustrated him to no end. >> how many times have you been to the dealership? >> oh my gosh at least a half a dozen times with this. >> reporter: his car under warranty has been repaired at no charge by the dealership but he says the process has left a sour taste in his mouth. >> i think this car was a lemon from the start. >> reporter: your owner's manual indicates turning to the better business bureau for help. while it's not the only

solution it is the free solution. i sat down with derrick sweetman of the bbb to understand how this works. >> it's a free program to consumers because it's an opportunity to resolve the situation in aess heightened environment. you're not arguing in court, you're not hiring a lawyer. >> reporter: every state defines a lemon differently. you can find the definition for your area on the consumer watch facebook page. when you notify the bbb, it contacts the manufacturer tries to get it settled in one call. >> we're talking to somebody who actually has the power to address the situation. if that process is ineffective, then you move to a formal arbitration. an arbitration is an informal setting that is like court but without the objections or without -- even without the dressing up sometimes. >> reporter: raaccording to the bbb, more that you known 170 were eligible. nearly 60 went to arbitration.

out of those cases, 39% of the vehicles were replaced or repurchased. 15% were repaired and more than 42% got nothing. >> so the goal is to make the vehicle operable. if it can't be then to get you another one. or to have it repurchased. it's not a way to replace a car that you don't like. >> none of this has cost you anything out of your own pocketbook but it's cost you time. >> time and frustration. >> reporter: marshall says he's already filed a complaint with the manufacturer and now he's going to the bbb. at his wit's end, marshall tells me that he wound up selling his car, but you don't have to let the frustration consume you. once a complaint is filed, the bbb says it can usually have a solution in just 40 days. jim and wendy, back to you. >> all right, thank you. developing right now in bethesda teachers parents and students are rallying to get millions of dollars in education funding. they're outside walter johnson high school here.

i'm erika gonzalez at the live desk. one of the police officers charged in the death of freddie gray says the knife that led to his arrest was an illegal weapon and today he filed a motion asking police and prosecutors to produce it. the motion was filed by lawyers forredward nero seen in the top right here.

he's charged with assault, misconduct and false imprisonment. now remember in announcing those charges last friday prosecutor marilyn mosby said the knife was legal under maryland law and that meant officers had illegally arrested gray. nero's motion says that under stricter rules in place in baltimore, the knife is illegal and officers were right to detain him. from the live desk i'm erika gonzalez. a fiery rescue for a fairfax county police officer who pulled a driver from a flaming car. tonight that officer is cleared for duty as he recovers from his burns. northern virginia bureau chief julie carey joins us from the area of the beltway where this incident took place. jules. >> reporter: it happened just a little ways back there on the outer loop of the beltway near i-66. the officer responded to a report of vehicle struck but what happened next nobody could have predicted. this was the scene officer ramirez drove up on friday april 24th.

a camry in flames after striking two other vehicles and the jersey wall. ramirez tells me he was greeted with good news initially. everyone was out of the their cars and seemed okay. then suddenly the man who had driven that camry, jumped back in and locked the doors. >> that's when i mae the decision to break out the driver's side window. upon doing that the flames started coming out of the driver's side window so i wasn't going to be able to make my approach that way. >> reporter: ramirez didn't give up. you see, he was a long island firefighter before he became a fairfax county police officer. he broke out another window still no luck. but then the man climbed out the broken window and just as quickly tried to get back in. >> that is when i grabbed him, not really thinking about it. i kind of just grabbed him as best as i could and again, his clothes were smoldering. you could tell he was still on fire. and as i pulled him, that's when i burned my hand.

but i was kind of determined not to let him go back in that vehicle. >> reporter: this smudge on the jersey wall marks the spot where the drama all played out. two other officers and a firefighter arrived to help and finally they subdued the man. he and ramirez were taken to the hospital to be treated for burns, but the officer's hand healed quickly. only a few tiny blisters visible today. >> i would do the same thing all over again. >> reporter: and ahead at 6:00 you'll hear the dispatch calls, how it all played out that night. back to you now. well now to a brazen afternoon robbery. police say the three men in these surveillance images went up to an open garage and stole two expensive road bikes this past sunday on grove street in chevy chase. that's just over the d.c. line. we're told the thieves took a silver trek 5000 and specialized tarmac bike. each are valued at $5,000. two people and their cats need to find somewhere to live after a fire destroyed their

interferes with an officer could be charged with assault. for example, someone could be charged with assault if they stiffen up while they're being handcuffed. she says she'll reach out to the police union and law enforcement for input on this bill. it was in the works before the unrest in baltimore. now to that breaking news we began the 5:00 hour with in the hannah graham case. the capital murder charge against jesse matthew. our david culver is in charlottesville outside the court house now. david? >> reporter: yeah jim. for folks who have our nbc washington app, you saw that push. as soon as that news broke about 30 minutes ago. this is an additional charge capital murder during an abduction. i asked the prosecutor as she came out just a short time ago does that mean they'll seek the death penalty? she said yes. if this goes to trial, they will seek the death penalty against jesse matthew. i mentioned this is an additional charge. that means the first-degree murder and the abduction with intent to defile charges, those

still hold. i want to tell you what the commonwealth's attorney had to say about that additional charge. >> the commonwealth received some additional forensic information in late february that led to this increased charge but it does provide the opportunity for the possibility of a capital verdict and capital punishment in this matter. >> reporter: this is a case that we have covered from the beginning. it dates back to september of last year. it has been eight months of agony for john and sue graham of fairfax county. their daughter hannah graham a second year here at the university of virginia. the center point in this case. now, from here it's going to continue on to june. that's when the case has been continued. they will meet again to discuss some further dates and then set a trial date. we should also mention this is a case that also continues in fairfax county with a separate investigation that has to do with a sex assault from 2005. we'll bring you more information
