On Dec. 30 at 6:40 p.m., an individual was delivering food items to a residence in the 5800 block of Washington Boulevard when the suspect opened the door, produced a box-cutter and demanded that the victim leave the items, police said.
The victim placed the items down, left the building and contacted police.
Officers obtained warrants for robbery and defrauding a restaurant. When officers attempted to serve the warrants on Jan. 2, the suspect barricaded himself inside the apartment before attempting to flee out of a second-story window.
The suspect – 36-year-old Alexander Nixon of Arlington – was served with the warrants and arrested, and was transported to a local hospital for treatment of injuries described as non-life-threatening.
