Gaithersburg, MD – A Montgomery County Department of Police officer is receiving medical care following an event that temporarily shut down a section of Potomac Tennis Lane at Falls Road in Bethesda on Monday, December 30, 2024.

The incident began on Sunday, December 29, when the officer’s supervisor noticed unusual behavior during their scheduled shift and raised concerns about the officer’s welfare. MCPD officers later made contact with the officer, who was in their patrol car near Falls Road and Potomac Tennis Lane.
