CAPITOL HILL CRIME
POLICE HUNT EASTERN MARKET ASSAILANT
By Tommy Woodward
Peter Sloan is an American hero.
Pete served his country in the U.S. Air Force, teaching all pilots how to fly at Undergraduate Pilot Training, getting them their wings to fly airlift, medevac, reconnaissance, attack and fighter missions.
He also is the founder of Archangel Airborne, a scrappy nonprofit that delivers supplies, medicine and vital supplies to the impoverished parish in Cap-Haitien, Haiti, Notre Dame d’Altagrace, the twin of St. Peter’s on Capitol Hill.
But this week, Peter was the victim of a senseless, brutal attack near Eastern Market in broad daylight.
Because Peter recently contracted Covid, he went to pick up some medicine at the CVS Pharmacy at 7th Street at Pennsylvania Avenue SE at 1 p.m. on Tuesday,
The trouble began when Peter encountered a man urinating on the CVS Pharmacy as he was walking in. He called out to the man, who responded angrily.
Thirty minutes later, after picking up his medicine, Peter exited the pharmacy. The man he had exchanged words with earlier leapt out of a black pickup truck and came at Peter with a roundhouse punch.
A police report says Peter “exited the store to walk northbound on 7th St. SE across Pennsylvania Ave. [The assailant] approached him and punched him with a closed fist.”
Peter’s jaw was broken in two places and his septum bone also was fractured. Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday.
The black pickup was made in the 2010s, American make, either GMC or Dodge, with tinted windows. Peter got the license number —DC plates, JF5020. But the tags appear to be linked to a Toyota Sienna, so they likely were stolen.
Since 2007, Peter has worked in Haiti in support of the Catholic Church's parish twinning program with Notre Dame D'Altagrace in the Fort San Michel slum of Cap-Haïtien.
Peter started flying when he was 12 years old, and has flown to Haiti more than two dozen times in his Piper turboprop. (You can support Archangel Airborne and learn more by clicking here http://www.archangelairborne.org/Site/Donate/)
