Hmmm... I worked in Northwest DC last year and got off at the Tenleytown station, walked the mile and a quarter to Connecticut Ave. Seemed to me like a pretty upscale neighborhood.
Still doesn't excuse a bratty kid with an attitude problem, sitting in a police station prolly did her some good. Scott A. Stewart, Web Application Developer Engineering Consulting Services, Ltd.

And I do think that the fact that this all happened at Tenleytown speaks volumes as to causation and probable scenario -- yes, could very well be as you describe.
