The D.C. police department's Internal Affairs section is investigating an incident where a transgender woman was arrested last week for spraying an off-duty D.C. police officer with chemical repellent despite asserting that she was defending herself from a bias-related assault by the officer. The Washington Blade intricately documents the incident that occurred in the early morning hours of December 1 on the 1500 block of K Street, NW. According to police reports, Chloe Alexander Moore was arrested for an unprovoked assault on off-duty Officer Raphael Radon following a conversation. Radon documents in the report that Moore approached him for a cigarette lighter, then stated, "we have everything better than where you're going for $10." When refused, Moore then sprayed Radon in the eyes and fled after Radon displayed his MPD badge.
