Youth facility uprising leaves jurisdictional mess

Authorities have identified a 20-year-old suspect in an uprising at D.C.’s juvenile detention center but are not sure who should — or how to — prosecute the case, The Washington Examiner has learned.

Veteran youth agency guard Julius Layton was hospitalized after the violence at New Beginnings center in Laurel. The 20-year-old suspected of leading a pack of up to 12 juvenile offenders in the disturbance remains at the center, but law enforcement agencies were uncertain which agency has jurisdiction to charge him.
