Customer reports armed robbery at Omega bar
A 39-year-old D.C. man reported being robbed by a male suspect with a handgun in the bathroom at the
Dupont Circle gay bar Omega on Jan. 3, according to a police report, which says the victim was not injured.
The report, prepared by Second District police officers, says the incident took place about 8:45 p.m. after
the victim reported playing pool at the bar with three people now listed as suspects in the case. The report says
a witness told police the victim joined the three men at the bar and bought them drinks shortly after playing
pool with them.
“C1 [Complainant 1] went to the men’s restroom, at which time S1 [Suspect 1] entered into the men’s rest-
room, approached C1 from behind, and held a dark colored handgun to the right of C1’s waistband,” the police
report says. “S1 then stated, ‘give it up,’ at which time C1 gave S1 his wallet containing the above listed items,”
the report says.
According to the report, the victim, who asked the Blade not to disclose his name, told police the suspect
took at least $400 in cash, a North Face jacket worth $450, his Maryland driver’s license, and his cell phone.
The victim told the Blade in a phone interview that the suspect also took his iPod.
Omega manager Perry Morehouse said the bar is cooperating fully in the investigation into the incident and
has offered to provide police with a security surveillance video that shows the suspects and the victim inside
the bar. Morehouse said that as of Wednesday morning, police had not come to the bar to pick up a disc with
a copy of the video surveillance that the bar made for them.
Assistant Police Chief Peter Newsham told the Blade in an e-mail that Second District detectives made
several “unsuccessful” attempts to obtain the video. But Morehouse said employees are present in the bar
from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day and no one from the police department came to obtain the video as of early
Wednesday.
The police report describes suspect one as a black male between 25 and 30 years old, about 5 feet, 10
inches tall, weighing between 150 and 170 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair in a pony tail, having a
dark complexion and medium build and wearing a black jacket and blue pants. Suspect two is described as a
black male about 25 years old, about 6 feet tall, weighing about 165 pounds, with brown eyes and long black
hair, having a medium build and wearing a gray jacket and gray pants.
Suspect three is described in the report as being of “unknown” race and gender, appearing between 25 and
30 years old, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 195 to 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, having
a dark complexion and having a “heavy/fat/stocky” build. The suspect wore a black jacket and blue pants, the
report says. The victim told the Blade the third suspect was a drag queen.

ARTSINBRIEF
Phillips Collection reopens after serious fire
After its disastrous fire Sept. 2, this weekend is the welcome-back celebration/
grand reopening of the newly renovated Phillips House, a museum since Duncan
Phillips opened its doors in 1921 as America’s first museum of modern art. It’s full
of his collection of works by Renoir and Monet, van Gogh and Degas, Picasso and
Klee, and more.
The fire was restricted to the roof and a suite of offices directly under it, and the
famed art was not harmed, but there was extensive water damage to 12 galleries
inside the 1897 building, at 1600 21st St. N.W., in Dupont Circle near 21st and Q.
Now everything is back in place as the museum kicks off its 90th anniversary year
under the banner of “90 Years of New,” beginning with this weekend’s reopening when
the regular $12 admission charges are waived and complimentary champagne will be
uncorked. The museum is open Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from
11 a.m. to 6 p.m. A host of programs, installations, films and more are promised.
The year’s celebration culminates on Nov. 5 with the 90th-anniversary “birthday
bash.” More details at phillipscollection.org.

thyism, according to Blake Cornish, who plays Henry Drummond, the character
loosely based on civil liberties lawyer Clarence Darrow who battled but lost in the
Tennessee courtroom against three-time presidential candidate and religious fun-
damentalist William Jennings Bryan.
Cornish, who has sung with the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington and is a former
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force attorney, says the play is relevant in 2011 be-
cause it “explores issues around the relationship between religious teachings and
secular law, and pertains to LGBT equality in lots of different ways, when people use
religious beliefs in ways that many in gay community would find to justify bigotry.”
