Bull head statue returns to Halcyon House

That was the big scoop from tonight’s Advisory Neighborhood Commission meeting. Metropolitan Police Department Sergeant Hackley said during the crime report that the bull’s head, which was stolen a little over a week ago from Halcyon House on Prospect St., had made its way back to the House and owner John Dreyfuss. The statue’s valued at $25,000.
No word yet on the identity of the Brazen Bull Bandits or what punishment they might face, but Commissioner Bill Starrels said that as soon as he heard about the theft he got in touch with Georgetown’s Ray Danieli and set up a meeting between Dreyfuss, school officials, and MPD, so it looks the Bandits are students.

I’m looking into it, and hopefully talking with the detective on the case tomorrow. I’ve heard crew team and the bfrat too, but I’ve also heard pretty much any group that has an initiation. I’ll definitely keep posting as things are revealed.
