A young couple claimed they were being harassed by the wife of a Supreme Court justice.
The officer on the line responded that there was little the police could do: Yelling was not a crime.
The couple placed the call after a series of encounters with Martha-Ann Alito, wife of Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., that had gone from uneasy to ugly.
The clash between the wife of a conservative Supreme Court justice and the couple, who were in their 30s, liberal and proud of it, played out over months on a bucolic block in Alexandria.
But three years later, that neighborhood spat — which both sides said began over an anti-Trump sign — has taken on far greater proportions.
