Worst snowstorm ever! The only consolation for me was that I was finally able to get to Chris’s Charcoal Pit in their new location, and I can report that they did not miss a beat while they were gone! Awesome Gyro, and let me go out on a limb here–the best fries in the County! And this is just a quick reminder in case you are not signed up. We have a daily news recap newsletter.

Anyhow, we have a whole lot of news to catch up on, so shall we?
The Anne Arundel County Police are investigating the first shooting death of the year. At about 6:00 pm, on January 7, 2024, the Anne Arundel County Police responded to the 1200 block of Hampton Road in the Cape St. Claire neighborhood. Details have not been released, but one victim, suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest, was declared dead at the scene. Check back at EyeOnAnnapolis.net a bit later for more information.
In a bizarre New Year’s incident, a 33-year-old Annapolis woman faces serious criminal charges after what may have been a night of revelry gone awry. On January 1st, the Annapolis Police were called to the Nautilus Point Apartments for a burglary. There, they discovered a 33-year-old woman, a resident of the complex, had broken into one unit, assaulted the resident, and caused damage to the apartment. Then broke into another one, got naked, and caused some more damage. To make matters worse, she bit and spat on an officer. So now she has three misdemeanor charges and a felony burglary charge to deal with. She was briefly held and then released on her own recognizance with a court date later this month.
Some sad news out of the U.S. Naval Academy. Midshipman First Class Mason Halsey, 22, of Gulfport, Mississippi, passed away during holiday leave in Mississippi. The circumstances surrounding his death are under investigation. Rear Adm. Fred Kacher, acting superintendent, expressed condolences on behalf of the Naval Academy community. Halsey was a political science major and a dedicated member of the coed cheer team.
Don Quinn, a Democrat and civil rights attorney, officially launched his campaign for Congress in Annapolis. Quinn, a combat veteran, pledges to protect democracy and fight for change in the House of Representatives. His legislative agenda includes enshrining reproductive rights into federal law and championing environmental justice. Quinn, already representing Maryland residents in the federal court system, emphasizes the need for leaders who can work within the system to bring about positive change. In 2014, Quinn, then a resident of Annapolis, unsuccessfully ran as a Republican against State Senator John Astle.
Annapolis High School kicks off the new year with a unique initiative—Service Month. Throughout January, the school focuses on fostering a culture of giving back among students. The program includes field trips, a Service Learning Portal, a Service Fair showcasing opportunities, and an interactive school-wide calendar. With support from the PTSA, the school was awarded a grant for materials, enhancing the impact of school-wide service projects. Collaborations with local organizations and businesses underline the school’s commitment to community engagement, marking the beginning of a year-round effort to empower students to make a positive difference.
Hopefully, you caught our Canines and Crosstreks on Friday with Pappi, a somewhat shy Maltese mix who will quickly warm up to you. Hopefully, you have some room in your heart and home for him. If you missed it, go back and have a listen!
On Saturday, we spoke with the movers and shakers at Third Eye Comics, and they had a BIG announcement– a new Third Eye Music and Video opening soon! So, do give that a listen!
OK, that’s a wrap– thank YOU first and foremost, and also a quick thank you to our sponsors for today’s Daily News Brief– Annapolis Subaru, the SPCA of Anne Arundel County, Solar Energy Services, and Hospice of the Chesapeake.
