An Annapolis man was arrested Sunday night at Castlebay Irish Pub after choking a patron, attacking a staff member, and attempting to disarm a police officer. The man, 56, was charged with two counts of first- and second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, resisting arrest, and disarming a law enforcement officer. He remains in custody without bail. The altercation began with a verbal dispute between the suspect and a female customer, escalating to physical violence against a staff member and another customer. The injured employee was hospitalized with rib injuries.
A Glen Burnie man was arrested Monday for shooting at his ex-girlfriend, her friend, and a 3-year-old girl during a domestic dispute. He faces three counts each of attempted first- and second-degree murder and is being held without bail. The incident occurred Sunday night when the woman went to the suspect’s residence to retrieve belongings. He fired at them after a confrontation in the driveway. Police responded to the scene but initially found the house dark and unresponsive until one of the women approached them.
Fines for speeding violations in Maryland work zones have doubled from $40 to $80. Data obtained by WTOP takes a look at the revenue they will generate. Looking at 4 cameras, 2 on Rt 100 at the Baltimore Washington Parkway, one at 29 north at Broken Land Parkway, and another on I-95 south at Guilford Road–collectively they have issues 29,387 tickets since last August. At $80 a pop that is $2.3 million for just 4 cameras! Of course the reason for the doubling of the fines is to hopefully keep workers safe in work zones, but this also helps out the nearly-depleted transportation trust fund!
The Anne Arundel County Master Gardeners will host free composting demonstrations at Quiet Waters Park, offering free compost bins to residents. The next session will be at 10 am on June 15th. Attendees must pay a $6.00 park entrance fee. For more information, residents can contact the compost team via email at [email protected].
And remember, Eastport A Rockin is next weekend. And if you buy your tickets early, you save $10 from the price at the gate. And if you buy them now and use the code EOAEAR24 you save an additional $5 off all of the General Admission tickets you want! So go do that now while you are thinking about it. EastportARockin.com
