MEDLEY'S NECK --- Ace Reporter Sean Rice reports from the scene of a police shooting that at 7:30 p.m. Saturday night a suspected drunk driver on a Harley refused to stop for SDFC Mark Porter on Rt. 244 and a slow-speed chase ensued, until the man stopped just into Breton Beach Road.    The officer attempted to explain that sobriety tests would be administered but the belligerent rider pulled out a knife and threatened the deputy, police say. A struggle ensued in which the deputy attempted to stop the man with a Taser device. A passer-by witnessed the struggled and stopped to assist the officer.     St. Mary's Sheriff Tim Cameron told ST. MARY'S TODAY that the suspect then turned the knife and attempted to murder the citizen also.     A release issued by the sheriff's office states: "During the course of the confrontation, the Deputy fired one round from his agency issued weapon which temporarily stopped the suspect. The suspect attempted to flee on foot at which time additional Officers were able to place him in custody and immediately administer medical treatment."     ST. MARY'S TODAY has learned the man was struck in the middle/upper torso, and he was last listed in critical condition. At the scene Saturday, investigators would not release the man's identity because next of  kin hasn't been notified. Neither Dep. Porter nor the citizen was injured.     The suspect was transported to St. Mary’s Hospital and then taken by                           DEP. PORTER    Maryland State Police helicopter to the Washington Hospital Center.     Suspects running from police are a common place occurrence in St. Mary's where numerous wild drivers fly through traffic, running red lights, passing on shoulders, and generally drive like lunatics.  ....stay tuned and remember its Saturday night in St. Mary's, the land of the flask, the fiddle and the dark roasted possum.

Fatal Wreck
 

SOLOMON'S ISLAND --- Maryland State Police Prince Frederick Barracks Commander Lt. Homer Rich reports that
on Friday, March 23, 2007, at approximately 12:55 PM, Carolynn P. Lundmark (42 of Solomons, MD) was traveling
 north on Solomons Island Road (S),  Solomons, Calvert County, Maryland.  Ms. Lundmark was operating her 2004
 GMC Yukon SUV and was traveling alone.  For unknown reasons, her truck drifted from side to side, and then
traveled to the right, off of the roadway near Newtown Road.   It then struck a concrete curb, a nearby light pole,
and came to rest in a large drainage ditch.  Police and EMS personnel arrived promptly at the scene and exhausted
 every possible effort to save Ms. Lundmark.  These were unsuccessful.  Several witnesses reported that Ms. Lundmark
exhibited little control of her SUV seconds before the crash and may have been slumped over the steering wheel
immediately before the crash.   Excessive speed and alcohol are not factors in this tragic crash.   The impact was
 low speed with relatively little damage to the vehicle.  This investigation is ongoing.

One Dead in Triple Stabbing


Drug party turns deadly

Charles County Sheriff's officers report that on Friday, March 16 at 10:35 p.m., Officers responded to a
residence in the 13400 block of Budds Creek Road in Charlotte Hall for the report of a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers discovered three victims of the stabbing: Richard Blane Barlow, Jr., 37, of Charlotte Hall, a 25-year-old Charlotte Hall man and a 31-year-old La Plata man. Barlow was pronounced dead at the scene and the other victims were transported to Prince George's County Hospital Center. The suspect, who fled on foot prior to the officers'
arrival, was identified as Ronald Eugene Cannady, 22, of Oxon Hill. Officers located him nearby a short time later and arrested him.
 The investigation revealed the suspect and victims were attending a gathering at the house and became
involved in an altercation, during which Cannady stabbed the three victims. Cannady is an acquaintance of one
of the victims, the La Plata man, who brought Cannady to the gathering. At least some of the participants in
the fight were under the influence of marijuana and PCP. The cause of the altercation is being investigated.
 The surviving victims are in stable condition. Cannady is charged with murder and two counts of attempted murder and is being held at the Charles County Detention Center without bond. Detectives T. Miner and
K. Keelan are investigating.

Man Parks His Van on Thomas Johnson Bridge, Police Find a Note Saying he Jumped

Gov. Thomas Johnson bridge crosses the Patuxent River at Solomon's Island.  This view under the bridge is
about a third of the way across the river which at this point is 120' deep and has a swift current.  Jumpers are sometimes not found for weeks until body gases cause the corpse to float but the water's depth usually
prevents dragging operations from succeeding. ST. MARY'S TODAY photos.

Politically Correct Crowd on the Assault Freedom of the Press Under Attack . . .  <<<    Cartoons of the ruthless rednecks that set fire to more than 20 brand new homes, mostly owned by black families, in an upper-middle class subdivision in Charles County, the Hunter's Brooke arson demonstrate that toons of white criminals  can be published without complaint from the politically correct - but no one shall dare draw a cartoon of black armed robbers.  See the link to Toonville for many other cartoons.  The offending cartoon is republished this week, along with a selection of past toons, to help tune up the discussion, now available on newsstands.....    WUSA Channel 9 Nancy Yamada's video interview. Associated Press article    Washington Post story (Note: the Post reporter said that no comment was given.  That is not true. She apparently didn't like the comment. The comment was as follows: "You are not the editor of St. Mary's Today, if someone has a problem with our editorial cartoon that person can call or write us a letter to the editor".  Then the call was ended. In the interest of full disclosure, Janice Walthour's sister, Elfreda Mathis, was a candidate in last year's election and sought but did not win the endorsement of this newspaper. Mathis did not win her bid to oust Commissioner Kenny Dement. In addition, why would Walthour allow her sister to purchase campaign ads in a newspaper she told the Post is racist? Mathis advertised heavily in ST. MARY'S TODAY during the campaign.) Editorial: Toons That Kill        We didn't know that the armed robbery lobby was so powerful. An example of a historic racist cartoon                Letter to the Editor:  Reporter Didn't Tell The Whole Story    "I fondly recalled the cartoon renditions of criminal Caucasian rednecks, crazed Caucasian outlaw bikers, and even the time I appeared in caricature as a ballerina with my hairpiece slipping off ... I want to see what Commissioner President Jack Russell will look like as a cartoon character."
