March 29

The body found a-floating next to the Constellation was ID'd as James Lee Butler, 41. So far no signs of foul play, odds are 341-1 favoring that the ME's office will pronouce the death "undetermined."

Travis D. Terry, 24, a County man who killed his friend Edwin Leon Potillo III, also 24, and shot and robbed his girlfriend, was spared the death penalty by Judge Kathleen Cox.

An unID'd woman's body has found mouldering in Linthicum.

In what "must have looked like a scene from the TV series 'The Untouchables'" (?) County police raided the Trial Club on Cove Rd., an alleged unlicensed bar in North Point.

The armed robbery trial of Corey McLeaurin, 29, of the 3400 block of Gwynns Falls Parkway, is scheduled for 9:30 tomorrow morning before Judge Wanda Heard. A Baltimore City Grand Jury indicted McLeaurin April 11, 2006 for armed robbery, use of a handgun in the commission of a crime of violence and other related counts. Court documents allege that on March 17, 2006 McLeaurin and another man robbed Bel-Airian Mark Beckwith, 57, of $5,900 cash in the parking lot of the Village of Cross Keys shopping center (between Roland Park, Poly and 83). The victim shot and injured McLeaurin during the robbery. Another suspect was shot and killed, and the State's Attorney’s Office later found the shooting was justified.

What the?! Homeland security is making raids across Baltimore, and has made 50... make that 69, arrests!
This should come as jolly news to readers who endorsed more raids after the 7-11 smackdown.

New stomach-churning details in the case of BarfCo serial killer Charles Burns.

Denny's manager Michael Fredrick, 52, was stabbed 32 times by David Burton, who "had just taken hits of cocaine and heroine [sic]" and was found guilty of attempted first-degree murder.

It's the towns vs. the gowns as Tuscany-Canturbury neighbors attempt to zone the Phi Psi's boozy, deliquent urinatin' fun out of their residential district. On the Phi Psi's side, no one less than NY Mayor and former brother Michael Bloomberg.

fun fact: phi psi is also known at hopkins as the "stoner frat."

I went to a few phi psi parties back in the day, and they were actually pretty decent about trying to keep things quiet and making people behave. They knew what kind of a neighborhood they were in, and there certainly wasn't any music blaring or drunks pissing all over the place. Then again, the people who live around Hopkins sure do love to complain.

I'd rather live next to a frat house then a halfway house. Obviously The Sun thinks this story is "sexy" because its old upper crust v. young upper crust in a stupid argument over noise. Can we get some reporting about what our leaders intend to do with real crime?

Excuse me?

"Hyman adds. "But there's no place on Earth where 30 18- to 20-year-old boys can go unsupervised and not get into trouble.""

18 and up are adults, they are not boys. I intensly disagree with the BS drinking age of 21. At 18, an individual is old enough to sign contracts, get married, become a soldier, vote, but when it comes to having a beer, sorry not old enough. That is a piece of crap!

Let's either make adulthood 18 or 21.

i agree with you ppatin, i went to a few parties there too and there was always a brother stationed at the corner of 39th and cloverhill telling passing partygoers to keep it down. the also had like an antechamber at the front and refused to open the inner door unless the outer door was shut to minimize noise emanating into the outside world.
