"Operation Delirium"

The pair that allegedly assaulted a bus driver, Russell Thomas and Sabreena Clemons, have been arrested.
CV's Steve Gewitz covers the case of Jamar Bailey, the accused Subway robber, and the ongoing appeals of Thomas Meighan Jr., who admits to drinking, driving and killing JHU student Miriam Frankl. Meighan says that he didn't have information on the forensic reconstruction of the accident* before pleading guilty.

The law firm of Peter Angelos ("working people helped build this country") wants to revive 13,000 asbestos cases*.

From the JHU security bulletin: a Barnes & Noble shoplifter, stolen gift cards and an afternoon burglary at the University Apartments.

From the Facebook:  [Thursday] night somebody tried to break into a house on Keswick near the Royal Farms. A guy with a gun attacked a man on his porch and tried to force his way into his home. 

Francis Kang, the Towson shooter, has been charged* with 1st-degree attempted murder, 1st degree assault and felonious handgun use.

Say what now? Candace Williams claimed that Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs punched her and dragged her from a moving car while her children watched, and told a 911 operator she feared for her life. In 2009 she called police after he threw a soap dispenser at her, hit her in the chest the threatened to pour bleach over her head. And, by the way, he's got at least seven guns in the house. So ... last weekend they got married. Blarf.

Did you know? (I didn't): during the Cold War the army tested "psychochemical" agents for use as weapons at the Edgewood Arsenal, the series of experiments was called "Operation Delirium."
