St. Mary's Co. Sheriff's Reports


LEONARDTOWN, Md. (Sept. 21, 2013)—The St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office released the following incident and arrest reports.

COPS ON ROOFTOPS: The Cops on Rooftops program consists of officers greeting customers at the door and, (for the daring), standing on the roof of the California, Maryland Dunkin Donuts. This is done in an effort to attract attention, awareness and customer support for Special Olympics. There will be Sheriff's Office vehicles, a silent auction, entertainment for kids and of course DONUTS and COFFEE. Volunteers, officer's and Special Olympics athletes will be on-site to greet customers both inside and outside the store.

This is a very worthwhile and fun event that will only take a few hours of your Saturday or Sunday morning. If you are interested in assisting please email or contact me directly. If not, please stop by to support this extremely important cause. Dunkin' Donuts California, Route 235 in front of K-mart. Saturday, September 28 & Sunday, September 29, 8am to 12noon on both days.
