Many of you have contacted the Worman’s Mill Conservancy Board, the Worman’s Mill Civic Association or Patty Vasco looking for further information in regard to the police activity on Friday night, August 20. Here is the report I received from Corporal Marty Holt, our NAC representative at the Frederick Police Department:

“Several people were located in a vacant house and a neighbor called the police. When we got there several people were arrested and one subject fled into the woods behind Jubal Way. [Jubal Way is not located in Worman's Mill. It is located in the Highlands at Tuscarora community, next to us and accessed form Waterside Drive and Monocacy Blvd.] It was determined that the person who fled had other outstanding charges and a perimeter was set and a search that included air support (helicopter) was conducted. The subject was not located that night but has been recently arrested.”

I hope this report will put to rest the rumors that have been circulating for the past few days. I think this incident and its outcome show how important it is to be alert to your surroundings and to call the police when something does not seem right. Yes, this call had a more dramatic outcome than most calls to the police but a vigilant citizen played an important part in a criminal being apprehended.

Thank you,

Please note the dates for the next several Worman’s Mill Conservancy Board of Trustees meetings at http://www.wmconservancy.com/trustees.html#calendar. The August 18 meeting has been cancelled. Because the Board regular meeting schedule during a year has been expanded, the August meeting has been dropped in favor of having three more regular meetings this year. The next regular meeting is September 29.
