I would like to thank the Maryland State police and the Calvert County Sheriff’s Department for their assistance in this matter and for going above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that everyone was kept safe and that common sense prevailed. At the same time everybody’s rights under the law were protected, due process was given great respect, and The care of the individuals involved even played a factor.
