Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Annapolis Man To Serve 18 Years For Possessing Child Sex Abuse Images (patch.com) — Annapolis readers should know that a 36-year-old city resident has been sentenced to 18 years in prison, with additional time suspended, for possessing child sexual abuse material. Anne Arundel County police and prosecutors detailed how a tip linked his online accounts to the images, and he must now register as a Tier 2 sex offender and remain under supervision after release.
2. Human Remains Found At Truxtun Park In Annapolis: Police (patch.com) — People in Annapolis should be aware that police are investigating human remains found in a wooded area of Truxtun Park and working with the state medical examiner to identify the person and cause of death. Authorities say there is no known threat to the community, but some park areas may be closed while detectives continue their work and seek tips from the public.
3. Annapolis increases fines for rental violations (rollingout.com) — If you operate or stay in short-term rentals in Annapolis, be aware that the city has raised the maximum fine for violations to $5,000 and it's already in effect. The increase accompanies a one-year pause on most new licenses and targets unlicensed properties, giving officials more leverage to enforce existing rules across local neighborhoods.
4. Annapolis Pride Parade & Festival Returns Oct. 3 With Music, Food And Family Fun (thebaynet.com) — Annapolis residents can enjoy the Pride Parade and Festival this Saturday, Oct. 3, with a downtown parade, live music on two stages, and a family-friendly, alcohol-free celebration at Bates Athletic Complex. Organizers outline parking at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, shuttle options, food trucks, vendors, and an evening after-party at the Graduate Hotel so you can plan your day smoothly.
5. Two Sentenced In Murder Of 18-Year-Old Glen Burnie High School Senior (newsbreak.com) — Annapolis-based prosecutors have secured long prison sentences for two 18-year-olds in the 2025 killing of Glen Burnie High School senior Jonathan Guiliani, closing a high-profile case for Anne Arundel County.
