Today's riddle: What is full of holes but still holds water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Woman hurt, suspect arrested in Bowie shooting: Police (dcnewsnow.com) — A woman is in critical condition after being shot inside a Bowie home Thursday afternoon, according to city police. Officers quickly arrested a suspect known to the victim and recovered the suspected weapon, and investigators say the domestic incident poses no ongoing threat to the wider Bowie community as they continue their work.
2. Legal Roundup: Roofing Contractors Face Criminal Charges in Four States (roofingcontractor.com) — A Bowie resident is facing felony theft and licensing-related charges after state investigators said a homeowner's roof-repair deposit in Waldorf was never returned when work didn't begin. The broader roundup highlights similar criminal cases against roofing contractors in several other states, underscoring why Maryland homeowners should verify licenses and be cautious with large advance payments.
3. 'Earn While You Learn': Getting Into Trades Through Apprenticeship (washingtoninformer.com) — Bowie gets a brief spotlight as a federal apprenticeship roundtable once brought top labor officials to a local training center, underscoring the city's role in workforce development. The story then walks you through how paid apprenticeship programs across the DMV help residents earn strong wages, benefits, and industry credentials while they learn, and why commitment and adaptability are key to success in the trades.
4. Bowie man arrested after Annapolis police recovered heroin, other drugs and gun (foxbaltimore.com) — Annapolis police arrested a 31-year-old Bowie man after serving a search warrant that turned up heroin, cocaine, PCP, amphetamine, cash, and a handgun with an obliterated serial number. The investigation centers on an Annapolis address, but the suspect's Bowie ties make this a notable regional case for local residents following crime and public safety issues.
