'White Power' Flyers Found In Howard County, Police Investigating

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — Howard County Police are investigating what's being described as "white power" flyers that were scattered about one community.

"In recent days, we have become aware of a hate bias incident that took place at Lake Kittamaqundi over the weekend," Howard County Executive Calvin Ball said on Facebook.

Ball said the flyers distributed in Columbia were "not an isolated occurrence" and that similar flyers have been found in other states.

"Incidents of hate and discrimination toward anyone in our communities will not be tolerated. In Howard County, we value every individual and believe that our diversity is our greatest strength," Ball said. "The actions of few who wish to divide us will never be stronger than our commitment to a safe, inclusive community for all."
