Hello, everybody! I'm here with your fresh copy of the Glen Burnie Daily, filled with all the local information you need to know right now. Here goes...

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 80 Low: 64.

Here are the top stories today in Glen Burnie:

  1. People express themselves in all sorts of ways. Not everyone will agree with how others choose to express themselves, but who are we to judge? Phil Ateto, is one such person that chose to express his discontent by wearing an emoji poop costume to a County Council Meeting on May 2. He was arrested for disorderly conduct. (News Break)
  2. On Wednesday, May 25 a mail carrier was assaulted in Crofton. The armed suspects wore ski masks and long sleeves. A $50,000 reward is being offered for the suspects arrest. (WMAR 2)
  3. An update on the school shooting in Texas reveals that 911 was called numerous times by students and teachers. It seems officers were told to wait and the wait ended up being for 45 minutes. Apparently the commander on site did not think that anyone was in danger, so the decision was made to have the officers wait. (WBAL 11)
  4. This Memorial weekends weather seems to be playing nicely. The temperatures are rising and storms seem to be holding off. But, this is Maryland, so the weather can change at the drop of a hat! Check your local weather often for updates. (WBFF 45)
