📰 News we're reading
• Two Charged In Alleged Mop Water Assault At Waldorf LA Fitness (thebaynet.com) — An alleged dispute between an employee and a member at the Waldorf LA Fitness has led to second-degree assault charges for both, nearly a year after the incident. Court records describe conflicting accounts about mop water being thrown in the men’s locker room and a disputed photo, with both defendants now summoned to Charles County District Court in September. 
• Knife, Chokehold And Assault Charges Filed: Police Sergeant Among Those Charged In Charles County (thebaynet.com) — Two men, including a Forest Heights police sergeant, are facing felony assault charges after an argument at a Waldorf home allegedly escalated into choking and a knife confrontation. Deputies say alcohol played a role, and both defendants, one a Waldorf resident, are now awaiting separate preliminary hearings in Charles County District Court next month.
• Bows, Not Guns: Charles County Weighs New Hunting Access On County-Owned Land (thebaynet.com) — Charles County leaders are weighing whether to open four county-owned properties, including the 144-acre Gardiner Station tract in Waldorf, to bow hunting under a partnership with state wildlife officials. Commissioners are seeking more analysis and public input on safety, enforcement, and the need for additional hunting land before making any final decision, so changes would not affect the current season.
