Police: 2 Men Arrested On Handgun Violations. Two men were arrested in connection with handgun violations in Glen Burnie, Anne Arundel County police said. Police said they stopped a Ford Taurus in the area of Bruton Drive and Southbridge Drive in Glen Burnie for a registration violation around 11:40 p.m. Monday. While investigating the expired and altered tags, a K-9 officer, Officer Jeffrey Rothenbecker, and his K-9 partner Rocky arrived on scene. After scanning the car, police said they were able to obtain a positive response for the odor of possible drugs in the car so they searched the car while both occupants were seated on a curb.

Man Killed In Early Morning Crash On 295.  A fatal pedestrian crash on southbound 295 in the Jessup area has closed both sides of the highway and is severely backing up traffic. The crash was reported shortly before 5 a.m. Wednesday just south of the Route 175 exit. Police said a vehicle hit and killed a man in the southbound lanes. That vehicle stayed at the scene.

3 Charged In Human Trafficking Case.  Police have charged three people with human trafficking and other charges in two unrelated cases in Howard County. “It is coincidental that we’ve made back-to-back arrests in cases that are unrelated, but sadly we, in law enforcement, know that human trafficking is becoming more of a problem and an issue,” Howard County police spokeswoman Sherry Llewellyn said.
