TRANSCRIPT:
Good morning, it is Monday, January 25th 2021 and THIS is your Eye On Annapolis Daily News Brief.
I hope you had a fantastic weekend…my weekend saw me down at Assateague checking out the ponies and the cold beach..a trip to Berlin–cool little town, and then a hike at Calvert Cliffs–so, pretty much beat. But, it IS Monday, so let’s get into it!
Back in November, the Anne Arundel County Police took a report of a sex offense that had happened the night prior as the child spent the night at a friend’s home. According to the police, the male guardian of the friend, provided alcohol to the children, and after everyone was asleep he came into the room to take photos and sexually assault the victim. Police searched the home and seized several digital devices for evidence and analysis. As you can guess, they came back and corroborated the victim’s story. The 53-year old male of the 700 block of 203rd Street in Pasadena was arrested and charge with assault, sex offenses, abuse of a minor, and contributing to the condition of a child. He is being held on a no bond status. Police are concerned about possible other victims and are asking anyone with information to contact them at 410-222-4733.
On Saturday afternoon, the Anne Arundel County Fire Department was dispatched to Route 50 and Rutland Road for a shooting. A 17-year old male was being transported in a car near Rutland Road when the car was met by EMS and taken to Anne Arundel Medical Center. After arrival, the victim died of his injuries. Police believe he was shot somewhere in Prince George’s County and the Prince George’s County Police Department is investigating, but they do not have a suspect, nor have they located a crime scene.
Let’s slide into something a bit more pleasant! Not terribly exciting, but something you should know. Like the Federal Government, Maryland has now delayed the START of tax season until February 12th. This means that they will not accept returns prior to that. And unlike last year when they extended the filing deadline, taxes will be due on April 15th 2021 just like normal. Of course with the pandemic, this might change, but for now it is business as usual. If you need any help with Maryland taxes, Comptroller Franchot has a great website .. predictably, marylandtaxes.gov
February is Black History Month and Annapolis Tours by Watermark is again offering the African American Heritage Tour every Saturday in February. It’s a 2 hour walking tour (unfortunately not recommended for anyone with mobility issues) in partnership with the Kunte Kinte – Alex Haley Foundation and will trace the journey of African Americans in Annapolis and explore their impact from 300 years ago until today! Tours are at 130pm..meet at the Market House . Tickets should be purchased in advance for $20 ($5 for kids) at AnnapolisTours.com
And finally, for the chocolate lover in your life. Maybe it is you. This weekend, Godiva, the Belgian chocolatier announced that they are closing ALL of their North American Stores by the end of March. We do have one in the Annapolis Mall and there will be some great sales as they sell off their inventory. Godiva will still be available at re-sellers– think grocery stores and Hallmark shops. And if you need a chocolate fix, See’s Candies is opening a kiosk at least through Valentine’s Day at the mall–that opens on Friday the 29th!
OK that wraps up the news for us today. As always, thank you for listening and if you are somewhere where you can leave a rating or a review, please do. And make sure you let your friends, family and colleagues know about us.
