Elvis made an appearance in Westminster recently


Elvis made an appearance in Westminster recently

Recently Westminster has been all-abuzz with the Raven’s summer training camp being held at McDaniel College; however the event that was missed by most folks, including crackerjack Carroll County Times reporters Adam Bednar and Marc Shapiro, was the appearance of Elvis in town.


I kid you not.


On Thursday evening on July 29, Elvis made an appearance at Jiffy Mart in downtown Westminster at the corner of Main and Carroll Street.

The event was witnessed by Lori Graham, Westminster police officer Michael Beaumont, the recipient of the Chief's Challenge Award from Westminster police chief Jeff Spaulding, for top total law enforcement on March 16, 2009 at an awards ceremony at McDaniel College's Decker Center; and Westminster police officer Steve Blackwell.


It is not known at this time if Graham had blue suede shoes on at the time she snapped this picture.


There are those who do not believe that Elvis is alive, but for Lori, Steve, Mike and I – we believe.

At 4:40 p.m. Sunday, Sgt. Antoine Smith put his police lights on, blared his siren and drove quickly to Owings Mills on a hit-and-run call.

"Two black males hit a car and got out and ran," he said. "They probably stole the car and hit somebody."

As he communicated with Baltimore County Police by radio, he canvassed wooded areas behind apartment buildings and around the Owings Mills Mall. He even checked a large recycling container, with his gun drawn, in case the fugitives were hiding in there.

It was one of the many hats Smith would wear Sunday as a Baltimore City Watershed Ranger. While his primary responsibility is to patrol Liberty Reservoir, he has the power to enforce the laws in several jurisdictions, including Baltimore City and the counties of Baltimore, Carroll, Howard, Harford and Anne Arundel, all of which have residents that are served by one of the three city-owned reservoirs.

"We do everything municipal police do, but our biggest hat is natural resources," he said... http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/article_52c458c4-986b-11df-a8fa-001cc4c002e0.html?mode=story
