Please don't all believe items reported by the Howard County police. The facts are many times erroneous and/or embellished reports made to look like the police are actually doing something. Look at the small time crimes they respond to. If they think they are so bad a**, let them help clean up crime in Balto city. Ha! I'm afraid there would be a bunch of scared little babies downtown!
