Quick gas stop leads retired Fallston couple to $150K lottery win

by Local News Report
By: Local News Report

BEL AIR, MD – A simple trip for gas turned into a life-changing day for a retired couple from Fallston after a stop in Bel Air netted them a $150,000 Maryland Lottery scratch-off prize.

The winner, a retired office manager, said she popped into Carroll Fuel on Rock Springs Road to cash in two small winning tickets while her husband filled the tank. She decided to use part of the winnings to buy two $10 More Money scratch-offs.

The first ticket was a bust — but the second revealed a massive top prize. Initially thinking she’d won $50,000, she put on her glasses and realized there was another digit, making it $150,000.

Her husband was so skeptical that he didn’t even pull over to check the ticket, but the couple has since confirmed the win and plans to share the money with family.

The Bel Air location earns a $1,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. This is the second $150,000 More Money top prize claimed since the game’s March debut.

Key Points

  • Retired Fallston couple wins $150,000 from More Money scratch-off

Maryland man moons city officials during heated council meeting protest

by Breaking Local News Report
By: Breaking Local News Report

FREDERICK, MD – A Frederick resident is making headlines after baring his backside to city officials during a council meeting, an act he claimed was a form of protest protected by state court precedent.

“This is my opinion of you communist bastards,” he said as he pulled his drawers down. “God Bless the U.S.A.”

Creative form of protest
byu/theRemRemBooBear inmaryland

The incident unfolded as Adam Harper addressed the council, voicing frustration over what he described as excessive difficulty in obtaining public records. After verbally criticizing the officials, he turned and mooned them while declaring “God bless the USA.”

Harper cited a 2006 Maryland court ruling that determined mooning could be considered expressive conduct rather than indecent exposure. The exchange quickly spread online, drawing both criticism and support from viewers.

Officials have not announced whether Harper will face any charges in connection with the display.

Key Points

  • Adam Harper mooned Frederick city council during public meeting in protest

Delaware State Police honors Lt. Colonel Daniel Meadows as he retires after 30 years of service

by Local News Report
By: Local News Report

DOVER, DE – The Delaware State Police has announced the retirement of Lt. Colonel Daniel Meadows, marking the end of a 30-year law enforcement career defined by leadership through critical incidents, modernization efforts, and expanding transparency. Meadows officially retired last Friday.

Meadows began his policing career in 1995 with the New Castle County Police Department before joining DSP in 1997 as part of the 67th Delaware State Police Academy Class. His early years included assignments to Troops 3, 6, and 2, with later roles in the Governor’s Task Force, Special Investigations Unit, and Intelligence Section. He also joined the DSP Pipes and Drums in 2001.

Promoted to lieutenant in 2010, Meadows led the Criminal Investigative Unit at Troop 2, later becoming director of the Delaware State Bureau of Identification. He subsequently oversaw DSP’s Intelligence and Homeland Security Section, directing units such as the Joint Terrorism Task Force, High Technology Crimes Unit, and Internet Crimes Against Children Unit.

By 2016, Meadows was promoted to major, managing the Special Operations portfolio, which included Aviation, Homicide, SCUBA, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, and tactical units. He served as incident commander during events such as the James T. Vaughn prison barricade, the Delaware Veterans Cemetery armed standoff, and the standoff following the killing of Corporal Stephen J. Ballard.

In 2020, he became Deputy Superintendent as a lieutenant colonel, overseeing all operational divisions, internal affairs, and the rollout of DSP’s body-worn camera program. Meadows also represented DSP on numerous state and national boards and earned multiple awards, including two Lifesaving Awards and several Exceptional Performance Awards.

Meadows holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Wilmington University and is a graduate of multiple prestigious law enforcement leadership programs, including the FBI National Academy and FBI National Executive Institute.

The Delaware State Police credited Meadows with strengthening operations, guiding responses to large-scale incidents, and enhancing the agency’s accountability measures.

Paterson remains a city without water as crisis enters 4th day

by Breaking Local News Report
By: Breaking Local News Report

PATERSON, NJ – Large sections of Paterson have gone without running water since Friday as crews work to repair a major break in the city’s water system involving a custom-fabricated 30-inch pipe.

The Passaic Valley Water Commission said some neighborhoods are slowly regaining service, with pressure beginning to rise and leaks being reduced. Temporary pumps are in place to boost supply, but the system remains fragile and needs time to stabilize. Officials estimate it could take another 12 to 24 hours before more consistent pressure reaches additional areas.

Residents with water are being urged to avoid nonessential use — including lawn watering, filling large containers, and opening fire hydrants — to speed recovery for those still without service. A boil water advisory remains in effect until further notice.

——
Key Points

  • Paterson residents face fourth day of limited or no water service after major pipe break
  • PVWC crews using temporary pumps and repairs to restore pressure
  • Boil water advisory remains in place and conservation urged citywide
