NO ARRESTS FOR VIOLATION OF GOVERNOR’S EXECUTIVE ORDER

COVID-19 prevention efforts Wednesday night indicate Maryland State troopers made no arrests, filed no charges, and had to only issue a minimal amount of warnings for people in businesses not wearing face coverings or social distancing. During the overwhelming majority of checks made, troopers found businesses and customers in compliance with requirements for face coverings, social distancing and closing times. More than 200 calls or emails were received on the statewide COVID-19 prevention hotline. On the subject of drunk and drugged drivers, numbers indicate that troopers arrested at least 16 impaired drivers across the state.
