Queen Anne’s County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Queenstown Outlets in earlier this month, for a report of a stolen vehicle.  Dispatchers informed the deputies that the vehicle, a truck valued at nearly $76,000,  had been reported stolen earlier that same day from Pohanka Toyota in Salisbury.  When deputies arrived at the outlets, they saw a man sitting in the driver’s seat of a vehicle that matched the description of the stolen truck. Deputies stopped and identified the individual as Micah Blue, 42, of Salisbury.  When questioned, Blue told deputies that the dealership had given him permission to take the truck on a test drive, and that no one at the dealership told him when he needed to bring the truck back.  Blue was then placed under arrest and charged with Unauthorized Removal of Property and Motor Vehicle Theft.  He is also charged with Theft $25,000 to under $100,000. Blue is currently being held without bond on multiple charges spanning 2 days.  Mr. Blue is presumed innocent  presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. 

Hunters on the Eastern Shore can now head out after ducks. The first split of Maryland’s regular duck season in the Eastern Zone opened last Saturday, and runs through October 17.  Before heading out, hunters need to make sure they have the right stamps. Adults must buy two of them, a Maryland Migratory Game Bird Stamp and a Federal Duck Stamp.  The rules are a little different for young hunters. Youth hunters, including those with an apprentice license, still need the Maryland Migratory Game Bird Stamp. If they are under 16 years old, they do not need to buy the Federal Duck Stamp.  The daily bag limit is the same in both the Eastern and Western zones. Hunters can take up to 6 ducks per day, with limits on certain kinds of ducks.
