| Man found dead, CRE (from St.marystoday.com)
Splish Splash...not taking a bath...now body is found!
LUSBY (May 5, 2008) --- Calvert Sheriff Mike Evans now confirms that a man who ran from police on Friday night when neighbors called to complain about a loud party was found dead today in a lake.
Police looked for the man when he ran into woods and Sheriff Evans said that there was no reason to call out a dive team as no one at the scene heard a splash or had any reason to believe he had dived into the lake. After searching the wooded area near the party, police left without making any arrests.
Drug activity was suspected as a reason the man may have fled and on Sunday there was a report he was in St. Mary's County.
Family members complained that someone had heard a splash, but apparently none of his friends or family bothered to look in the lake themselves.
Recovered from the lake in the Chesapeake Ranch Club was Demetrious Hall.
Running from the police is a sure way to guarantee that the police will not guarantee your safety, as you are not in their custody. Running from police and jumping into a lake should be attempted only by those who can swim. |
