Inaccurate Rumor Being Shared Online
The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office is aware of an online rumor being shared on social media relaying a story that drivers are being attacked on local roads when they stop after being struck with objects or after driving over roadway debris.
The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office received a report of rocks in the road on Piney Point Road on Oct. 7, 2018, but no report of the driver being attacked. The Sheriff’s Office was indirectly notified of a reported assault on Oct. 16, 2018 at Route 235 and St. John’s Road in Hollywood, but no robbery occurred. The case is still under investigation.
At this time, there is no reason to believe the two incidents are related and we have no other reports of this nature.
If roadside attacks had been reported to the Sheriff’s Office, the Public Information Office would immediately alert the public to such activity.

BTW, how old is the "Add a Prefix" button when you are authroing a new thread? I was going to make a seocnd post after this that the Life in SOMD section should have a "Crime and Punishment" subsection.
First off, this is alleged to be happening here, St Johns and 235, the Callaway area, one or two others. Anyway, onto the deal. Saw a few FB posts yesterday, that combined with subsequent posts and comments attached to, tell a story that boils down to three or more attacks where the vistim is driving at night, either hits head sized rocks placed in the road or stops to remove them, at which point they are set upon by brigands. Beaten and robbed. I know, I know, ths sound like every other uran legend from the exploding can of biscuits to the OHMAGERD, look out for NOTES ON YOUR WINDSHIELD!!!!!.
But I read at last a few comments where people claimed to know the victim, and not in a "Oh its my sistercousinwifes second cousin, twice removed on unclebrothers side." things like "That was my sister", "this happened to my employee, who is still in treatment for the injuries".
So, what do we know, and when did we know it? And if this is true, why the heck hasnt the Sheriff put out something?
