<h1><span style="font-size: 12pt;">CRIME TIME CALVERT: Starring the thugs of the Ranch Club and Bar Brawling Bozos of Solomon’s</span></h1>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">SOLOMON’S ISLAND &; LUSBY, MD. &#8212; A special element of criminal resides in the corrals and Wild West setting of the infamous Chesapeake Ranch Estates or “Ranch Club” as it is commonly known. The bars and saloons of Solomon’s Island often are visited by those who want trouble instead of a pleasant day or evening with good food and friends. The cleanup squad of local cops from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Department shuttles these characters off to the slammer.</span></p>
