BOWIE, MD. – On the same day in February that an evil teen armed with a gun murdered 17 students in a Florida high school, the son of one of the families that founded the nationally known Ledo’s Pizza chain and a sitting Bowie City Councilman was released on bail from jail in Prince George’s County on armed robbery charges.
