PRINCE FREDERICK, MD. — A local heathen got a lesson in hi-tech theft prevention over his recent illegal acquisition of a cell phone when away at basketball camp. On 6/22/14 at 11:33 pm, Trooper First Class Matthews and Trooper Rowe responded to the 800 block of Calvert Towne Dr. in Prince Frederick in an attempt to locate a cell phone previously reported missing from a basketball camp in Pittsburg. The complainant tracked it to this location with the “Track my Iphone” application. A fourteen year old juvenile, who had attended the camp, was found to be in possession of the missing Iphone. He was arrested and released to his parent.

Others who were influential in the Dorsey Machine, as the liberals who had their own machine liked to call it, were “lieutenants” of the political organization – one of whom was Charlie Hall.

Charlie rose from being a lieutenant to being a standard-bearer in that in 1974 he mounted a credible campaign for County Commissioner and lost the Democratic Primary to John Knight Parlett, the scion of a gas empire on the east coast.
