Dorchester police and fire
$2M for Shore firefighters
Last week, U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen and Ben Cardin and Congressman Andy Harris, M.D. (all Md.) announced $2,134,583 in federal funding for Maryland firefighters in Cecil, Dorchester, Somerset, Talbot and Worcester counties. The funding will enhance firefighters’ emergency response capabilities and their ability to protect the health and safety of the public and themselves. It will also support the recruitment and retention of additional firefighters.
Among the grants, $68,571.42 will go to Hoopers Island Volunteer Fire Co. to acquire 20 sets of personal protective equipment.
Trespassing arrest
On Sept. 29, deputies from the Talbot County Sheriff's Office arrested a 42-year-old Cambridge man. Deputies attempted to remove the man from the 9700 block of Chapel Road; however, he refused to leave the property and was placed under arrest.
Isaac Douglas Copper was charged with trespassing and disturbing the peace. Copper was transported to the Talbot County Central Booking facility for processing and an initial appearance before a District Court Commissioner. Copper was held pending further action by the courts.
