Here are the top stories today in Glen Burnie:

1. Glen Burnie DUI Arrest: On Oct. 13, at approximately 11:20 p.m., an officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop of a gold Honda Accord in the area of Ritchie Highway and Furnace Branch Road in Glen Burnie. The vehicle failed to stop and continued at a high rate of speed until it struck a median and a parked vehicle at Thomas Road and Alview Terrace. The driver fled on foot, but was quickly apprehended by the officer. The driver was found to be under the influence of marijuana and alcohol. The officer located a loaded Polymer 80 Glock style “ghost gun” handgun with no serial number on the driver’s side floorboard of the vehicle. The driver was arrested and charged accordingly. (Anne Arundel County)
2. Glen Burnie Library: On Monday, Oct. 18, Glen Burnie Public Library will host a Outdoor Music and Movement at 11 a.m., for preschoolers (0-5). When a child dances, they learn about how their body can move and they use different muscles than simply standing and walking around does, which strengthens them. Through dance, children learn to coordinate and control their bodies and the movement helps them develop spatial awareness. (Anne Arundel Library)
3. Man fatally shot in Anne Arundel County: On Thursday afternoon, a man was killed in a shooting in Anne Arundel County. At about 1 p.m. officers responded to the unit block of Pleasant Street for a report of a shooting. Officers arrived and located a male shooting victim. The victim was taken to an area hospital where he died from his injuries. (NewsBreak)
