HEATHENS

With United States Senate candidate and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks standing next to the PG County Police Chief as he held a press conference at Potomac High School on June 15, 2024, explaining how one of four murders in twenty-four hours took place, the irony of Alsobrooks attending was extraordinary.

Alsobrooks was the state’s attorney for PG County from January 3, 2011, to December 3, 2018, and was responsible for sending dozens of violent criminals back onto the streets, with many returning to the court system, some for murder. A claim on the Alsobrooks campaign website claims that PG County had a fifty percent reduction in crime during her tenure as prosecutor, a falsehood so blatant that her campaign boasts ought to self-ignite and explode.

Hoodlum Killed in Attempted Robbery When Victim Whacked Him with His Car

UPPER MARLBORO, MD – One wannabe carjacker got more than he was bargaining for when he attempted to rob a Prince George’s County resident and instead was flattened by the victim’s car.

On June 14, 2024, at approximately 12:50 am, officers responded to a gas station in the 9200 block of Crain Highway. Once there, officers spoke to a man who indicated he had just been the victim of an attempted armed robbery outside of a home in the 9500 block of Tiberias Drive. During the incident, the man advised officers he struck one of the suspects with his car before driving to a gas station to call 911. The suspect was pronounced deceased on the scene.

Car Shows: generally peaceful compared to illegal street racing in Southern Maryland

THE CHESAPEAKE TODAY

ACCOKEEK — While the nation tries to make sense out of the latest mass murderer to pull out guns and wipe out innocent lives in the Illinois campus shooting, Maryland proved it was able to up the ante of the gruesome college scene with yet another whacko tragedy of its own as eight people died when a car legally operating on a highway ran into a crowd participating in an illegal street race.

While Prince George’s Police dealt with reconstructing the crash scene, the facts of the matter show that at just before 4 in the morning, about 100 people were out in the cold watching two idiots race each other on a public highway.  

As the crowd stood in the middle of a four-lane highway in the middle of the night, police say that the smoke from the start of another race generated by squealing tires in a ‘burn-out’ blurred the vision for the driver of a Ford sedan that could not see the crowd standing in the roadway and plowed into them, sending them reeling through the air like bowling pins.

What would possibly cause people to be so stupid as to stand in the middle of a highway in the pitch-black night for an illegal drag race is beyond comprehension.

But for the lawless rednecks and morons of Southern Maryland, it wasn’t the first time and certainly won’t be the last as these street racers bring to life the old TV show, the Dukes of Hazard, on a daily basis.

The spot the crowd of morons chose for their illegal drag race was picked on purpose, as well as the time. 

Accokeek is at the far end of the patrol area of both Charles and Prince George’s Counties, and at that time of the morning, a street race is unlikely to be disturbed by a patrolling police cruiser.

The race time was not long after the last bars closed. It was dark, with no street lights or anyone to stop them.

This is not the first time that illegal street racing has claimed lives in the area.

The last time was a spring Sunday afternoon in 1992, on Pin Cushion Road in Loveville, and again, a crowd had gathered to watch two drivers race their cars against each other on that single-lane road in a farming community. Two people were killed, one the son of a police officer, and the officer’s daughter was critically injured, when one driver lost control of his car and flipped over into the crowd gathered to watch the race and bet on the outcome.

Oddly enough, the presence of a legal drag strip at Budd’s Creek, not a very long drive from either Accokeek or Loveville, was not a temptation for those who were involved in either race.

The thrill of a James Dean-style street race continues to draw spectators and racers, usually to watch the drivers test their street cars against each other.

In Lexington Park several years ago, a State Trooper stopped two local men racing at 95 mph on Rt. 235 just north of the Naval Air Station.  One man should have known better as his father, who is president of the local fire department, which has dedicated itself to helping many crashes and roadway trauma victims. These road racers called themselves the Masked Bandits and actually had the name of their racing gang emblazoned on the back windows of their fast cars.

In 2007, two motorcycles racing each other on Rt. 235 ended with one of them losing control near Wildewood Shopping Center and crashing, killing the driver.

Redneck racers in the south end of St. Mary’s County have routinely outrun police by using nitro in their hot rod cars.

Running from police on motorcycles doesn’t stop just with local heathens. Two men on their motorcycles ran from St. Mary’s Sheriff’s Deputies and State Troopers in the Mechanicsville area. They led them on a high-speed chase and finally pulled over for the cops near the Mechanicsville Post Office about ten years ago. The two men turned out to be Prince Georges County cops.

People standing in the middle of the highway in the middle of the night would seem somewhat out of the ordinary. Even for the wild land of Southern Maryland, this new habit of local idiots should seem bizarre, but unfortunately, it isn’t the first time.

A crowd gathered at the Mirage Bar in Clements decided to engage in an after-the-bar closed fight on a summer night fifteen years ago. While about 50 people were fighting in the middle of Rt. 5 at about 2 am, a truck came over the hill and plowed into that crowd, killing several people, one of them a 16-year-old boy who had been at the bar.

While the driver of the truck had been drinking enough to be later charged with DWI, the astounding reaction of many to the tragic event is that the driver was the only one at fault. Many readers expressed the view that the driver should have been able to see the brawl in the roadway in the middle of the night.

What explanation for this culture of crazed street racers and street brawlers and their expectations for their activities in the middle of dark highways which will continue to be challenged by traffic, may be provided perhaps with a tractor-trailer someday wiping out a couple of dozen of these bozos, giving further proof to Darwin’s Theory.

WHEN THE CORPSES HIT THE PAVEMENT AT CAR MEET

The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit is investigating a double fatal shooting at a car meet in Accokeek. The victims are 48-year-old Sheldon Proctor of Waldorf and 55-year-old Patrick Savoy of Charlotte Hall, MD. A third victim, an adult male, was also shot. His injuries are not considered life-threatening. A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case.

Savoy, (DOB 03/19/1969) of 12235 Garnell Place, Charlotte Hall, was sentenced to jail in Charles County, Maryland, at various times for assault, DUI, and driving while suspended and revoked. In 1999, Savoy entered a guilty plea to possession with the intent to sell drugs in Charles County and was sentenced to two years and six months in prison. Court records show that Savoy twice attempted to change his name in legal proceedings filed in Charles County.

Regularly scheduled car shows are routine in the Southern Maryland area with one sponsored and held in a large field next to Adams Funeral Home in Aquasco. Promos for the Quartermasters Car Show were posted on Facebook by a friend or relative of Sheldon Proctor on June 9, 2024.

On June 13, 2024, at approximately 11:45 pm, officers responded to a shooting at a car meet in a shopping center parking lot in the 7000 block of Berry Road. When officers arrived, they located Proctor and Savoy suffering from gunshot wounds. They were both pronounced dead on the scene. The third victim had already left the scene and drove himself to a hospital for treatment.

Detectives are actively working to determine a motive and identify a suspect(s).

Anyone with information on this case who would like to speak to a Homicide Unit detective may call 301-516-2512.
