Four teen-agers were hospitalized Sunday after the car in which they were riding smashed into a tree in Cape St. Claire, county police said.
Alison Martin, 17, of the 1200 block of Summerwood Court in Arnold and Christen Dixon, 16, both passengers, were in critical condition yesterday at Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. The driver, Larry Mason, 17, of the 500 block of President St. was in fair condition at Shock Trauma.
A third passenger, Nick Blackmon, 17, of the 300 block of Hillsmere Drive, was in stable condition at Anne Arundel Medical Center.
Police said the teen-agers were speeding north on Green Holly Drive just after 11 p.m. in a 1991 Dodge Shadow when the car crested a hill, flew into the air and landed at the bottom. It crested the next hill and flew into the air again, but the driver lost control and the car struck two trees.
Two cars had been jumping the hills on Green Holly Drive that night, according to witnesses.
Several neighbors had called police to complain about the speeding, police said.
A north Baltimore County man was in critical condition yesterday after four men pulled him from a go-kart in Eastport on Saturday, beat him, and took the go-kart.
Robert E. Stegman, 39, of the 21300 block of West Liberty Road was taken to Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, where he was treated for his injuries.
Stegman told police he was riding his friend's go-kart along Monroe Street near President Street about 2: 30 a.m. when he drove past four men who grabbed him and pulled him from the vehicle.
The men punched and kicked Stegman then took the go-kart and drove away, police said. Stegman walked to a friend's home in the 1000 block of Jackson St., gathered a few other friends, and they looked for the thieves, police said.
The men flagged down a police officer, who searched unsuccessfully for Stegman's attackers. Two hours later, Stegman's brother called 911 because Stegman was cold and sweating, police said.
Annapolis paramedics said the man was in shock, and they had him flown by MedEvac helicopter to Shock Trauma.
County police arrested a Brooklyn Park man on assault charges Saturday after he stumbled into Ritchie Highway and challenged an officer to a fight.
Officer Joseph Dubiel was patrolling on Ritchie Highway near Walton Avenue just after 9 p.m. when he saw a man stagger into the middle of the road, police said.
Dubiel told the man to get out of the road, but he refused, police said. Dubiel said he could smell alcohol on the man's breath, his speech was slurred and he could not walk straight, police said.
Dubiel got out of his car and told the man a second time to move, but the man took a fighting stance, raised both his fists and asked, 'Do you want to fight me?" police said.
Dubiel pulled out his nightstick as the man lunged and missed the officer. The second time the man lunged, Dubiel struck him in the legs with the nightstick, then arrested him, police said.
Joseph E. Frye, 29, of the 4600 block of Ritchie Highway was charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
Police interrupt craps game, arrest four teen-agers
County police arrested four Brooklyn Park teen-agers on gambling charges Friday after a bicycle patrol officer caught them allegedly shooting craps against a wall at Park Elementary School.
Officer Mike Belcher was near the school on 11th Avenue about 10 p.m. when he saw four teens on the east side of the building.
Belcher saw that they were gambling and called for fellow bike patrol Officer Eric Gennett and an officer in a patrol car to scare the youths away, police said.
When the patrol approached from the front of the building, the youths fled into the waiting arms of Belcher and Gennett, who arrested them and seized $431.

The three combatants told him they were arguing with another man about spitting when a fifth man approached the group, told them he was a police officer and threatened to arrest them, police said.
The man then pulled a rifle from the trunk of a blue Honda Accord and pointed it at them, police said.
Officers who had come to back up Shelton went inside the bar and returned moments later with a man fitting the description the others had given.
The man told police he was trying to help his friend and allowed officers to search his car.
