Two to head U.S. attorney's team on violent crimes
3
Two men have been named heads of the Maryland U.S. attorney's office's Violent Crimes Section, which oversees prosecutions and investigations of violent repeat offenders and gangs. Michael Hanlon, deputy chief since the fall, is now chief of the section, replacing Jason Weinstein, who left the office to join the U.S. attorney general's office as a deputy assistant in the Criminal Division. Kwame Manley, who is a prosecutor in a federal death penalty trial that went to the jury Tuesday, will become deputy chief. Hanlon has consistently been among the most productive and hardest-working federal prosecutors in Maryland, U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein said. Manley has handled many of the office's high-profile cases.

A Calvert County man died Monday after he was thrown from his car in a single-vehicle accident in southern Anne Arundel County, according to police. Horace M. Adams, 81, of the 2100 block of Regent Court in Dunkirk was driving south about 11:40 a.m. on Southern Maryland Boulevard near Plummer Lane in Lothian, police said. For unknown reasons, his 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis left the road and struck a guardrail, according to police, before re-entering Southern Maryland Boulevard. Adams was thrown from the passenger's side, and the car drifted through the median and across the southbound lanes before crashing into trees, police said. Adams was taken to Calvert Memorial Hospital, where he died. Investigators determined that driver error caused the crash, police said.
