Annapolis police are investigating a double shooting Sunday night that has left one victim in critical condition. Officers responded to a report of a shooting at 11:30 p.m. to Medgar Evers Street near Frederick Douglas Street in the Eastport Terrace neighborhood. They found two adult men suffering from gunshot wounds. The 22-year-old victim, who was shot in the head, back and buttocks, was flown to University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center and remains in critical condition. The other victim, 27, was shot in the back.

A man trying to escape police jumped from a sixth-story hospital window in Annapolis Friday afternoon, landing on a rooftop three stories below. The jump caused life-threatening injuries to Bradly L. Poure, 40, who was flown from Anne Arundel Medical Center to Maryland Shock Trauma Center for treatment, officials said. As of 11 p.m. Saturday, he was in listed in critical condition, according to the hospital.

Annapolis police charged a 37-year-old Glen Burnie man Friday with threatening a state official. James Armstead also faces two counts of phone misuse. The charges stem from phone calls Armstead made Tuesday to the Anne Arundel County Office of Child Support Enforcement in Annapolis. Armstead called the office and threatened to kill employees and himself. The suspect spoke of a "Batman"-style shooting, referring to the Aurora, Colo., movie theater incident last month, police said.

Parked in Anne Arundel County and Annapolis are cars with tempting stuff in plain sight: a GPS unit on the dashboard, a cellphone on the console, a handbag with a wallet visible in it on the floor behind the driver's seat. But it isn't just would-be thieves looking to see what's in the car and tugging on its door handles. Police are doing it too, in programs aimed at stopping thefts from parked vehicles. Police from both jurisdictions recently walked through parking lots and neighborhoods, finding numerous cars in which items that would catch a thief's eye were in plain sight: keys, cash, bicycles, financial paperwork, even a washer-dryer unit for an RV. In the recent walk-throughs, only about one in every 10 cars was unlocked, though police say in some neighborhoods that number is likely nine of 10. "My purse is in there," Kim Harris said when Anne Arundel County police Cpl. Brian Carney asked her whether she had left anything of value in view after she locked her car in the lot at Big Vanilla Athletic Club in Pasadena on a recent evening.

A 27-year-old Takoma Park man, who drove women to locations in the Annapolis area for the purposes of prostitution, has been charged with numerous counts of human trafficking and prostitution. Freddy Leguisamon was arrested last month by Annapolis police, after an investigation that combined the efforts of several law enforcement and government agencies. He faces 54 counts of general prostitution, eight counts of receiving compensation from human trafficking, five counts of taking another person to a place for the purpose of human trafficking, and four counts of operating a prostitution business.

Annapolis police seized what they called a "significant" amount of drugs in two simultaneous drug raids Wednesday that also netted loaded handguns and led to the arrests of two men. Seized from one home in the 100 block of W. Washington St. were about 144 grams of heroin, two handguns, two boxes of ammunition and 151 grams of marijuana. The value of the drugs was estimated at nearly $32,000, according to police. Cortez Marshall, 19, of Annapolis was arrested on the scene. And in a home in the first block of Pleasant St., police seized more than 8 grams of heroin and less than a gram of cocaine.

A man told Annapolis police he was riding his bicycle on Sunday on Calvert Street near Rowe Boulevard when four or five men approached him and one knocked him off his bicycle. The bicyclist told police that around 2:30 a.m. an assailant in a group of several men struck him the face, knocking him off his bicycle. The victim ran away, leaving his bicycle and phone, police said. When he returned, both his red Jeep Comanche mountain bicycle and his cell phone, a black Verizon slider-type cell phone, were gone, police said.

Annapolis has been experiencing a rash of motor scooter thefts as the weather has heated up this summer. Owners have reported some that vanished minutes after they were parked; others were recovered in such bad shape that they were no longer drivable. Police have even recovered scooters they believe were stolen but hadn't yet been reported missing. Police said that in May and June, they received reports of 13 stolen scooters and one attempted theft. They expect scooter thefts to continue through the summer, because that's when the small vehicles get the most use. Barely any are reported stolen during the winter months.

Just as the temperatures were about to soar into the 90s, Annapolis police said a city resident reported his snowball maker was apparently stolen. Police said Wednesday that a resident of the 1800 block of Robert Small Road came to the police station Monday to say that his Sno Master machine was gone from the locked storage room of his basement last Saturday. He had placed it in there in April. There were no signs of forced entry, and family members, who have access to that room, said they had no knowledge about a theft of the equipment, according to police.
