The day after an emotional Anne Arundel County Council meeting ended without a selection to fill the open District 1 seat, council members said they remained firm in their positions but were hoping to end the stalemate before they reconvene Tuesday. The council met Thursday night to fill the position vacated by former Councilman Daryl D. Jones, who began serving a five-month federal prison term last month. The 41/2-hour meeting was marked by shouting, a racial slur, accusations of bullying and a 3-3 deadlocked vote over two candidates.

The councilman who has sponsored legislation that would allow the County Council to replace Daryl D. Jones when he reports to prison later this month is predicting the move will sail through when the panel meets Tuesday. Councilman John J. Grasso, who introduced a resolution that would declare Jones' council seat vacant, said he expects passage for either his resolution or a similar measure — an outcome that would almost certainly send the issue to court. "It's over with," said Grasso, a Glen Burnie Republican who has pushed for Jones to resign.

As Anne Arundel County Councilman Daryl D. Jones weighs whether to resign before he serves a five-month federal prison sentence, the county attorney has issued a pointed letter that calls into question Jones' ability to keep his seat. County Attorney Jonathan A. Hodgson wrote in a memorandum that the council can move to replace Jones when he begins his prison term Jan. 23 because he will no longer live in his district. Hodgson's statement, dated Dec. 1, came in response to an inquiry from then-Council Chairman Richard B. "Dick" Ladd.

An Anne Arundel councilman was sentenced to five months in federal prison Monday on a charge that he failed to file nearly three dozen personal and business tax returns over a six-year period. Councilman Daryl D. Jones, a Democrat from Severn who is a practicing criminal defense attorney, was also sentenced to one year of supervised probation and six months of home detention during an emotionally charged hearing held in U.S. District Court in Baltimore. "This has been an extremely embarrassing and humbling experience," said Jones, speaking to the judge.

Finally, and I mean finally! Sunday night's installment of "The Walking Dead" was the midseason finale, and it took almost 50 minutes into the episode, titled "Pretty Much Dead Already," to get there, but we finally got some of the satisfaction that we were waiting for. Up until that last ten minutes, though, I was starting to worry that we were in for another cliffhanger where the characters are standing around with concerned looks on their faces...

Things have started getting pretty heavy in "The Walking Dead," not that it was a game of Candy Land before this week's episode, titled "Save the Last One" (referring to a bullet, in case the zombies catch you, so you can go out on your own terms and not theirs!) If you haven't watched the episode yet, you might not want to read any further because I'm about to discuss some fairly significant plot developments. Lori Grimes, a.k.a Debbie Downer , strongly considered letting her firstborn son perish so he could stop enduring the endless nightmare, and Shane Walsh took a serious heel turn , capping poor, fat Otis and letting him get devoured by walkers.

An Anne Arundel County councilman pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to a charge that he failed to file several personal and business tax returns over the course of six years. Councilman Daryl D. Jones, a Democrat from Severn who is serving his second four-year term on the council, entered the plea in Baltimore before U.S. District Judge Ellen L. Hollander. Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory Bockin said in court that Jones, a defense attorney in private practice, failed to file both his personal and payroll tax between 2002 and 2007.
