A Baltimore police officer who arrested a young Virginia couple who claim they were asking for directions after getting lost in a South Baltimore neighborhood stated in a report that the driver argued with her and tried to tear a ticket out of a citation book. Officer Natalie N. Preston wrote in police documents that, after she ticketed the driver for running a stop sign on Round Road in Cherry Hill, the man held onto her pen before she grabbed it back and that he then refused to leave, prompting her to arrest him and his girlfriend on suspicion of trespassing on public housing property and failing to obey a lawful order.

The top editor of USA Today said yesterday that the national newspaper will investigate any new, specific challenges to the reporting of disgraced former correspondent Jack Kelley. Its own inquiry into the veracity of several of his articles was shut down when Kelley was forced to resign last week after having acknowledged deceiving editors. "We'll look into any specific allegations that arise," USA Today Editor Karen Jurgensen said yesterday in an interview. "We have to let the situation play out. This was a very painful situation for our staff."

Maryland-bound Chris Kelley, the star quarterback from Seneca Valley, will have surgery in the next couple of weeks to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The injury could sideline Kelley, who had already decided to redshirt his freshman year, until next spring. Kelley sustained the injury as he was tackled on a keeper out of the shotgun late in the first quarter of Saturday's Super 44 high school all-star football game at W.T. Woodson High in Fairfax, Va. The hit did not appear extraordinarily hard, but it left Kelley lying on his back and clutching his left knee for several minutes.
