An initial report of a suicidal person led the Queen Anne’s County Sheriff’s Office to two arrests and the seizure of more than $20,000 worth of drugs and over $11,000 in cash in Grasonville on February 18. Police were called to a home on Maple Drive after receiving a report of a possibly suicidal person holding a gun. While trying to determine that person’s condition, Sgt. Morris Jones and Dfc.
