Indicted under new carjacking law in Maryland
A federal grand jury charged Robert William Ford of Oxon Hill and Keith Milton Austin of Washington with armed carjacking in the February 7 robbery of a 1990 Mercedes from a Montgomery County man. They are the first in the District of Maryland under the federal statute signed by President Bush last October 25. The case cites the new law’s cross state line scope and longer federal sentences with no parole.

Teen gets probation for bomb threat incident
A 17 year old Phoenix youth was found delinquent on charges of false statement assault and battery and resisting arrest after claiming a bomb was planted on a Boeing 737 bound for Charlotte. An airline employee Stephen Ware said the youth's probation feels like no accountability and he lost work after being struck. Authorities towed the plane and swept for bombs delaying the flight two hours but no device was found.
