Pastor Harrell Braddock Jr. asked teens on the First United Methodist Church’s Youth mission trip to reflect daily on seeing God in the world as they worked and played in Utopia this summer.
Olney police officers were busy with drug arrests in July with K9 Officer Bond, his handler Officer Miranda Wright, and other officers racking up 14 drug arrests - mainly after stopping drivers for traffic violations or for having outstanding warrants, Chief Dan Birbeck said. Some of the highlights of the OPD’s month of drug busts include: A 51-year-old man arrested on July 2 for possession of a controlled substance after he was pulled over for having an expired vehicle registration.
