Maryland State Police, along with Cecil County Sheriff Deputies, conducted a police action on Friday morning near 2805 Stonegate Boulevard in Elkton, Maryland.
According to emergency alerts sent to area residents around 8:45 a.m., police were searching for a Black male, approximately 5’11” to 6’ tall, wearing a dark hoodie and blue jeans.
