The Washington County Special Response Team took three people into custody following a 90-minute standoff Friday night at a home on Guilford Avenue in Hagerstown. In a news release issued early Saturday, the Hagerstown Police Department identified the three as Jacob Malachi Adams, 21, of Hagerstown; Andre Isiash-Robert Washington, 18, of Hagerstown; and Torez Anthony Tanner, 29, of Hagerstown. Adams was charged with various handgun violations, drug trafficking charges and burglary, while Washington and Tanner each were charged with one count of fourth-degree burglary, according to the release.

Hagerstown Police respond to incidents The Hagerstown Police Department responded to the following incidents, according to spokeswoman Barbara Pickett: Dec. 6:  A red Tomos moped was reported stolen in the 100 block of East Baltimore Street.  A domestic incident was reported in the 12900 block of Little Elliot Drive.  Money was reported stolen in the 1300 block of South Potomac Street.  A wallet was reported stolen in the 1300 block of Jay Drive.

There was nothing new to report Thursday in the investigation of a burglary earlier this week that left one person with a gunshot wound to the foot, Hagerstown Police Chief Arthur Smith said. Smith said the incident remained under investigation. "The things we're doing on that we can't release," Smith said. Police said earlier this week that the burglary occurred Monday shortly after 11 p.m., when one to three males entered an apartment at 460 Summit Ave. with a handgun.

Proposed traffic-calming measures on Summit Avenue met with some concern Monday from affected residents. “We don't want to give up the use of our property,” Cindy Vaverchak said. “It seems like a safety issue to me,” added Charles Stockslager. After about an hour of discussion, members of the Historic City Park Neighborhoods 1st group, which petitioned for control on the street, and the residents appeared to have reached a compromise. At the neighborhood group's request for a solution to speeding on Summit Avenue, the city proposed adding a small traffic circle at the intersection of Summit and Reynolds avenues, and to add two medians in the 600 block of Summit Avenue to slow traffic.

Residents on Summit Avenue in Hagerstown will have their say on whether or not the city installs medians and circles to slow traffic on the residential street. Under the city of Hagerstown's residential traffic-calming policy, adopted in October 2010, at least 75 percent of affected residents must approve the plan for it to move forward. Historic City Park Neighborhoods 1st has welcomed affected residents to its meeting Monday at 7 p.m. at Emmanuel United Methodist Church at 802 Summit Ave. in Hagerstown, where city staff members will answer questions about the proposed changes.

An accident in the 100 block of Summit Avenue in Hagerstown Thursday morning apparently pushed a parked Nissan pickup truck through a laundromat parking lot, over a curb and across a grassy strip, where it came to rest behind the laundromat, according to a witness. The driver of a northbound Chevrolet Aveo, Sabrina Sherie Shank, 25, of 10724 Downsville Pike, Hagerstown, left her lane of travel and struck the pickup truck, according to Sgt. Eric Knode of the Hagerstown Police Department.
