On Sunday, May 15, 2022, 4th District officers responded to the 3300 block of North Leisure World Blvd. for the report of a suspicious situation.

The investigation by officers determined that Kinsey was operating a grey Barwood Taxi sedan when he approached the main gate of the Leisure World community and identified himself to the security guard as a Montgomery County Police Officer. He then entered the Leisure World community.


Clarksburg Boys Volleyball recently won back-to-back county championships. The team lost its first match of the year at Churchill High School, 3-2. Since that match the team didn’t lose a single set (42-0) on the way to becoming repeat Champions.

The Coyotes became back-to-back champions after taking the third set against WJ earlier in the week (25-23). Coach Dickinson and the team ended the regular season going 10-1.


Construction is ongoing on the 7.24 acres located approximately 0.30 miles southwest of I-270, 1.5 miles from Little Bennett Regional Park and Clarksburg Town Center; and directly north of West Old Baltimore.  The Subject Property is directly across the realigned Clarksburg Road (MD121) from the Clarksburg Premium Outlets and a new and very familiar tenant has signed on- Popeyes.

Popeyes has made plenty of recent moves within Montgomery County, recently opening new locations in Briggs Chaney, Downtown Silver Spring, and Gaithersburg. The fried chicken chain announced last month that it is set to open more than 200 new locations in the United States and Canada this year with additional locations in several other places around the world. Over half of the new Popeyes locations that are scheduled to open in 2022 will feature double drive-thrus, but it’s still unclear whether or not this location will have a drive-thru.
