PHOTOS: DC AREA MUG SHOTS

Ross Brandon Sudbrook of Baltimore, Md. is charged with first...more degree assault, second degree assault, reckless endangerment and carrying a dangerous weapon with intent to injure stemming from a traffic incident on Monday afternoon.

It all began around 4 p.m. Monday at the intersection of Riedel Road and Route 3 North in Crofton. Witnesses say a man and woman in a Ford Explorer, who had just gotten married, were playing around at a red light -- getting out of their car, running around it and then getting back in, exchanging seats.

Witnesses say the people in the car next to them, a PT Cruiser, didn't appreciate that, so they started making obscene gestures at the married couple. That's when things started getting ugly.

LANDOVER, Md. (WUSA)  -- The woman who died when her car struck a KFC restaurant had a history of speeding, driving on a suspended license, and other traffic violations, court records show.

The driver has been identified as 29-year old Hellena Louise Smith of the 600-block of...more Chesapeake Ave. in Washington D. C.

Smith's black 1993 BMW sedan careened at high speed off Martin Luther King Highway in Landover and struck a KFC restaurant at the intersection with Sheriff Road at about 6:30 Monday night.

No one inside the restaurant was hurt, but the driver of a parked car that was struck was hospitalized for treatment.

Evidence at the scene suggests Smith may have begun losing control of her car more 200-yards from the KFC after striking a curb.  The car sped through a sidewalk bus stop, and the parking lot of a Citgo gas station before going airborne and hitting the restaurant.  One wheel from the car detached and left a crater in the side of the KFC

Terp Talk: Terps Struggle Offensively, lose to No. 22 UVA 71-44
Feb 18,2012 at 5:07 PM EST

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WUSA) -- Thirty-eight hours had elapsed between the end of Boston College win and the tip-off of today's game against the Virginia Cavaliers. With little rest and the fact that they had to travel, the Terps had reason to perform tortoise like. 

But that's all it...more is -- a reason. And it should not have been used as an excuse. Maryland's performance in the second half was so piss poor, head coach Mark Turgeon let every walk-on player on the team, all six of them, finish the game with 3:45 left to play. 

GRADE THE GAME

OFFENSE: D-

The Terps opened the game missing there first four shots. James Padgett would then air-ball a free throw before connecting on the second to put the Terps on the board, making the score 7-1. From that point on, I knew it was going to be a long game. Maryland did get their act together by the end of the first half, making six buckets from behind the arc. Actually, three pointers were all they could hit
