Westminster Police apprehend, charge Locust Lane robbery suspect

Westminster Police apprehend, charge Locust Lane robbery suspect

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Westminster, Maryland 21157
(410) 848-1638

On August 24, 2009 at approximately 10:40 p.m. officers were dispatched to the area of Locust Lane in Westminster for the report of an armed robbery which had just occurred. Upon arrival they contacted the victim, Jose Gomez, who is the owner of the Lilly’s Mexican Mart located at 39 East Main Street. Mr. Gomez reported that he, his wife and 5-year old son had closed the business and were walking through Locust Lane on the way to their vehicle when the robbery occurred.

According to Gomez, they were approached from behind by a white male who threatened them with a knife and demanded their money. Mr. Gomez turned over his cash at which time the suspect fled on foot toward Main Street. Gomez described the suspect as a tall slender white male with short hair and a prominent nose. The suspect was also wearing distinctive clothing the time of the robbery.

Another officer working at the time of the robbery recognized the suspect description as an individual he had encountered earlier in the evening. A photo array was prepared and the victim ultimately identified the suspect, Ronald Lee Foy, 27 years of age of Westminster, as the individual who robbed him. Officers located Foy on foot on West Main Street at approximately 1:20 a.m. and took him into custody without incident. The currency taken in the robbery was subsequently recovered on his person.

In a post-arrest interview, Mr. Foy made several statements implicating him in the robbery. He has subsequently been charged with armed robbery, theft and related charges. He is currently incarcerated in the Carroll County Detention Center in lieu of a $50,000.00 bond.

Bush Presidential Center is advancing the ideals of freedom, opportunity, responsibility and compassion through study of the Bush presidency and ongoing research, discussion and scholarship. The Bush Presidential Center uniquely integrates the records of a Presidential Library and Museum, the intellectual capital of a policy institute and the resources of an independent foundation.

The Bush Presidential Center will be set on the campus of a rising national university, in a major metropolitan city in the heartland of the country. It will be the focal point of George and Laura Bush’s continuing commitment to the ideals that are the touchstone of their public service.

SMU: Home of the George W. Bush Presidential Center http://smu.edu/bushlibrary/


Former President George W. Bush visits with students after speaking to a journalism class on April 29. Earlier in the day, he had lunch with SMU Hunt and President's Scholars.

As the George W. Bush Foundation continues working on plans for the former president's library, museum and institute, located at SMU, some students are already encountering him on campus.

In recent weeks, Bush has spoken to political science and journalism classes at the invitation of professors. SMU President R. Gerald Turner also invited Bush to have lunch with Hunt and President's Scholars, and Bush has held impromptu discussions and signed autographs for students in hallways and on campus. (Read more about his visits on Feb. 24 and April 29.)

"I have always wanted to meet him since he was the governor of Texas and now, thanks to SMU, I have had the opportunity twice this semester," said President's Scholar Jessica Pecena, a senior from Grand Prairie who, along with other student scholars, had lunch with Bush on April 29.

"My favorite part of the luncheon was when he asked what we were planning to do in the future. He seemed genuinely interested in us,” said Pecena, who is majoring in anthropology and psychology.

This web site includes announcements and information on the library center selection process, SMU facts and links to other sources.

1. Top Story: Arrest Over Software Illuminates Wall St. Secret
----------------------------------------

Flying home to New Jersey from Chicago after the first two days at his
new job, Sergey Aleynikov was prepared for the usual inconveniences of
air travel. He was not expecting to be arrested by an F.B.I. agent upon
landing and accused with stealing software code from Goldman Sachs, his
old employee.

At a bail hearing last month, a federal prosecutor asked that Mr.
Aleynikov be held without bond because the code could be used to
"unfairly manipulate" stock prices.

This case is still in its earliest stages, and some lawyers question
whether Mr. Aleynikov should be prosecuted criminally, or whether a
civil suit may be more appropriate. But the charges, along with civil
cases in Chicago and New York involving other Wall Street firms, offer
a glimpse into the turbulent world of ultrafast computerized stock
trading, The New York Times writes.

Little understood outside the securities industry, the business has
suddenly become one of the most competitive and controversial on Wall
Street. At its heart are computer programs that take years to develop
and are treated as closely guarded secrets.

EAGLE ARCHIVE By Kevin Dayhoff Posted 8/23/09

Recently I have had the opportunity to travel several times to the western reaches of our fare county and one of my favorite destinations, Union Bridge.

It's a great drive through the beautiful Carroll countryside, and once you arrive in Union Bridge you find yourself in a community steeped in tradition and history. It's always fun to take a walk on its historic Main Street, lined with older homes, and eat at the Buttersburg Inn.

Of course, truth be told, history is only one reason for my love of Union Bridge. Eating is another.
