On July 21, 2025, at about 11:40 p.m., Frederick County Sheriff’s deputies stopped a dark-colored car on I-70 eastbound near Green Valley Road after a report of erratic driving and recovered a stolen handgun — a Beretta 9mm with seven live rounds in the magazine — before arresting two suspects — Willie James Robinson, 30, and Deshawn Bishop Manning, 21 — who were taken to the Adult Detention Center for processing.

Tourism in Frederick County is booming as families and visitors explore its rich Civil War history—local museums and preserved battle sites attract people and support nearly $452 million in revenue while sustaining around 6,400 jobs.

This growth boosts the local economy and tax revenue.
