BALTIMORE -- Anne Arundel and Baltimore counties are among 10 school districts in the state sharing $35,000 in grants to help improve nutrition education and the eating habits of students.

The grants were awarded as part of the Healthy School Meals, Healthy Children program, a joint project of the State Department of Education and the Maryland Cooperative Extension Service.

Appeals court limits length of police traffic stops

ANNAPOLIS

ANNAPOLIS -- Police cannot detain a motorist they stop for a minor traffic violation -- even though they are watching him for suspected drug dealing -- longer than necessary to handle the traffic violation, the Court of Special Appeals ruled yesterday.

The ruling overturns the Baltimore County drug conviction of Plevon V. Pryor, who was stopped for speeding and kept waiting for a drug-sniffing dog to arrive.
