Pattern of crime at the parkland
Last month, the park closed temporarily after a bomb threat was reported by the Maryland State Police. County police searched the parkland and did not find any explosives.
Officers also stopped a sexual assault incident at Glasgow Park in early May when a 48-year-old man from Newark was pulled over with a 14-year-old-girl in his car. He was charged with sexual solicitation of a child.
