We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

According to initial findings, Charles County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a 911 call around 3 p.m. on December 20 regarding a reported kidnapping and sexual assault in progress at a residence on Tottenham Drive. Upon arrival, deputies reportedly saw a masked man inside the home. A confrontation later unfolded in the property’s garage, where deputies discharged their weapons, striking the individual. The man was transported to a local hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after.
Authorities have not disclosed the identities of the man or the deputies involved. The IID typically releases such information within two business days, though that timeline can be extended as needed.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Some of the deputies involved were equipped with body-worn cameras, which captured footage of the incident. Per protocol, the IID plans to release the footage within 20 business days unless additional time is required to address investigative needs or shield witness identities. The circumstances leading to the shooting remain under investigation.
