Dereck E. Davis sworn in as Maryland State Treasurer
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Dereck E. Davis was sworn in on Tuesday as Treasurer of the State of Maryland for a four-year time period.
Davis initially took workplace again in December 2021. He accomplished the time period of former Treasurer Nancy Kopp.
“It has been an honor and privilege to serve the residents of Maryland these previous 14 months,” mentioned Treasurer Davis. “I thank the members of the Normal Meeting for his or her vote of confidence and stay dedicated to appearing as a accountable steward of taxpayer {dollars} and guaranteeing that the state receives full worth for our investments.”
Governor Wes Moore and Lieutenant Governor Aruna Miller each took to Twitter to congratulate Davis.
Proud to hitch mates and leaders for the swearing in of Treasurer Davis at this time.
Mr. Treasurer, congratulations in your reelection and thanks on your management. I’m excited to proceed working collectively to construct a extra affluent and equitable Maryland. pic.twitter.com/Dvj2580RDO

Since taking workplace, Davis outlined 4 priorities.
- Preserving Maryland’s AAA bond ranking
- Supporting minority companies
- Encouraging monetary literacy
- and modernizing the Officer’s insurance policies and practices.
Throughout this legislative session, Treasurer Davis proposed three payments that may enable the workplace to conduct its enterprise in a extra environment friendly and efficient method.
The incident happened at around 7:15 p.m., when officers responded to the 8500 block of Loch Raven Blvd following multiple reports of a shooting, Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough said.
“This is an incident that is shocking, particularly for those of us in Baltimore County,” Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski said. “These types of incidents are really unheard of here, so it really shocks the conscience.”
The first officer to arrive on the scene found a vehicle on its side that had caught fire, Mccullough said.
The Baltimore County Fire Department was called to the scene, where they put out the fire, treated victims and transported them to a hospital, said Baltimore County Fire Department Chief Joseph Dixon.
BCPD believes the shooting was a targeted incident and there is no threat to the public.
BCPD is currently investigating and is asking anyone with information about the shooting to contact them.
The Baltimore County Fire Department and the Baltimore Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are also on the scene assisting police.

Maryland man sentenced for assaulting police during Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol insurrection
BALTIMORE — A Fredrick County man was sentenced Tuesday for assaulting police officers during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
According to prosecutors, Adam Ryan Obest, 43, of Thurmont attended the “Stop the Steal” rally before going to the Captiol’s Lower West Terrace.
Video footage showed Obest holding a large American flag attached to a metal flagpole, and swinging it at police officers after being told not to advance up a stairway.
Minutes later, Obest engaged in another confrontation with police, raising the lagpole above his head and bringing it down abruptly toward a line of police officers before another officer tried to confiscate the flagpole.
He also attempted to take a baton from a Metropolitan Police Department officer and later threw a smoke grenade at law enforcement, according to court documents.
In June 2023 detectives identified Obest as a suspect, matching photos from his social media account to photos captured of him at the Million MAGA March in November 2020. The photos showed an American glag tattoo on his left shoulder, which resembled a similar tattoo shown in his booking photos from an unrelated arrest in 2018.
The FBI arrested Obest in Maryland on June 13, 2023. He was found guilty of two felony charges, including civil disorder, and one count of assaulting, resisting, or impeding a law enforcement officer.
Obest was sentenced to 18 months in prison and 36 months of supervised released.
