Woman loses wedding rings while visiting downtown Nashville
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – A fun weekend in Nashville ended with heartbreak for a Maryland woman after she lost her wedding rings.
Lauren Bolewski came to Nashville to attend the Post Malone concert Saturday night at Nissan Stadium with friends and family.
She said she remembers having her rings throughout the concert but after leaving the stadium, she still needed help putting the puzzle pieces together.
Bolewski said after leaving the stadium, she walked toward the pedestrian bridge to Barlines inside the Omni Nashville Hotel. She used pictures taken on Saturday night as a photo map to retrace her steps.

She said a photo from outside the stadium at 11:32 p.m. shows that her rings are still on her finger, but around 12:30 a.m. the stacked set is missing.
She had to board a plane back to Maryland Sunday morning empty-handed.
After sharing her story on Facebook, Bolewski said a woman is organizing a group with metal detectors to search the area near the pedestrian bridge and going towards the Omni Nashville Hotel.
“That’s insane to me that there’s people out there that would do something like that for a stranger. It makes like my heart….I don’t want to cry. I’ve been crying for like, literally, 24 hours. I don’t even know,” Bolewski said.
Bolewski said she contacted Stadium Security, the Metro Nashville Police Department, the Omni hotel, and even Post Malone’s team about her lost wedding rings but hasn’t had any luck.

University of Maryland football player arrested for harassment
A University of Maryland (UMD) football player was arrested for harassment, according to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office.
Dontay Joyner, a defensive back and rising senior at UMD, was charged with telephone misuse for making repeated calls, electronic communications harassment, and violating release conditions, a misdemeanor offense, according to court records.
Joyner’s attorney is calling the ordeal “outrageous,” saying “[Joyner] has been locked in a cage in Harford County for seven nights after being charged with a misdemeanor for telephone misuse for texting his longtime girlfriend during an argument. This is simply outrageous.”
Joyner’s attorney, Former Attorney General Douglas Gansler, said the 21-year-old has never been in trouble with the law and does not own a handgun. According to Gansler, Joyner’s girlfriend is “fully supportive of him and does not want to press charges.”
According to the UMD Terps website, Joyner is a Lakeland, Florida, native who previously attended Arkansas State. In the spring, Joyner was given the Nick Cross Defensive Back Award in a tradition that honors “past terrapin greats.”
According to court records, Joyner was held without bond.
WJZ has reached out to UMD officials for comment.

Open primaries advocates push D.C. and Maryland to expand voter access
Open primaries advocate Jeremy Gruber says nearly 100,000 independent voters in D.C. remain locked out of primary elections despite voters overwhelmingly approving open primaries in 2024. On The Final 5 with Jim Lokay, he blames the D.C. Council for refusing to fund the change and says similar efforts are gaining momentum in Maryland, where more than one million independents are also excluded from primaries. Gruber argues that in many one-party jurisdictions, the primary is effectively the election, making voter access even more critical.
