Laurel police arrest woman for driving through Main Street Festival
Laurel police say they stopped a woman as she purposely drove on a closed road through crowds of people getting ready for the start of the Main Street Festival.
Officials told News4 no festival goers were hurt. An officer had minor injuries but is expected to be okay.
Police say The woman, 28-year-old Kai DeBerry-Bostick, was warned multiple times not to drive through closed roads, but she ignored their commands, police said.
Her car was parked within the perimeter of the festival and she insisted she had to get out to go to work.
Officials released body worn camera video showing the officer’s interaction with the woman before she pulled down the yellow tape and took off.
An officer could be heard offering to call her a taxi before she started driving. As she drove, an officer could be heard repeatedly shouting, “Stop” and “Get out of the car.”
Another video shot by a vendor at the festival showed how the incident ended: police pulled DeBerry-Bostick out of her car and leading her away in handcuffs
“I just didn’t know where this was coming from,” said Richard Friend, who shot the video of her arrest. “A bizarre way to start our morning for sure.”
It happened near his Laurel History Boys booth at the festival.
“Hearing the commotion of people yelling “stop,” hearing her blow the horn, you immediately go to the worst case scenario, you’re thinking someone is gonna drive through the crowd,” Friend said. “But she was driving very slowly. We even thought, so not one of those, but didn’t know what was happening.”
Two weeks ago, Montgomery County police stopped a woman who allegedly tried to drive through a 10K race route.
Friend said he didn’t feel DeBerry-Bostick was trying to hurt anyone.
“we’re with the Laurel History Boys, so we’re all about history. This is the first time in 44 years of the Main Street Festival that we’ve had an incident like that,” Friend said.
Police say DeBerry-Bostick is facing multiple charges including assault resisting arrest and reckless endangerment.

Maintenance personnel and law enforcement officials remained at the scene into the early hours of Tuesday as authorities assessed the aircraft and investigated the circumstances surrounding the landing.
See what a ‘super’ El Niño could bring
USA TODAY Network reporter Brandi D. Addison breaks down what a strong El Niño could mean for weather patterns across the country.
It may be the middle of July, but the Old Farmer’s Almanac is already looking ahead to the fall with cooler temperatures ahead.
The Almanac, which has been one of the most trusted weather prediction sources for more than two centuries, recently released its fall forecast, showing a wide range of weather throughout the United States.
But what about in the Washington DC region? Here’s what the Almanac says.
What is the fall weather forecast in the Washington DC area?
DC sits along the Almanac’s Atlantic Corridor, and that region should expect a “cool, dry” fall, according to the forecast.
“Expect cooler and wetter conditions than usual this fall,” the Old Farmer’s Almanac says. “Below average temperatures are forecast, along with an uptick in precipitation over traditional averages.”
Last year, DC received 6.53 inches of rain during September, October and November — significantly lower than the city’s 30-year average of 10.50 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
September’s average temperature was 72.2 degrees, with October at 60.3 and November at 49.9 degrees. The season had an average temperature of 60.8 degrees, slightly below the 30-year average of 61.0 degrees.
What does the Farmer’s Almanac say about winter in Washington DC?
In its long-range forecast, the Almanac forecasts above average temperatures this winter in DC with snowfall below normal.
“The coldest periods will occur in mid- to late-December and early and late January,” it says. “The snowiest periods will be in late December, early January, and late February.”
The Old Farmer’s Almanac says it is 80% accurate, but a 2017 University of Illinois study found it to be just 52% accurate.
