In Annapolis, a Telephone Tiff
The phone call that Police Chief Joseph S. Johnson placed yesterday morning to an Annapolis alderman was brief, maybe a minute long. On that point, both men agree.

Officer Linked to Gambling
During the day, Michael Anthony Thorn was a police officer in Howard County, where for 18 years he worked to uphold the law. At night, police say, Tykie Thorn was the manager and pit boss of an illegal Texas Hold 'Em poker casino run out of a warehouse in Anne Arundel County.
