Two men found dead in car in Bladensburg

Bladensburg police said they believe carbon monoxide poisoning killed two men who were found dead in a car. The two men in their 20s, who have not been identified pending notification of their families, were found in the car around 8:40 a.m. Sunday. Police said there were no signs of trauma and all signs indicate they died from carbon monoxide poisoning while sitting in a closed, non-ventilated car with the engine running. Police said it’s likely snow piled behind the car kept the tailpipe from properly emptying the engine’s fumes, filling the car with the deadly gas that killed the two men.



Md. man pleads guilty to cocaine trafficking

A 40-year-old Greenbelt has admitted to trafficking more than 10 pounds of cocaine around the Washington region, prosecutors said. Antoine Duane Terrell supplied low-level street dealers in Northern Virginia with cocaine, he admitted. After a series of controlled buys by law enforcement, Terrell was arrested outside the Beltway Plaza Mall in September by Fairfax County police officers. Inside a bag found in his car was $80,000. He faces up to 40 years in prison when he’s sentenced on April 16.
