Sheriff's Office Hosts Cops and Bobbers Fishing Event

The St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office took children fishing over the weekend in its first Cops and Bobbers event.

Deputies, Chaplains and members of the Lexington Park COPS Unit hosted selected students from Carver Elementary School, Lexington Park Elementary School and Spring Ridge Middle School at no cost to the children.

The fish were biting Saturday morning at Sanner's Lake Sportsmen's Club in Lexington Park as the children caught largemouth bass, crappie and sunfish.

The St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office plans on hosting another Cops and Bobbers event in the spring. The office thanks the many sponsors for the event.

Lindsay Williams, 8-year-old student at Carver Elementary School, has her catch measured.

10-year-old Gene Williams of Great Mills brings in a bass with Sheriff's Office Chaplain Charlie Wharton. 
Brandon Young, 10 of Lexington Park, fishes with Cpl. Vincent Pontorno at Sanner's Lake.
