The McHenry barrack of the Maryland State Police is investigating a series of what they term “derogatory signs” in the 36000-block of the Garrett Highway in Accident. Five signs were placed on both sides of the road, in the vicinity of Devil’s Acre Road, and were put there sometime between Monday evening and Tuesday morning. The investigation is continuing, and anyone with information is asked to contact the McHenry barrack at (301)-387-1101. Callers may remain anonymous.
