OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) — Four Maryland men have been arrested after police say they observed a drug deal on the Ocean City Boardwalk.

Ocean City Police said Saturday that they received a call Thursday from a boardwalk business owner who said he saw the occupants of a parked car on 8th Street measuring white powder on a scale.

Undercover officers responded and police say they observed a drug transaction on the boardwalk.

Police say the men engaged in the transaction got into two cars and drove off before being stopped.

Four men from Prince George’s County were arrested on multiple charges.

Police say they seized heroin, powder cocaine, a digital scale, cash and a 9mm handgun.

Maryland Zoo’s lone female elephant moving as facility transitions to all-male herd

The Maryland Zoo is preparing to say goodbye to its only female African elephant as it changes to an all-male herd. Felix, a 43-year-old elephant who has lived at the Baltimore zoo for 19 years, will move to another facility later this week. Zoo officials said the move is in Felix’s best interest because it will give her opportunities to socialize with other female elephants. Her interaction with other females have been limited since the zoo’s other female elephant died in 2024. “We will all miss her but having social companionship in a female herd is the best thing for Felix’s overall well-being,” Mammal Curator Erin Cantwell Grimm said.
