Baltimore medics mistakenly declare man dead BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore police say a burglary suspect mistakenly declared dead by medics after he was shot by an officer lay on a convenience store floor for half an hour before anyone noticed he was still alive. Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says 51-year-old Michael Quarles was shot early Saturday when he lunged at an officer with a long screwdriver. Guglielmi says the officer thought Quarles had a knife. Guglielmi says emergency medical technicians pronounced Quarles dead at the scene, then left.

The medics have been reassigned until an investigation is finished.

Police in Cumberland said Monday that Carson Corum may have been locked outside his apartment and tried to enter through the window. A neighbor saw a pair of legs dangling from the window Sunday but thought it was a prank and didn’t immediately call authorities. The neighbor did call Monday and police found the man dead. Sgt.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for selling hallucinogenic mushrooms to a teenager who was killed when she wandered naked into traffic. Steven Roman was sentenced Monday in Los Angeles after pleading guilty in April to felony drug charges. Prosecutors say the 31-year-old Westlake Village man sold psilocybin (sihloh-SY’-bin) mushrooms to teenagers at a Thousands Oaks condominium in 2004. One user, 17-year-old Victoria Nugent, walked naked onto U.S. 101 and was hit by a car. Roman was arrested last fall for allegedly selling the drug Ecstasy, but state charges in that case were dropped. Roman acknowledged his role in the 2004 death and apologized in court for Nugent’s death.

have said the accusations are unfounded. Mohammad was officially identified as the eighth suspect after federal prosecutors requested that the full indictment be made public. His name had been redacted from court papers made public last week, although law enforcement sources had told The Associated Press that he was the suspect. Prosecutors haven’t said whether the terror suspects had any specific timelines or targets, although the indictment said some of them took trips over the past three years to Jordan, Kosovo, Pakistan and Israel “to engage in violent jihad.� The indictment said the elder Boyd received terrorist training in Pakistan and Afghanistan two decades ago and, more recently, recruited followers in North Carolina. It also said he began stockpiling weapons and conducted military-style training at a rural site. Risueno said Mohammad went to Pakistan to visit his father, who lives there. He hasn’t talked with Mohammad and didn’t know how long his nephew planned to stay overseas. Earle Purser, a Raleigh attorney who represented Mohammad after he was charged in 2008 with driv-
