Frederick ‘Preparing for Worst' in Case of G-8 Riots

Frederick police are urging property owners to be prepared in case unruly mobs descend on Frederick during the upcoming G-8 summit, as happened in some G-8 host cities.

Frederick will be one of the closest cities when President Obama hosts the leaders from eight of the world's largest economies at Camp David May 18 and 19, said Lt. Jason Keckler.

Protests have resulted in riots and "significant disruption to the operation of the host cities," a police news release stated.

"We're preparing for the worst," Keckler said in an interview.
