On June 18th early in the morning, Montgomery County Police responded near the intersection of Frederick Road and Indianola Drive in Rockville when a hit-and-run struck and killed an adult male pedestrian and the driver of a white Honda Accord was quickly apprehended near Frederick Road—Shady Grove Road.

Timothy Pack, 22, received a 15-year prison sentence for gross negligent manslaughter, second-degree assault and failure to render aid after he drove over 110 mph on Route 355 near Federal Plaza in Rockville—killing 25-year-old Jasmin Gimon and injuring his passenger when he fled the scene.

Montgomery County awarded $304K to six community organizations to help over 8,000 local families access nutrition benefits like SNAP—boosting support for food-insecure households.

The funding will expand outreach efforts so that more residents receive benefits such as WIC, SUN Bucks, and the Farmers Market Nutrition Program.
