KIDNAPPING: On May 28 at approximately 10 p.m., a 21-year-old
Baltimore man was in the parking lot of the St. Charles Towne Center
in the 11000 block of Mall Circle in Waldorf when a suspect
approached him and forced him into a vehicle, which is described as a
dark-colored early 90's model Pontiac Grand Am. The suspect assaulted
and shot the victim and left him in the 1800 block of Accokeek Road
in Prince George's County. A citizen located the victim and notified
the Prince George's County Police Department. The victim was flown to
Prince George's General Hospital where he is in stable condition.
During the course of the investigation, detectives identified a
suspect, Jacobi Marquette Williams, 17, of Waldorf. Detectives
obtained an arrest warrant for Williams on May 31, and the warrant
was served on June 2. Williams was charged with Attempted First
Degree Murder, First Degree Assault, Second Degree Assault, Reckless
Endangerment and Kidnaping.
Anyone with information or who may have witnessed the abduction is
asked to call Det. T. Miner at 301-609-6499.

Synopsis
Two couples have been close friends for 12 years-passing long nights
over dinner talking about their relationships and their children and
life in general. But when one couple announces its decision to
separate and the relationships between the four friends begin to
change, they find that their collective love of cooking may be the
one thing that can keep them together.
