     The south bound lane of McMullen Hwy. in area of I-68 was closed for approximately 20 minutes during the incident.  Troopers from the Maryland State Police along with Officers from the Cumberland City Police Department assisted during this incident.

     Additional charges are being applied for on Hatfield by the Sheriff's Office.
