ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- A Maryland man has been arrested and charged with making threats against the state's House speaker, Senate president and an Anne Arundel County councilman.

Police say Paul David Grimm was arrested Friday. Police say Grimm was upset over a stormwater management pond in his community. Police say Grimm was visited at his home Wednesday by Anne Arundel County Councilman Dick Ladd. Police say Grimm pointed his finger at Ladd and made threatening statements.
