🍕 A BIG THANK YOU TO MAMMA MIA’S 🍕

Sheriff Gary Hofmann recently had the pleasure of presenting Billy Gordon, owner of Mamma Mia’s Italian Bistro and Restaurant, with a Sheriff’s Citation in recognition of the restaurant’s generous support of law enforcement.

During a recent joint law enforcement operation in Kent County involving a shots-fired call, Mamma Mia’s generously donated 10 pizzas to our deputies working the operation. Their thoughtful gesture was appreciated but not expected and was a wonderful way to show appreciation for the men and women who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe.

“Gestures like this remind us just how fortunate we are to serve a community that cares about and supports its law enforcement officers,” added Sheriff Gary Hofmann. The pizzas were certainly enjoyed – and let’s be honest – who doesn’t love an amazing pizza? 🍕😊

From Sheriff Hofmann and everyone at the Queen Anne’s County Office of the Sheriff, thank you Mamma Mia’s for your incredible generosity, kindness, and support. We truly appreciate you! Our community’s support means so much to us! 💙👏🚔🍕

QUEEN ANNE’S COUNTY, MD – Friday, August 21st, 2026, Sheriff Gary Hofmann was on routine patrol in Stevensville, MD, when he observed a vehicle exiting WB Rt. 50, recklessly crossing multiple lanes of traffic, before taking the off-ramp onto NB Rt. 8 at speeds exceeding 75mph.

As the vehicle traveled North into the intersection of Rt. 8 and Skipjack Parkway, the driver ran a solid red traffic light, colliding with a motorist executing a legal left turn with the right-of-way. Two unmarked law enforcement vehicles with activated emergency lights and sirens were in pursuit of the vehicle and arrived at the intersection immediately following the collision.

Sheriff Hofmann, witnessing the crash, was immediately present on scene and began rendering assistance to the involved parties and requesting additional emergency services to the scene. The law enforcement officers in this pursuit, later identified as being Federal agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), requested medical evaluation of their suspect, which was provided.

Federal officers assisted in safely removing the man from the vehicle and rendered compassionate care to the victim. The man was later found to have sustained injuries resulting solely from the reckless operation of the vehicle.

Additional deputies from the Queen Anne’s County Office of the Sheriff responded to the scene to provide traffic assistance at the intersection. Law enforcement officers maintain a strict "Duty to Act" at any emergency scene, regardless of jurisdiction. Sheriff Gary Hofmann and responding deputies acted accordingly to secure the area, provide aid, and divert traffic to ensure public safety.

Sheriff Hofmann was not provided any specific details regarding the man’s underlying arrest or detention by federal authorities and was not made aware of their operations prior to their occurrence.

Following aid being provided to the victims of the collision, the crash investigation and scene were promptly turned over to the Maryland State Police. Any further inquiries regarding the accident investigation should be directed to their office. Further questions regarding the driver’s detention should be directed to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
