SPECIAL TREATMENT?: Social media continues to buzz about a viral incident from a month ago involving Maryland Sen. C. Anthony Muse and his interaction with police. Tonight (Thursday), I'll be dropping the latest developments. They leave many more questions than answers.

MARYLAND REPEAT SQUATTER REGISTRY: A man labeled a "repeat squatter" by police after discovering him occupying a suburban Baltimore home - who may have written an erotic novel about deception and a "gigolo" - is the reason some are calling for a repeat squatter registry.
