Re: borther was arrested

As I informed you, today, March 17, 2009, during our telephone discussion, Maryland authorities must release your brother from detention if Virigina authorities have not come within the required time period(probably 72 hours) to pick him up on the apparently still outstanding Virginia warrant.

If such has not occurred, someone needs to appear at the Maryland detenion facility where your brother is being held to demand his immediate release.
