OCEAN CITY, Md. — A social media post has been circulating claiming a fugitive is on the loose in Ocean City, but the Ocean City Police Department says that isn't true.
The post first started circulating in a Facebook group on Thursday December 18.
It says the police department is searching for a fugitive and advising residents to remain indoors.
"The Ocean City Police Department is not actively searching for a fugitive, and there is no threat to the public that would require a shelter-in-place order," the department said in a Facebook post.
