Sandy’s Shadow: Ocean City Braces

Ocean City, Maryland Mayor Rick Meehan warned residents and visitors to brace for “unprecedented” behavior from young adults expected to arrive for Senior Week celebrations. He anticipates a surge in underage drinking, drug use, vandalism, and overall unruly behavior, potentially surpassing previous years.

The Mayor highlighted that while Senior Week has been a tradition, the recent trend of larger groups engaging in disruptive activities is a growing concern. He emphasized that law enforcement will have a strong presence to maintain order and enforce laws regarding alcohol, drugs, and disruptive conduct. The city has already implemented measures like increased police patrols and stricter enforcement of open container laws.

Meehan strongly urged parents to communicate with their graduating seniors about responsible behavior and the consequences of their actions. He also suggested parents know where their children are staying and who they are with. The Mayor emphasized that Ocean City wants Senior Week to be a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone but stressed the importance of respecting the community and following the law. He reiterated that the city is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of residents, visitors, and graduating seniors alike. The city is prepared to handle any situation and is hopeful that responsible behavior will prevail.
