charged. hillary clinton says donald trump is not qualified to be president. she told cnn today that trump's positions are, quote, offensive and potentially dangerous. her campaign criticized his list of supreme court picks saying all would roll back same-sex marriage and health care rulings. bernie sanders campaign in california today standing with labor protesters and saying he voted to legalize marijuana. he says he's staying in the race until the democratic convention. a veteran police officer arrested and charged with harboring a fugitive. now we're learning this is all connected to the takedown of a honduran drug ring. pat collins live in monrovia, maryland outside the home where that police officer was arrested. >> reporter: a national drug case ends up with an arrest here in frederick county. a man who swore to uphold the law is charged now with harboring a fugitive and

more on that coming up at 6:00. jim, back to you. >> pat collins. pat, thank you. a d.c. fire captain is on leave this evening and facing gun and drug charges. captain brian grace was arrested last night by fairfax police. they say he's facing three counts of possession of a drug and two weapons charges. the d.c. fire department said it is aware of the arrest and grace is on administrative leave. he's been with that department for more than 16 years. traffic along route 50 and bowe slowing after a small plane crashed here into a fence and almost onto that highway. chopper 4 over the scene just a short time ago over freeway airport. everyone involved in this crash is okay. dramatic, tearful testimony in fairfax county as a mclean woman who was stabbed and shot during a bizarre attack was the first witness in a trial of a lawyer, andrew schmul.

staging an elaborate attack on her boss after his wife was fired from her job at the law firm. >> reporter: this is a case about revenge, greed, torture, and depravity. those were among the prosecutors' opening words to jurors today. when they heard from the first of two victims, the jurors got a vivid picture of a night of absolute horror. an ordinary sunday evening in this mclean home turned into a night of terror for sue duncan and her husband. andrew schmul pushed in and tased leo fisher. he said i'm from the virginia sec and i'm arresting your husband. the couple was bound with zip ties, ordered to the bedroom. fisher recognized

husband of alicia schmul. he gave the couple a bizarre reason for why he was there, saying fisher had a hit out on a mexican drug cartel. she says schmuhl began to interrogate her husband. she was order noed into the bathroom, but fearful for her husband she emermerged. he was raising his hand and aiming the gun at me, so i turned my head and i felt the bullet and i fell down to the floor. i got up and i knew i was alive and the only thing i could think of is you've got to get to that phone. i got to my knees and started crawling and he would jump on me and stab me over and over. duncan says the attack finally ended when she decided to play dead. she was later able to hit the house panicrm

when she walked out of the bedroom, she saw schmuhl leaving the house. andrew clad only in a diaper. his attorneys say andrew was so heavily medicated that night he didn't know what he was doing during the attack. i'll tell you who they say is responsible for the crime. jim, back to you in the studio. >> bizarre details. julie, thank you. with the stroke of a pen, maryland governor larry hogan signed into law a tough new crackdown on drunk drivers. noah's law expands the ignition interlock law to all drivers. it is named for noah leotta who was killed by a drunk driver back in december. his parents attended the bill signing ceremony in annapolis. now that that law has been signed, what's next? you may have some questions

including concerns about their reliability. kristin wright got those answers for you and she join us now live from rockville. hi, kristin. >> reporter: this is where officer leotta was killed back in december. it was so painful for our entire community. it's been a relatively short amount of time in getting this law passed so now the focus turns to implementation of the law and getting it to work. after noah's law takes effect in october, anyone convicted of drunk driving in maryland must have an ignition interlock device in their vehicle, even first-time offenders. every time they get behind the wheel they have to pass a breathalyzer for the car to start. >> i think it is going to prevent people from drinking and driving. >> reporter: he installs interlocks at his auto shop in silver springs. >> yeah, this is part of a business, but

upon anyone. >> reporter: she was almost killed by a drunk driver. she's glad that a law like this will finally be on the books, but she's concerned about the interlock technology. >> given the multiple aspects of the technology and the mechanics of the device itself, there are a lot of ways for this information to be inaccurately transmitted or having a false reading. >> reporter: sandler says the devices may be expensive for young drivers and an administrative nightmare for the maryland vehicle administration, but mothers against drunk driving sees noah's law as only a big victory. >> this law reduces drunk driving fatalities significantly in all of the states that have it. >> reporter: by 46%, according to madd, which fought very hard for this day in annapolis. we did just talk to maryland's motor vehicle administration, and we asked are you ready for the implementation of this new law. they told us that t

new. they've been administering the program for sometime. they've always been working with advocacy groups in implementing the new law and figuring out the best ways to do that. we asked about the accuracy of the interlock devices. there are examples where people use mouthwash and perhaps get a false reading. they told us anyone who has the device has specific instructions on how to handle those false readings, so they do what they can to try to prevent those. back to you. >> thank you, kristin. was it terrorism? that is the big question for investigators as they search for egyptair flight 804. but they have to find the plane first and that's been a setback. chris lawrence is tracking these developments. he is at our live desk. >> egyptair is retracting claims that search teams found wreckage from flight 804 in the mediterranean sea. we're getting some new video

that search effort. the plane went down early this morning with 66 people on board. there are reports the jet made a series of abrupt turns before it went down. a former ntsb board member says those turns could indicate something catastrophic like a bomb exploding on board, but don't jump to conclusions. the only thing that's certain is the plane broke apart in midair. i'm chris lawrence. can you imagine getting a $189,000 water bill? one local man says the water company just wouldn't listen. see the results when he called nbc 4 responds for help. plus, a transgender person booted from the grocery store bathroom. >> the restroom door came open and i a-- all i heard

high utility bills, we've all been there, but a maryland man's water bill trumps anything you have ever seen before. >> we're talking nearly 200,000 bucks. he knew it was a mistake, but trying to convince the utility company, not so easy. smart man that he was he called susan hogan for help. >> can you believe this? here's the deal. you've got two people living in a 1500 square foot home consuming 1.5 million gallons of water to answer your question in one month. we know it sounds ridiculous, but the water company sent them a final notice to pay up or their water would be shut off. >> 180,000-plus dollars. >> reporter: you have to see it to believe. ricardo torres' april water bill for

the utility claiming he consumed 1.5 million gallons of water in one month. that's the equivalent of not one, not two, but three olympic size swimming pools. >> i laughed a little. i thought it was clearly absurd, but i kind of knew it had to be a mistake. >> reporter: but ricardo wasn't laughing after seeing what came next, a final notice threatening to turn off his water in he doesn't pay the amount due. >> i gave them a call. they said that they were going to give me an extra week before they cut off my water. >> reporter: wait a second. they were going to cut off your water? >> the week after i received the notice, yes. >> reporter: ricardo contacted us. after all call, all threats to shut off his water dropped. the utility now apologizing. >> it was a large amount. it was a wrong amount.

>> reporter: as far as the customer service response to ricardo, wssc admitting that was unacceptable. >> we're going to use that as a teachable moment for the agent involved. >> reporter: that bill, that's gone too. ricardo has a $17 credit. >> i was very surprised. you called me two or three hours after and it was all done and i appreciate it very much. >> so what happened? wssc told us it reads 8,000 meters a month and they have a 99.75% accuracy rate. the system should have flagged this mistake, but obviously it did not. if you have a consumer problem you need help solving, contact our nbc 4 responds team. that number 844-nbc-dc

its destination. >> so the idea of terrorism obviously puts travelers on edge and we're about to enter the busy travel season. we're joined by our nbc aviation analyst. >> why would investigators believe at this point that terrorism is more likely than mechanical issues? >> jim, one of the big things is that a lot of the statements that are coming out of egypt right now and supported by the greeks is that they have more information than we know. they've been able to put somewhat of a story line together about the break up or at least the descent of the aircraft from the radar data. they probably have some additional intelligence information that gives them the confidence that this is more likely to be an intentional act rather than a true accident with a mechanical problem. >> how hard is it going to be for them to find the wreckage? earlier today, there was a

then they retracted that and said, no, the debris did not belong to this plane. how difficult is that going to be considering how much we know about radar and follow planes over the oceans? >> it's an interesting question, wendy, only because there's so much radar coverage there unlike mh-370 where we had no radar coverage over the indian ocean. we have a lot of radar coverage. we have a lot of abilities in that area, both civilian and military, and we still can't find this airplane. they're going to search, but the fortunate thing is it's a very narrow or very small search area, so the probability goes up exponentially because of that search area. i have all the confidence in the world they're going to find the wreckage. it's just going to take little bit of time. >> many americans have travel plans for the busy summer. what should we know before we go the airport, particularly when it comes to international flights? >> i think there's two things, jim. one, patience. you have to have pac

we've talked about it into the news media a lot about the tsa lines. they're there for a reason. this is one of those emphasis points. if this particular event with egyptair turns out to be an intentional act, you're going to be glad those lines are long because we don't want that happening here in the united states. the other thing for the travelers is to check with the state department and determine really in that region that you're traveling outside the united states whether they have watches or warnings about traveling in those areas. >> all right. thank you so much. we appreciate it. whenever a plane disappears from radar without any distress call, it raises the spector of terrorism, all the more so if it is an egyptian plane coming from paris. i'm at
