Father Fights for Son's Memorial | Annapolis News
Description
A grieving father’s roadside memorial for his son, who died in a motorcycle crash, sparked a legal battle with neighbors who claimed it was trespassing — but a judge sided with the father, ruling there wasn’t enough proof the signs were on their property. The memorial, removed by state officials for safety reasons, holds deep emotional value for the family, who have no burial site to visit. The father, Brad Hopkins, says he had permission and plans to keep fighting for a permanent tribute — while the neighbors, including a 13-year-old daughter who testified she was scared during confrontations, argue he’s bullying them. The judge dismissed the peace orders, calling the evidence insufficient — and the emotional stakes couldn’t be higher.
