AUGUSTA -- State and Augusta Police manned an informational roadblock near the Eastern Avenue home and driveway of Michael Roderick today, according to State Police spokesman Steve McCausland.

Detectives today handed out 2,500 fliers to motorists who were stopped in traffic for construction taking place along Route 17 (Eastern Ave.), McCausland said.

The handout asked people to report any activity they witnessed in or around Roderick's driveway on Oct. 16.
