Carroll County Sheriff's Office Statement - Dismissal of Charges in Death of Isaiah Simmons

Statement - Dismissal of Charges in Death of Isaiah Simmons
 Carroll County Sheriff's Office

We regret the disposition of this serious case.  We grieve for the family of Isaiah Simmons, and share a common desire that justice is served in all matters.

 Inasmuch, all Sheriff’s Office personnel are cooperating fully with an independent investigation being conducted by the Office of the Maryland State Prosecutor into allegations of perjury by an Office investigator and senior staff member in an unrelated case.  The accused employees have been reassigned to administrative responsibilities pending the outcome of that investigation.  Until the results of this independent investigation are known, any further comments would be based on speculation rather than fact.  We ask for the public’s patience with this process, understanding these allegations are being meticulously investigated according to the State Prosecutor’s strict procedures. 

            The trust of our community is our most precious resource, a value embraced by the more than 200 Sheriff’s Office employees who are dedicated to serving Carroll County.  In fairness, conduct that is contrary to these values is not tolerated by our personnel or organization.  For the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to the delivery of professional public safety services in partnership with our allied criminal justice agencies…
