Old Carroll County jail lands new tenant - baltimoresun.com

Old Carroll County jail lands new tenant - baltimoresun.com:

'via Blog this'

By Blair Ames,

8:40 a.m. EDT, August 2, 2013

The Board of Carroll County Commissioners voted unanimously Thursday to allow the Sheriff's Office to move some of its administrative offices into the old jail building on North Court Street in Westminster.

Commissioner Robin Frazier abstained from the vote after missing parts of the discussion.

Sheriff Ken Tregoning requested that the Sheriff's Office use the jail building, which was built in 1837, for offices in response to the Circuit Court adding an additional judge.

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…

http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0318-20120314,0,148049.story

Early spring 1879 bore witness to a curious number of low crimes and misdemeanors in Carroll County.

Historian Jay Graybeal brought a number of the stories to life a few years ago in research he conducted for the Historical Society of Carroll County.

[…]

Ahhh, the good old days. Can judges today order folks to leave town?

Seems to me that running certain folks out of town would be the perfect way to solve a few problems.

Convenience store clerk assaulted with baseball bat during robbery in Sykesville

Convenience store clerk assaulted with baseball bat duringrobbery in Sykesville

Darrell L. Webb Jr., 21, wanted for armed robbery, first degree assault, and theft.

A citizen interrupted the robbery and tackled the suspect as he fled the store but was unable to hold him until police arrived

By Kevin Dayhoff, January 6, 2012

http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2012/01/convenience-store-clerk-assaulted-with.html

Maryland state troopers and Sykesville police responded to the High’s Convenience Store at 7400 Village Road, Sykesville this morning for a report of an assault with a baseball bat.

The Maryland State Police have reported that when the officers arrived upon the scene, at approximately 6:45 a.m., “officers located the lone store clerk suffering from multiple injuries from an apparent strike to the head and body with a baseball bat.”

A warrant has subsequently been issued for Darrell L. Webb Jr., 21, of the 1800 block of Amanda Lane, Sykesville, Md., charging him armed robbery, first-degree assault, and theft with additional charges that are pending. “Troopers believe Webb acted alone and at this time is the only suspect in the incident,” according to state police.

The 21-year-old clerk was transported to the Carroll Hospital Center by the Sykesville Volunteer Fire Company with non-life threatening injuries.

State police report that the preliminary investigation indicates that “Webb entered the convenience store and threatened the store clerk verbally. He then used the bat to strike the clerk several times before fleeing the store.”

Police say that in addition to assaulting the clerk with a baseball bat, Webb also stole an undetermined amount of Maryland Lottery scratch off tickets…

“An alert citizen observed Webb enter the store with the bat and interrupted the assault,” say police. “The citizen tackled Webb as he fled from the store but, but was unable to detain him until police arrived.”

Webb is reported to have fled the scene “in a dark blue 2006 Chrysler Sebring with Maryland tags 8AK5106,” according to state police.

It has also been reported that this is not the first time Webb has threatened the clerk. In the course of the investigation “Investigators also learned that Webb is believed to have threatened the same store clerk with a baseball bat several days prior to this incident. That incident is being investigated by officers with the Sykesville Police Department.”

Troopers from the Westminster Barrack, along with members of the Sykesville Police Department, are searching for Webb. Anyone with information about the robbery or Webb’s whereabouts is asked to contact state police at 410-386-3000.

Police still looking for lone gunman who robbed Union Bridge 7-11

Robber remains at large after taking cash

By Kevin Dayhoff

Posted 6/17/11

The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office is seeking information regarding the identity and location of a lone gunman who remains at large after robbing the 7-11 convenience store in Union Bridge late Tuesday morning.

According to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, around 2:20 a.m., sheriff’s deputies responded to a hold-up alarm in the 100-block of Main Street in Union Bridge.

Sheriff’s Office spokesperson, Major Phillip S. Kasten, reports the initial investigation has revealed that “a white male approximately 5’-10” tall wearing a black ‘hoodie,’ white mask, and black gloves entered the store displaying a handgun and demanded money from the cashier.”

No one was hurt in the robbery.

The suspect then fled from the store on foot after taking an undisclosed amount of cash.

The Sheriff’s Office investigation is continuing. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Detective Corporal Doug Epperson at 410-386-2574, or the toll free anonymous TIPS Hotline at 1-888-399-TIPP (8477).

Laying down the law against speeding buggies and kite flying

by Kevin Dayhoff

The history of policing is always interesting, and offers a glimpse to how past generations viewed law and order.

According to an old copy of the history of the Westminster Police Department, it was on May 20, 1850, that Westminster's law enforcement title of Borough or Town Constable changed to "City Bailiff," with Elias Yingling being appointed as the city's first bailiff.

The title of bailiff, referring to law enforcement officials, continued until 1979... http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0522-20110518,0,6837324.story

Democratic Advocate, May 20, 1949: Horne Robbery Was Fabricated

Baltimore Paint Salesman Faked Report After Losing Sales; Planned To Commit Suicide—Herbert F. Horne, 40, Baltimore paint salesman, admitted to State Police Tuesday night that his report of hold up and robbery at Westminster last Friday night was a hoax he practiced to cover up his failure to land business contracts at Sparrows Point and Westminster, State Trooper James S. Poteet revealed.

Horne claimed he was heldup at a traffic light on Main street in Westminster, forced to drive north to town, where he was assaulted, robbed and his car taken.

Trooper Poteet said Horne confessed Tuesday night that he was not robbed and that the entire story was concocted to win sympathy for business failures.

Maryland State Police: New Citation procedures began Jan 1 2011

Maryland State Police: New Citation procedures began Jan 1 2011: A new press release is now posted on the Maryland State Police website. FINAL REMINDER BEFORE NEW LAW CHANGES TRAFFIC CITATION TRIAL DATE PROCEDURE

December 27, 2010

Maryland State Police: FINAL REMINDER BEFORE NEW LAW CHANGES TRAFFIC CITATION TRIAL DATE PROCEDURE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 27, 2010

FINAL REMINDER BEFORE NEW LAW CHANGES TRAFFIC CITATION TRIAL DATE PROCEDURE

(PIKESVILLE, MD) -- Maryland State Police are reminding motorists that if they receive a traffic citation on or after January 1, 2011, a new law requires the driver to request a trial date if they want one, instead of one being automatically assigned.

     The new law gives drivers who receive a traffic citation three options:

1-Pay the full amount of the preset fine;
2-Request a hearing regarding sentencing and disposition in lieu of a trial,
(meaning you do not dispute the truth of the facts as alleged in the citation,
but you wish to be heard regarding sentencing); or
3-Request a trial date at the date, time and place established by the District Court.

     The law requires that a person who received a citation make one of these three choices and notify the District Court within 30 days.  If not, the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration will be notified and may take action to suspend the person’s driver’s license.

     Previously, persons issued a citation were automatically given a trial date.  The law required them to either pay the fine by the trial date, or appear in court that day to answer to the charge.  Often, people waited until the day before, or even the day of trial to pay the fine.  This meant the police officer who issued the citation was already scheduled to appear in court and it was too late to notify him or her that they were not needed to appear.  This created scheduling difficulties for police officers and often incurred overtime expenditures for police departments required to have police officers present in court, even though they were not needed.

     House Bill 829 and Senate Bill 560 were passed in the 2010 Maryland General Assembly Session and will become law on January 1st.  Supporters of the new law believe this will increase efficiency in both the courts and police departments across Maryland.

     State troopers believe the new law will eliminate needless trips to court and supervisors will be better able to schedule the deployment of personnel.  State Police commanders believe there will be an overall cost savings to the Department in overtime pay.  They also believe the new procedure will keep troopers on patrol who would otherwise be in court waiting for a case in which they ultimately were not needed.

     The new law does not apply to citations issued for ‘must appear’ violations, such as drunk driving.  Persons receiving citations for ‘must appear’ offenses will be automatically notified by either a circuit court or the District Court of a trial date and location where they must appear.

     Information about the new procedure will be printed on citations given to motorists.  Troopers will be reminding motorists of the new procedure when citations are issued.  Persons with questions can also visit the District Court of Maryland website at www.mdcourts.gov/district, or call 1-800-492-2656.

Remembering Those in Harm’s Way

Kevin E. Dayhoff http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4137

With the New Year rapidly approaching, much of the media now turns its attention to ruminating over what were the Top 10 stories of the year. Perhaps one the most disturbing stories was the “Alarming Rise in 2010 Law Enforcement Officer Fatalities.”

2010 was a tough year and there are plenty of stories about natural, political, and economic disasters to regale future generations.

However, our great nation will survive and, for the most part, we will rebound economically, muddle along politically and eventually recover from the natural – and man-made disasters; but the loss of a police officer is forever – for the family, loved-ones, and the community.

It erodes the social network fabric which ensures our quality of life and future... http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4137

In the early hours of Monday morning my late night meanderings at the keyboard were interrupted by a cryptic message on the police scanner – a motorist had fired on a Carroll County deputy during a traffic stop.

Old Westminster Pike… his gun misfired, “I got one round off,” reported the deputy in somewhat uncharacteristically descriptive plain English.

Keeping the chatter of the police scanner on in the background while I work is an old habit of multiple origins. Over the many years I’ve learned to interpret the strange language of numbers, tones, code words and the humor – or excitement – of inside police baseball.

What I heard being communicated in the professionally composed dialogue that ensued was that a police officer had just had a life-threatening random brush with the chaos that can be law enforcement late at night

According to the police scanner, the suspect sped away from the scene only to quickly overturn. The suspect then fled on foot and the manhunt began in earnest.

As this column comes together, a statewide manhunt for the suspect continues.

A press release issued later on Monday told more of the story. “… Deputy 1st Class Brant Webb was patrolling in a marked sheriff’s car on Old Westminster Pike near Reese Road (just east of the Westminster city limits,) when he stopped a 1998 Ford Explorer for displaying suspended registration.

“As the deputy contacted the driver, he thrust a handgun out the window and attempted to fire a shot at the deputy; but the handgun reportedly misfired. The deputy backed away from the vehicle, and returned fire as the driver accelerated away from the traffic stop…”

The suspect, “Brian Joseph Hill aged 27 of the 3900 block Penhurst Avenue, Baltimore… has been known to associate with members of the Crips and he is considered armed and dangerous.”

The name Isaac Smith is not necessarily a household word for most people. He died on May 17, 1792. From various accounts we learn that he was a man of many talents including a war hero, farmer, doctor, and politician.

He was also a deputy sheriff who died in the line of duty when he answered the call to help a fellow officer in a tavern owned by Levi Hunt in what was then Westchester County just outside New York City.

In response to my June 16, column on TheTentacle.com, “To preserve the American Dream,” several sharp-eyed readers asked for more information about the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) observation, “Crime fighting has taken its toll. Since the first recorded police death in 1792, there have been more than 15,000 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.”

As a matter of fact, many news articles about tragedies that befall police officers in the line of duty will state, “Since the first recorded police death in 1792…” but never mention Deputy Smith.

So, what happened in 1792? Who was Deputy Smith and what were the circumstances of his death? … http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=3822

Union Bridge - A pair of trousers was stolen

Union Bridge Pilot, December 3, 1920.

Union Bridge - A pair of trousers was stolen early in the evening from the wash line of Mrs. John Pittinger about a week ago.

We were under the impression that thievery was entirely confined to booze the past year or two.

New Windsor - It is rumored that robbers have entered, or attempted to enter, several houses in town in the recent past, and that they visited the home of Erscie Benedict last Saturday night during the absence of the family, getting away with a supply of their butchering stuff, consisting of sausage, pudding, &c.

Should they continue on their rounds, it is hoped that may get all that is due them.

Carroll County Detention Center correctional officer allegedly assaulted

By Kevin Dayhoff November 22, 2010 http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2010/11/kevin-dayhoff-carroll-county-md.html

The Carroll County Detention Center reports that yesterday a correctional officer was alleged to have been assaulted by an inmate at the Court Street facility in Westminster.

The preliminary investigation indicates that at 10:52 a.m., inmate Dennis Barry Jennings Jr. allegedly assaulted Correctional Officer Sean Michael Davis in a direct supervision-housing unit of the local lock-up.

According to a police report by Major Steve Reynolds, the assistant warden; Jennings, who is confined at the detention center while waiting for trial for burglary and theft charges “grabbed a chair… attempted to strike the officer and then began assaulting the officer with his fists… without provocation.”

Davis called for back up and additional officers arrived. After initially being treated at the facility, Davis was taken to Carroll Hospital Center where it is reported that he is listed in stable condition as a result of “severe facial injuries.”

Meanwhile, Jennings faces “a multitude of criminal and institutional charges as a result of this assault,” according to Reynolds.

The investigation into the incident is continuing and is being handled by the Investigative Services Bureau of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.
