Beau Oglesby, State's Attorney for Worcester County
RE:  Charles Phillips Sentenced

Today marks the conclusion of a long and painful journey for the Niblett family. After being found guilty of First Degree Murder in June of this year, Charles Phillips was sentenced to Life Without The Possibility of Parole. 

 I am greatful for the extraordinary efforts of law enforcement, the hard work and dedication from members of The Office of The State's Attorney and most importantly the strength and trust of the Niblett family.

 Because of their efforts and support, Mr. Phillips will spend the rest of his natural life in prison.

Andre Kaczynski

"The Office of The State’s Attorney offered nothing in exchange for his admission of guilt...."

SNOW HILL – On Wednesday, August 1st, 2012 Andre Kaczynski was found guilty of all eleven charges filed against him by the Office of The State’s Attorney for Worcester County. Mr. Kaczynski admitted that he was responsible for crashing his full size pick-up truck into the rear of a vehicle occupied by Ann Marie DelRicco and her 18 month old daughter, Ava while impaired by PCP on December 16, 2011.

Mr. Kaczynski was found guilty of two counts of causing life threatening injuries by motor vehicle while impaired by a controlled dangerous substance, two counts of possession of PCP, driving while impaired by a controlled dangerous substance, aggressive driving, reckless driving, negligent driving, failing to control speed to avoid a collision, speeding and possession of marijuana.

The Office of The State’s Attorney offered nothing in exchange for his admission of guilt to all charges and will be seeking the maximum sentence allowable by law. Sentencing will occur at a later time following the completion of a pre-sentence investigation.

Mr. Kaczynski’s admission of guilt comes weeks after the General Assembly passed legislation to enhance the penalties associated with driving while under the influence of drugs. Commonly referred to as “Ava’s Law”, the legislation was championed by the Office of The State’s Attorney and passed unanimously in both the House and the Senate before being signed by the Governor. The law which was signed by Governor Martin O’Malley increases the amount of allowable incarceration from two years to three years and raises the fine from $3,000 to $5,000.

Following the sentencing of Mr. Kaczynski, State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby will hold a press conference at the Office of The State’s Attorney. Mr. Oglesby stated, “The Defendant admitting guilt to all charges without receiving any consideration from the State was the only acceptable way to proceed with this case without having a trial”.

SURPRISE!! You've Been Busted!!

I have taken the liberty to separate this new story from the others sent to me by the Pocomoke City Police Department.

Here's another successful drug bust in the city of Pocomoke where some say the law isn't doing their job! I'm going to argue that fact with anyone and will continue until you are convinced you have been totally wrong. Let me adise you that carrying out a drug bust can be risky business and the main reason it seems to take so long to get something done is simply because it takes great skill and perfect timing to enter someone's world and blow it all apart.....

Pocomoke City now has the best law enforcement team it has ever had. Pocomoke City now employs a chief that has had many years of  experience and I challenge anyone to walk in his shoes. Since he has arrived in Pocomoke City the police department has had a vast change not only in moral but in training. They are no long good at what they do. They are GREAT!.

The best thing to happen to Worcester County is Sheriff Reggie Mason and Worcester County State's Attorney Beau Oglesby. The Criminal Enforcement Team consists of individuals from the various law departments in Worcester County and the state of Maryland.  Their work is done sometimes under cover and each one is highly trained in the investigations of any type of criminal activity.  And let it be known that changes were made shortly after the last election in Worcester County.....Worcester County now works side by side with Accomack County.  Accomack County works with the Pocomoke City Police Dept. 

Having all three teams: Pocomoke City Police Department, Sheriff Mason's Crimminal Enforce Team, and Worcester County State's Attorney Beau Oglesby working together only makes for a more successful arrest and a safer world around us all. jmmb
