Heroin Investigations Lead To Arrests

Lauren Ann Johnson

Over the last several months, members of the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team and the Ocean City Police Department Narcotics Unit have been conducting several heroin investigations in the Northern part of Worcester County, Maryland, specifically the Berlin and Ocean City area. During the course of these investigations, an individual identified as David Sturgill, age 33, of Berlin, Maryland was identified as a source of heroin.

On October 25, 2012, surveillance of Sturgill indicated that

D. Sturgill

he was traveling to the Baltimore area accompanied by a female, later identified as Lauren Ann Johnson, age 24, of Ocean City, Maryland. On October 26, 2012, search and seizure warrant for Sturgill's vehicle, person and residence was authored by the Criminal Enforcement Team. Members of the Criminal Enforcement Team, Maryland State Police, Worcester County Sheriff's Office, and the Berlin Police Department, conducted a traffic stop of Sturgill’s vehicle in order to execute this search and seizure warrant as Sturgill entered into Worcester County near the intersection of Libertytown Road and Ninepin Branch Road in Berlin, MD. Sturgill and Johnson were taken into custody without incident. As a result of this search and seizure warrant being executed on Sturgill and his vehicle, investigators subsequently located and seized the following items:

·         105 individually wrapped bags of heroin

·         Digital scale 

·         Various items of paraphernalia

·         Sturgill's 2006 Ford F-150 pickup truck

At approximately, 1740 hours, law enforcement executed the search and seizure warrant on Sturgill's residence located in Berlin, Maryland. This search and seizure warrant was executed without incident and resulted in the seizure of the following items:

·         Various items of paraphernalia

Sturgill and Johnson were both charged with the following offenses:

·         Possession of Heroin

·         Possession with intent to distribute Heroin

·         Possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia (hypodermic syringe)

·         Possession of controlled Paraphernalia (hypodermic syringe)

This investigation was a success due to the combined efforts of the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team, the Ocean City Police Department Narcotics Unit and the DEA Salisbury Post of Duty and Baltimore Field Division. During the execution of the search and seizure warrants the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team was assisted by the Maryland State Police, Worcester County Sheriff's Office Patrol Division, Worcester County State's Attorney's Office, A.T.F. and the Berlin Police Department. Sturgill and Johnson were transported to the Worcester County District Court Commissioners Office for an initial appearance. Sturgill was subsequently committed to the Worcester County Jail on a $10,000.00 bond and Johnson was committed on a $15,000.00 bond.

Damage Assessment Teams Will Tour Accomack County Today

Joint Preliminary Damage Assessment teams, comprised of local, state and federal representatives, will visit sites in Accomack County that were damaged by Hurricane Sandy Friday, Nov. 2, beginning at 10:30 AM at the Accomack County Administrative Offices to assess damage from Hurricane Sandy.

Representatives from Accomack County, Representatives from the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM)and Representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will be part of the team.

When localities suffer damage from natural or man-made emergencies, evaluations are made of the extent of damage and the amount of uninsured loss. The evaluations or preliminary damage assessments help determine whether or not a locality may qualify for federal assistance to recover from a disaster.

 Federal assistance through FEMA does not apply to loss that is covered by private insurance. The total amount of uninsured property must meet a minimum threshold before federal assistance is considered.

Hurricane Sandy Visits Pocomoke City

Everyone will remember for quite a long time where they were and what they were doing just a few days before the Halloween celebrations in 2012.  I don't remember ever witnessing anything quite like this storm and it is the only the second time in my life I have felt total  fear and helplessness.

The photos below were sent to me by Rob and Donna Clarke, who on the morning of Monday October 29, 2012 until around noon,  ventured outside and around Pocomoke City to take these.

Notice this beautiful tree just beginning to turn into its fall colors.  I wonder what happened to this tree during the storm and if the power lines were torn down by the branches in the wind.

Hurricane Sandy Update

November 1, 2012

8:00 AM

Hurricane Sandy restoration continues this morning. There a few scattered services out and crews have been dispatched to repair. IF YOU ARE WITHOUT ELECTRIC SERVICE PLEASE CALL TO INSURE THAT YOU ARE ON OUR RESTORE LIST.

Yesterday, we had a number of cases where leaning trees or broken limbs fell, once again taking down lines. We may continue to experience such storm related outages until we are able to remove the leaning or dangerous trees that were damaged during the storm.

For the most part today crews will be addressing non-outage related issues such as low hanging service wires or limbs on the lines. If you have a low service wire or you see an unsafe condition such as low wires, leaning trees, limbs on the lines, or wires on the ground please call the cooperative at 800-431-2632 or 757-787-9750. Do not approach a low hanging wire or wire on the ground let our trained professionals handle the matter.
We at A&N Electric Cooperative thank you for your patience as we restored service following Hurricane Sandy.

VA. Dept. of Health Warns Of Riskd To Water Supply Due To Storm

Hurricanes, especially if accompanied by a tidal surge or flooding, can contaminate your water supply. Drinking contaminated water may cause illness. Individuals cannot assume that the water in the hurricane-affected area is safe to drink.

If your well has been flooded, it needs to be tested and disinfected after the storm passes and the floodwaters recede. Questions about testing should be directed to the Eastern Shore Health District at (757) 787-5880, (757) 824-6211 or (757) 442-6228.

Water for drinking and cooking

Safe drinking water includes bottled, boiled or treated water. The following are guidelines to ensure your post-storm water supply is safe for use.

Do not use contaminated water to wash dishes, brush your teeth, wash and prepare food or make ice.

Drink only bottled, boiled or treated water until your supply is tested and deemed safe.

Boiling water kills harmful bacteria and parasites. Bringing water to a rolling boil for one minute will kill infectious organisms (germs).

Water may be treated with chlorine by mixing eight drops (1/8 teaspoon; about the size of a dime) of ordinary household bleach (free of fragrances and additives) per gallon of water. Mix the solution thoroughly, and let stand for about 30 minutes. However, this treatment will not kill parasitic organisms that may have entered a flooded well. Iodine tablets available at sporting goods stores may also be used.

Containers for water should be rinsed with a bleach solution before reusing them (one tablespoon bleach per gallon of water). Use water storage tanks and other types of containers with caution. For example, fire truck storage tanks as well as previously used cans or bottles may be contaminated with microbes or chemicals. Do not rely on untested devices for decontaminating water.

How do I fix my well?
It is important to disinfect both well and plumbing water with ordinary household bleach to ensure that all infectious agents are destroyed.

If you have water treatment devices, remove all membranes, cartridges and filters and replace them after the chlorination process is completed. The amount of chlorine determines the length of time you allow the bleach to remain in your system.

The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) recommends the following steps to disinfect a contaminated well:

If the water is discolored before adding the bleach, run the water until it is clear for up to 10 minutes.

Turn off and then drain your hot water heater bleach is not effective in water above 105 degrees.

Remove and replace charcoal filters after the disinfecting process is completed.

To avoid adding contamination to the well during disinfection, clean the work area around the top of the well. Then, remove grease and mineral deposits from accessible parts of the well head and flush the outside surfaces with one-half cup of bleach in five gallons of water.

Turn off the pump. Remove the cap or the well plug on the rubber seal. There are many types of well caps and plugs. If you have questions, you should contact a licensed well driller. If you have a submersible pump, you may also want to contact a licensed well driller for advice on disinfection procedures.

The recommended amount of bleach varies depending on the amount of water in the well. However, a half gallon of ordinary unscented household bleach should be adequate for most home wells. Try to coat the sides of the casing as you pour. If you get bleach on the pump or wiring, flush it thoroughly with fresh water to prevent later corrosion.

Re-cap or plug the well opening and wait 30 minutes.

Turn on and, if needed, re-prime the pump. Open all of the faucets on the system one at a time. Allow the water to run until there is a noticeable smell of bleach. You may also want to flush the toilets. If you have outside faucets, you may want to direct the water away from sensitive plants. If you cannot detect a bleach odor, repeat the disinfecting process.

Turn off all of the faucets and allow the bleach to remain in the system for at least four hours, although overnight is preferable.
Backwash water softeners, sand filters and iron removal filters with bleach water.

Again, open all the faucets and run the water until there is no bleach-smell for up to 15 minutes.

After disinfecting your well, the water needs to be tested to verify that it is safe to drink. Although bleach is effective against microorganisms, it will not remove chemical contamination that may have gotten into your well. Contact the Eastern Shore Health District for information about how to get your water tested.

A & N Electric Update

Press Release #8

Hurricane Sandy Update
October 31, 2012
5:00 PM

The total number of members without service is approximately 200, which has changed little since this morning's update. The vast majority of accounts without service this evening are from new outages. There are a significant number of leaning trees and broken limbs that have fallen throughout the day creating new storm related damage. In this manner, Hurricane Sandy is similar to the December 1998 ice storm which continued creating new outages once the storm had passed.

All service interruptions that were created during the Hurricane on Monday should be restored by the end of today. New service interruptions caused by falling limbs or trees will be addressed as they are received. If you see a tree leaning toward the electric lines or spot a broke limb that might fall and damage the electric line please let us know. Should you find a low hanging or fallen wire please stay away from the wire and call the cooperative at 800-431-2632 or 757-787-9750.

We at A&N Electric Cooperative thank you for your patience as we restore service following Hurricane Sandy.

**Thank you for the awesome job, and for what is continued being done on Virginia Eastern Shore  by A & N and out of town electric crews** jmmb

Trick-R-Treating Rescheduled

Suspects Sought In Salisbury Double Shooting /Reward Offered For Information

(SALISBURY, MD) – State and local police are searching for multiple suspects who were involved in a Wicomico County robbery and shooting last night in which two young men sustained life threatening injuries.

The victims are a 23-year-old male and a 16-year-old male, both of whom lived in the 1000-block of Margaret Street, in Salisbury, Md. Both victims sustained gunshot wounds. They are not being identified at this time for safety reasons.

The suspects are described as African American males, believed to be in their teens or early twenties. Two suspects were armed with guns. The armed suspects were part of a larger group of about six to eight suspects who were at or near the scene when the shootings occurred.

Shortly after 11:30 p.m. yesterday, officers from the Salisbury Police Department responded to the 1000-block of Margaret Street for a report of a shooting. When officers arrived, they found both victims lying wounded on or near the front porch of the home. Medic units responded and transported both victims to a hospital, where they remain in critical condition.

Salisbury Police Department Chief Barbara Duncan contacted the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit and requested it take the lead in the investigation. The Homicide Unit is being assisted by the Salisbury Police Department Criminal Investigation Division and the Wicomico County Bureau of Investigation. Wicomico County State’s Attorney Matt Maciarello and his staff have been on the scene throughout the night and are assisting investigators.

The preliminary investigation indicates the victims were on their front porch about 11:30 p.m. yesterday, when a group of six to eight African American males were walking down the street. Four of those males separated from the group and walked toward the victims. Two of those four males approached the victims and demanded money. Both of those suspects were armed. The shootings occurred during the robbery.

Crime scene technicians processed the scene and investigators spent the night interviewing people in the area. Those interviews will continue today as police canvass the neighborhood to develop leads.

Anyone with information about the suspects, or who may have seen suspicious persons or circumstances in the area late last night, is urged to contact police immediately. The Wicomico County Crime Solvers organization is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case. Persons with information are urged to call Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776, or the Salisbury Police Department at 410-548-3165, or the Maryland State Police at 410-749-3101. Callers may remain anonymous.

Crew Rescued From Tall Ship Off Hatteras - Two Stilll Missing

Portsmouth, Va. – The Coast Guard rescued 14 people from life rafts and two more remain missing off of Hatteras after abandoning the tall ship HMS Bounty in Hurricane Sandy’s rough seas.

Two MH-60 Jayhawk helicopters from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C., rescued the crew.

The first Jayhawk crew arrived on scene at approximately 6:30 a.m. and hoisted five people into the aircraft, and a second helicopter arrived and rescued nine people.

The 14 rescued are being flown to Air Station Elizabeth City where they will be met by emergency medical services personnel.

A C-130 Hercules aircraft remains on scene and is searching for the two missing crewmembers and a third Jayhawk is en route to assist search and rescue efforts.

The 16 people donned cold water survival suits and life jackets before launching in two 25-man lifeboats with canopies.

Coast Guard Sector North Carolina initially received a call from the owner of the 180-foot, three mast tall ship, HMS Bounty, saying she had lost communication with the vessel’s crew late Sunday evening.

The Coast Guard 5th District command center in Portsmouth subsequently received a signal from the emergency position indicating radio beacon registered to the Bounty, confirming the distress and position.

An air crew from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City launched aboard an HC-130 Hercules aircraft, which established communications with the Bounty’s crew.

The vessel was taking on water and was without propulsion in 40 mph winds and 18-foot seas.

The Bounty is a replica of the original HMS Bounty, and was built in 1960 for the MGM movie version of Mutiny on the Bounty, which starred Marlon Brando. The Bounty has appeared in many films and documentaries, including Treasure Island, Yellowbeard, Sponge Bob, Square Pants, the Movie, and Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Man’s Chest.
