ROADCHECK 2013 YIELDS RESULTS

ROADCHECK 2013 YIELDS RESULTS IN PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY

(LANDOVER, MD) – Commercial vehicles traveling in and around the Capital Beltway region yesterday were the target of “Roadcheck 2013”, a coordinated enforcement effort that resulted in scores of trucks being placed out of service for safety defects and a dozen drivers taken off the road for being unqualified to drive commercial vehicles.

Yesterday, members of the Maryland State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division were joined by allied law enforcement and regulatory officers as they launched “Roadcheck 2013” at Fedex Field in Landover. The enforcement initiative focused on commercial vehicles traveling around the Capital Beltway in Prince George’s County.

Commercial trucks and buses were directed into a temporary inspection zone set up at Fed Ex Field in Landover. The operation used overhead road signs and variable message boards to notify commercial motor vehicles on the Capital Beltway (Interstate 495) would be inspected at the temporary weigh and inspection site off Arena Drive. Roving police units patrolled the surrounding area for vehicles attempting to avoid inspection at the fixed site.


Commercial vehicle inspectors examined 525 vehicles. Of those, 101 vehicles were placed out-of-service for major safety defects. In addition, 19 drivers were placed out of service for being unqualified to operate commercial vehicles. Police issued 181 traffic citations and 284 warnings for commercial vehicle related violations.

Allied law enforcement and regulatory agencies assisting with the operation included the Virginia State Police, Montgomery County Police Department, Prince Georges County Police Department, Calvert County Sheriff, Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE), Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, and Maryland Comptroller’s Office personnel. In addition to the Maryland State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division personnel, State Police units also assisted, including the Special Operations Division K-9 and command vehicle, Cadets, Tactical Medics and the Electronic Services Division.
Similar operations will be conducted in the future as state and local police work together to reduce traffic injuries and deaths, while increasing safety on Maryland roads.

MARYLAND STATE POLICE LAUNCH “ROADCHECK 2013”

MEDIA ADVISORY: MARYLAND STATE POLICE LAUNCH “ROADCHECK 2013”

(LARGO, MD) -- Maryland State Police commercial vehicle enforcement personnel, joined by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), is holding the official U.S. kick-off event for Roadcheck 2013. This is a multiple-day initiative focusing on ensuring the safe equipment and operation of buses, trucks, and other commercial vehicles operating in North America.

On June 4, 2013, Maryland State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division inspection teams will work fixed and roving locations throughout the Washington, D.C metro area. Teams of troopers and inspectors will target commercial vehicles committing traffic violations and in violation of state and federal safety regulations. Starting tomorrow and running 72 hours straight, inspectors from North America will conduct Level 1 inspections of passenger carrying commercial vehicles as well as properly secured cargo.

Roadcheck 2013 helps to remind carriers of the importance of maintenance and compliance with commercial vehicle safety regulations. Inspections will be conducted of vehicle equipment, secured cargo, driver’s log books, hazardous materials documentation, and other areas that impact safe operation.

  A special emphasis will be on the new hours-of-service requirements that take effect on July 1, 2013. 

Court Decides DNA Swabs During Arrests Are Constitutional

Maryland Vs. King Ruling: US Supreme Court Decides DNA Swabs During Arrests Are Constitutional In 5-4 Decision

Police are allowed to take DNA samples from people they arrest on charges of serious crimes, even if there are no plans to prosecute them for the offenses, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision handed down Monday.

Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion for the court. Also voting with Kennedy were Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Stephen Breyer and Samuel Alito. Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote the dissenting opinion, joined Justices Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan in the minority.

The case, Maryland vs. King, stemmed from a ruling by the Maryland Court of Appeals, which said that the DNA cheek swab from Alonzo Jay King obtained by the authorities in Wicomico County, Md., was unlawful. King’s DNA was taken following his 2009 arrest on assault charges, and the material linked him to an unsolved 2003 rape. King was later convicted of the rape, but Maryland’s highest court threw it out, arguing that he was subject to unlawful search and seizure.


But Monday’s ruling by the high court reversed the Maryland court’s decision, with Kennedy arguing that DNA samples are the 21st century equivalent of fingerprinting and does not constitute a violation of the 4th Amendment,.

“When officers make an arrest supported by probable cause to hold for a serious offense and they bring the suspect to the station to be detained in custody, taking and analyzing a cheek swab of the arrestee’s DNA is, like fingerprinting and photographing, a legitimate police booking procedure that is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment,” Kennedy wrote.

Rocket Launch Scheduled For Tonight From Wallops

Rocket Launch Scheduled June 4 From Wallops

WALLOPS ISLAND, VA – A Black Brant XII suborbital rocket carrying the Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRiment (CIBER)is scheduled for launch between 11 and 11:59 p.m. EDT, June 4, from NASA’s launch range at the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

The backup launch days are June 5 through 10. The rocket may be visible to residents in the mid-Atlantic region.

With CIBER, scientists will be studying when the first stars and galaxies formed in the universe and how brightly they burned their nuclear fuel.



Jamie Bock, CIBER principal investigator from the California Institute of Technology, said, “The objectives of the experiment are of fundamental importance for astrophysics: to probe the process of first galaxy formation. The measurement is extremely difficult technically.”

This will be the fourth flight for CIBER on a NASA sounding rocket. The previous launches were in 2009, 2010 and 2012 from the White Sands Missile Range, N.M. After each flight the experiment or payload was recovered for post-calibrations and re-flight.

For this flight CIBER will fly on a larger and more powerful rocket than before. This will loft CIBER to a higher altitude than those previously obtained, thus providing longer observation time for the instruments. The experiment, which will safely splash down in the Atlantic Ocean more than 400 miles off the Virginia coast, will not be recovered.

The NASA Visitor Center at Wallops will open at 9:30 p.m. on launch day for public viewing of the launch.

The mission will be available live on Ustream beginning at 10 p.m. on launch day at:
http://www.ustream.com/channel/nasa-wallops

Mission status on launch day can be followed on Twitter and Facebook at:
http://www.twitter.com/NASA_Wallops or http://www.facebook.com/NASAWFF

6-Year-Old Using Cross Walk Struck By Car

Jasmine Denise Shuman
OCPD Arrest Driver after a Collision Involving 6-Year-Old Pedestrian Crossing in a Crosswalk

On June 1, 2013, at approximately 1:45 p.m. Ocean City Police and EMS responded to the area of 19th Street and Baltimore Avenue, in reference to a child being struck by a vehicle.


Officers and paramedics arrived at the scene and determined a 6-year-old female and her mother were crossing Baltimore Avenue from east to west in the crosswalk at 19th Street.  The child was struck by a vehicle traveling southbound on Baltimore Avenue. 

The child was treated at the scene by OC EMS and later flown by Maryland State Police helicopter to the University Of Maryland Medical Center Shock Trauma for further treatment.

The vehicle, which initially stopped after the collision, left the scene but was later located and stopped by an OCPD foot officer as it was about to head west over the Route 50 Bridge at North Division Street.  The driver of the suspect vehicle was identified as:

Jasmine Denise Shuman, 18, of Salisbury. The investigation determined that Shuman was the operator of the vehicle that struck the 6-year-old pedestrian and left the scene.

Shuman was arrested and has been charged with:
  • Failure to Immediately Stop at Scene of Accident involving bodily injury (20-102a1)Failure to Immediately Return and Remain at the Scene of an Accident Involving Bodily Injury (20-102a2)

Several Mysterious Explosions Shake Shore Naval Base Area

CHINCOTEAGUE- First came the big boom. Buildings on the Navy base shivered and shook. Residents of the naval station ran outdoors, fearing an explosion or a bomb. They complained of intense pressure on the ear drums.

Then came another boom. The concussion was of equal intensity. Then another. And another. And another.

The naval base switchboard became jammed with telephone calls. Everyone wanted to know what was going on to interrupt the Saturday afternoon serenity of the Eastern Shore of Virginia for miles around.

Officers began immediately to determine the source of the concussion. It didn't take long to find out that it wasn't coming from the naval base.

That started off an investigation in the Fifth Naval District by the Navy to find out what was the cause. So far nothing has turned up from Norfolk headquarters to shed any light on the origin of the mystery blasts from seaward.

Reports were received from at least two points in Accomack County that the blasts shook plaster off the walls. One report came from the ancient Accomack County courthouse in Accomac, 20 miles away. A home owner in Chincoteague said plaster was knocked off his walls.

It was heard in Onancock, 28 miles away. Folks in Pocomoke City heard the blasts, too. People in Pocomoke City, like those on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, are used to target practice with big guns in nearby Chesapeake Bay. But these blasts, they said, were the severest of all. Nobody counted the number, but the Navy said there were "several."

The Navy didn't discount the possibility of a distant thunderstorm as the cause, saying maybe freak atmospheric conditions caused the concussion to have such intensity.

There was also a possibility that freak conditions could have caused the concussion to stem from firing ranges many miles from here.

The blasts were heard between 2:30 and 4 P.M. Saturday.

What deepens the mystery is the knowledge throughout the armed forces that Saturday is traditionally a day off except in an emergency, hence why would any service units be in action? No emergency in this area is known to exist.

(Burlington Hawk Eye- Burlington, Iowa)

Henry A. Wise.- The Snow Hill (Md) Shield, published in Worcester County, opposite Accomac(k), Va., states that at a reform meeting, held in Temperanceville, on Saturday, Mr. Wise, who is a candidate for the Virginia reform convention, provoked an altercation with Mr. David Wallop, an influential democrat, who opposes Mr. Wise's election. Mr. Wise is said to have made some reckless declaration, which Mr. Wallop pronounced a "d______d lie." (newspaper's spelling.) Upon this, Mr. Wise dealt him a blow, which would probably cost Wise his life, but for the interference of bystanders, who prevented further difficulty. Wallop is still unredressed; and as both are men of high mettle, "the end is not yet."
 
 
(Time Machine archive, Sept., 2011)

Thanks to former Pocomoke resident M.W. of Columbia, Md. for contributing the following item this week:

The newest issue of the Keystone - the magazine of the Pennsylvania Railroad Historical Society - has an interesting article about another Eastern Shore train wreck. At about 3:15 in the morning on April 2, 1933, the Northbound Cavalier passenger express derailed in Wyoming Delaware - just south of Dover - killing the engineer and fireman, injuring numerous passengers, and destroying much of the Wyoming Ice and Cold Storage Plant. What makes the story interesting is that the Boston Red Sox baseball team occupied the back 3 Pullman cars of the train. They had played a spring training exhibition game in Norfolk, and were on their way north to Newark for another exhibition game. So they had boarded the train in Norfolk, which was then floated across the train car ferry to Cape Charles, and then North through Delmarva with brief layover in Delmar where the train changed crews. Article gives lots of details about the investigation and determination of cause of crash etc. The Red Sox team players were not injured, but got off the train and helped other passengers and received a lot of praise. The team trainer provided first aid until police and ambulance crews arrived. Just another interesting bit of shore history.

Attempted Burglary Leads To High Speed Chase / Arrests Made

Worcester County Sheriff's Office
 
An attempted burglary of a South Point home Saturday morning led police on a high-speed pursuit into Delaware that ended with two suspects in custody.
 
 It started about 9 a.m. when two African-American males attempted a burglary of a home in the 11800 block of Porfin Drive, according to Maryland State Police.
 
 The homeowner fired shots at the suspects, who fled, according to Worcester County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Lt. Ed Schreier. Sheriff’s deputies responded to the home, and spoke with the homeowner, he said.
 
 Over the radio, police said to be on the lookout for the two males driving a white minivan with Virginia tags. A Maryland State Trooper in the area of Route 50 and Route 113 saw the minivan, and attempted to stop it. The drivers didn’t pull over, and the pursuit began.
 
State police and Worcester Sheriff’s deputies pursued the minivan up Route 113 at speeds exceeding 100 mph.
 
 The chase continued into Selbyville, where the suspects turned onto Delaware Road, and bailed out of the car. The suspects were found and taken into custody without incident.
 
 Schreier said Delaware State Police now have the two suspects in custody. He said fugitive warrants must be issued in Maryland. Once Maryland authorities have proper extradition paperwork in place, the suspects can be taken back into Maryland.
 
 The suspects’ names are not available at this time.
