High Speed Chase Ends In Juvenile Death

The Maryland State Police were called last night referencing a vehicle in Willards driving recklessly on Canal Street. When the County Police arrived, they searched the area and found the vehicle. When the Deputy turned on his lights and started chasing the vehicle the young man turned off his lights and eluded the Officer.

The Wicomico County Sheriffs Department ultimately found the vehicle near Pittsville Motors and he took off once again. He headed South on Friendship Road then West on Rt. 50. He turned South on Sixty Foot Road where he reached speeds in excess off 110 MPH and the Sheriffs Deputy called in and said he was backing down from the chase, he's driving too fast and pulling away.

The suspect crossed Mt. Herman Road and onto Laws Road where he ultimately failed to negotiate a curve, hit a ditch, went through a group of trees and ultimately flipped end over end where the "seatbelted" suspect was ejected from the vehicle and died.

His Mother, Debbie Lewis, (no relation to Sheriff Lewis) was immediately notified as well as his biological Father who was located in Georgetown. Debbie Lewis works for the Dash In in Willards.

Their Son was 17 years old.

YOU just DON'T read too well, do you?

The Sheriffs Department CHOSE to back down, even though they had every right to continue the chase.

There are reasons I go to these extremes. SOME of YOU want to do nothing but bash me and the WCSD. The Sheriffs Department did what they thought was right and the young man refused to stop or back down.

Oh, try acting big enough to use your name the next time. Or are you afraid of the Sheriffs Department knowing who you are too?

Secondly, I am ONE person, the Daily Times has I believe 200 working for them.

Complain all you want, I'd say I'm doing one heck of a job for a one man show, if I must say so myself.

Joe...the only thing that's everywhere is dog poop. The only good use for the Tilghman Times is dog poop. Coincidence?

Anyway...you're doing a good job. Keep out pooping, I mean out scooping the TT.
