Suspects:
1. Corey M. Williamson, 25, Snow Hill, MD
2. Christopher L. Newman, 21, Snow Hill, MD
3. Charles E. Newman, 25, Snow Hill, MD

Narrative: On 28 September 2008 at 1:15AM, a deputy was patrolling through Hebron, MD when he observed a vehicle parked on the side of the road near the intersection of Lillian Street and Chestnut Tree Road. Upon approaching the operator, identified as Charles Newman, the deputy was advised that the passenger of the vehicle was fixing a flat tire. The deputy instructed Charles Newman to pull the vehicle further off the road. After this was done, the deputy discovered that the two passengers were not fixing a flat tire, but instead located them behind an Acura that was parked in close proximity to Newman’s. When the deputy investigated further, he saw the two passengers were in the process of removing the wheels from the Acura. Two wheels had already been removed and they were in the process of taking off the third. It was later determined that the trio intended to steal all four wheels from the Acura.

All three were arrested and transported to the Central Booking Unit at the Wicomico County Detention Center where they were processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner. After an initial appearance, the three suspects were released after posting $5,000.00 bond each.

Charges:

Theft over $500
