On the evening of Tuesday, April 7th, 2009, an armed robbery having occurred in the parking lot of the Food Lion grocery was reported to the Fruitland Police Department. The subsequent investigation revealed that on that date, the suspects, operating a black Ford Explorer with gold trim, approached a male victim, pointed a 22 cal. revolver at him and robbed him of cash and several other items. They then ordered the victim to remove his outer clothing and shoes which they took with them when they left the scene. The investigation resulted in the obtaining of arrest warrants for both suspects who are brothers.

People who shop at the Fruitland Food Lion in the evening might have appreciated knowing about the armed robbery the day after it happened instead of a week after.
This is excellent! I'm glad to finally see Don Vass getting locked up! He has been selling drugs and menacing salisbury for over a decade! I am certain that they will find the additional charges they are looking for! Another drug dealer/criminal off our streets, way-to-go Fruitland PD!

A five year minimum sentence for the use of the weapon, non-negotiable. See you later, boys!
These two are no strangers to the judiciary system.

Type in VASS in the last name section (don't bother with a first name), select Criminal cases, then select Wicomico County, then Enter.
CDS possession with intent, handgun violations, escape from work release programs, etc.
Time for these brothers to go away for a while.
Way to go Fruitland PD!
Damn and to think we use to ride our bikes together on that very same road. Hi folks I'm Troy Mclure, you might remember me from films such as .....
Those guys are whimps they will never make it in prison maybe as brides.
the wicomico county judiciary system has failed us so far...can't imagine them getting any time that amts to anything!! for some reason you can get a traffic violation and serve more time than they have!!!! imagine that!!! our judges and district attorney sucks!!
question::::: they say it is still under investigation.....
doesn't food lion have cameras in their parking lot?????????? or are their customers NOT SAFE!!!!????? maybe we shouldn't shop there if we can not call the cops and then go back and have the cops watch the video tape of who attacks us in their parking lot to be identified.
yeah, these lil kids will never make it in prison. don vass is a little punk who has intimidated people, he uses his gun because he has insecurities elsewhere. he is just such a little punk who is lucky to still be walking, let alone alive; the way he conducts business. his brother is headed down the same path.
