Salisbury Man Sentenced To 20 Years For Robbing A Fruitland Convenience Store With A Gun


On Thursday, April 2, 2009, 37-year-old Isaac Fields was found guilty of Armed Robbery, Robbery, 1st Degree Assault, Use of a Handgun in a Crime of Violence, 2nd Degree Assault, Reckless Endangerment, and Handgun on a Person and sentenced to 20 years in the Division of Correction.

Assistant State’s Attorney Jennifer Rothschild says late on the night of August 24, 2008, Fields walked into the Eagle Express Mart in Fruitland, pulled a handgun out of his waistband, and demanded money from the clerk. Fields left the store with $968.00. Rothschild says nearly a month later, on September 23, 2008, Fields was apprehended at a traffic stop by Salisbury Police.

Assistant State’s Attorney Kristen Ross says, then on February 12, 2009, Fields was convicted of Felony Possession of a Handgun for the gun found on Fields during his September 23, 2008 arrest and sentenced to 5 years without parole.
Fields’ 20-year sentence for Armed Robbery is consecutive to the 5-year sentence for Felony Handgun Possession.

Both of these cases were a joint law enforcement effort of the Fruitland Police Department and the Salisbury Police Department.

Sounds like a good job from the FPD, the SPD, and the States Attorneys office. Kudos to the judge as well for handing down a meaningful sentence. Now lets catch the POS that shot Ted Shea and put his butt behind bars for the next couple of decades too.
