Wicomico County Sheriff's Office Press Release

Incident: Driving Under the Influence / Theft
Date of Incident: 11 May 2009
Location: 8500 block of Athol Road, Mardela Springs, MD
Suspect: George E. Willey, 44, Federalsburg, MD

Narrative: On 11 May 2009 at 8:41 PM, a deputy responded to the 8500 block of Athol Road for the report of a vehicle that had run off the road into a field. Upon arrival, the deputy met with the owner of the field who stated that they had witnessed an individual later identified as George Willey, leave the vehicle after it became stuck in the field. Willey returned to the scene upon the deputy’s arrival and the deputy observed that Willey appeared visibly under the influence of alcohol. Willey was adamant that he was not driving the truck, yet the deputy located the keys to the truck in Willey’s possession and discovered Willey’s personal property inside the truck.


Upon further investigation, the deputy discovered that Willey’s driver’s license was suspended. Also the registration plate displayed on the truck was discovered to be stolen from Delaware. Hence, the truck was therefore both unregistered and uninsured.


Willey was placed under arrest and transported to the Central Booking Unit at the Detention Center where he was processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner. After an initial appearance, Willey was detained by the Commissioner in lieu of $5,000.00 bond.

That DUI will not stick in court. Keep track to this one

Whenever I am out riding the roads "drunk as a skunk", I always carry an empty 1/2 pint of bourbon filled with tea.As soon as an officer pulls me over I toss the keys into the back seat and guzzle the 1/2 pint in view of him.He can't charge me with DUI because I am not in near proximity to the keys and he can't prove that the alcohol was consumed prior to him pulling me over.Works every time!

Joe:

This is such a shame. If you recall your post from last week about the person in Mardela Springs that was killed after being hit by another car...this was his relative and possibly his brother!

That accident was caused by alcohol and now this...guess a lesson was not learned.

Severe counseling is needed here!
