Tracy Ross Sparpaglione, was charged in the Circuit Court with 2nd degree rape, 3rd degree sex offense, 4th degree sex offense, misconduct in office, 1st and 3rd degree burglary. Following a bench trial, he was convicted of misconduct in office and acquitted on the remaining charges. The court sentenced him to one year in jail.
Upon filing an appeal the the conviction has been reversed and all costs are to be paid by Wicomico County.
Upon reading the opinion of the court there are questions raised.
Will he be reinstated in his job at the Salisbury Police Department?
Will he now file a claim against all involved?
Read the opinion Here
OK, I read it. And would suggest that he leave well enough alone.
ReplyDeleteAND, that he find another form of employment...SBY has enough problems with the police dept. without a guy who believes a quickie is one of his benefits.
awesome, I love it...
ReplyDeleteHe won't get his job back but he will "GET PAID!"
ReplyDeleteAnother prime example of TOTAL IMCOMPETANCE on behalf of the State's Attorney's office. They can't even get one word right in the charging document. Anothe waiste of taxpayers dollars at Davis' expense.
ReplyDeleteWow! I read the whole thing as well. He may have been cleared of criminal wrong doing but he still violated department policy by admitting to a sexual encounter while on-duty which is grounds for termination. Plus, being a new officer and still on probation this makes his firing even easier. Law enforcement does not need a guy like this in uniform.
ReplyDeleteWas this a slip-up in the charging document? An idiot's mistake, the confusing of misfeasance, malfeasance and non-feasance.
ReplyDeleteAs for filing a claim to regain the job or suit for unlawful termination, I think not. Regardless of court proceedings, the police department has rules that prohibit such activity while in uniform and on duty. Break the rules, lose the job.
If only it worked that way all the way up the chain of command...
wicomico county pays...aka tax payers
ReplyDeleteI bet his victim is real thrilled.
ReplyDeleteThe girl is a pig flat out, She ruined their lives and still has many court cases after each other! A new kid and what is next?? She was the problem all along.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, SPD and the Davis Ruark cluster flub rush to judgement and prosecute a innocent man. Having sex on duty is a violation of department policy, however there are dozens of local officers, deputies and troopers that have done the dirty on duty. If they were all fired or charged with malfesence then we would be looking for a lot of more officers.
ReplyDeleteI think he did all of those things, and to think he can get off becasue he is or was a cop and probably had someone help cover it up... Not to mention he got off becasue of the Wording the state used? it can't be that easy...
ReplyDeleteLike the 911 perpetrators, there was no need to have a trial. We all know he did it.
ReplyDeleteHe is a man. The woman is a woman.
He did it.
The media reported it.
The government told us he did it.
Why waste money on a trial?
shouldn't we just wrap him in a pig blanket and drag him through downtown? Hang him by his fingernails? Put him into a plane and fly it into a terrorists training camp?
Come on, we all know he did it.
The Court's ruling on the underlying sex offenses changed the whole nature of the case. Not the fault of the SPD investigators or the State's Attorney.
ReplyDeleteSounds like he got off twice.
ReplyDeleteWhy is the guy always to blame?? From her track record it seems as if she sleeps with anyone to get her way out of a situation! I know alot of police officers who are guilty of this same crime, but look at what alot of them deal with, typical man gets something thrown his way normally they dont pass it up!! He was just the unlucky who got caught!
ReplyDeleteIt's the case of; another easy lawsuit allow to happen costing the taxpayers. They all knew the error was made in the document. And, they all did nothing. Let's see who gets paid after everything has settle down among the community. Just watch and remember allparties involved, how their lifestyle will change. Even and including the women. Just pure greed.
ReplyDeletethe victim in this case is a whore...a crazy one at that.
ReplyDeletean error in the document, WHAT the whole case was BULL $pit from the start, trickory to enter the residence, failing to do a thro investigation or dropping all charges only because the alledged victim walks out on the states attorney. misconduct, if they charged everyone who's guilty of that their wouldn't be any police officers in this town,,
ReplyDeleteThere were three firemen with whom she was having sex for some time. Mr Jackson and his close friend who is in the Tiger Mart business and an Acting Lieutenant. The Lieutenant is married and has two children. He is close friends with DC Bragg who you have mentioned here several times. What a trailer park soap opera this is. What a disgrace.
ReplyDeleteThe residents of Wicomico County keep doing it to themselves. You elect these folks. So now you must pay.
ReplyDeletewording error, still on my mind, so i looked up misconduct, three elements are required, able to hold office, act in office this case on duty and commit a unlawful act, if he was found not guilty of any criminal charges sex on duty is not in any criminal law book, so he should of been aquitted during his trial, i read some this about a bill of particulars?? the criminal charges in this case were the that, stating each charge on the date time location and so forth right? but the jugde couldn't set him free because he beat the system, so decided to right law at the bench (Sonya Sotomyor), they must of took the same law classes, and now we the citizens of Wicomico must pay once again for another mistake from our wonderful elected officals.. what a nice day.
ReplyDeleteOk, we need a pic of the female.
ReplyDeleteBet you can find anyone on face book myspace of any other social network,,, This guy is damn good looking, anyone where he can be reached I'll let him have his way with me.
ReplyDeleteok so what if the girl is a slut/whore? the officer admitted her had sex with her while on duty...that in itself is a no no..he knew better..maybe not criminal charges but if on probation then yes definately off the force. if he doesn't follow rules on probation he wont follow them later on...we certainly dont need anymore bad cops in this county...
ReplyDeleteAnyone who excuses this as "it's done all the time" needs their head examined. The testosterone defense doesn't fly.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of misconduct is a power trip, not just I'm-gonna-git-me-sum.
Our officers (and firefighters, too) have to have their big heads on straight under stress. If they can't do it when not under stress or let their little heads rule, I sure as hell don't want my life in their hands when all hell busts loose.
Longing for the days when a little maturity existed.

Dude, I don't think he is gay. Go back to playing Drop the Soap with the rest of your Farmin buddies.
Patrick Andrews. Are you surprised ?
ReplyDeleteJackson and Gordy took advantage of a college student who visited station 16 several times. They told everyone how they had sex while riding down Camden Ave. and then in the dorm. She was under age and Jackson had a girlfriend, one child and one on the way. They wre both over 21 and she was a minor. A captain convinced her to undress in the second floor of the old station and got away with it when it became known. White trash.
ReplyDeleteBunky denied what ?
ReplyDeleteHey!! Guess what you want the whores name at the bottom of the post states : READ the opnion HERE!! click the word here. and it goes to the appeaql and there is the local whores name...LOL!! :o)
ReplyDeleteSPD will not reinstate him. Why would they reinstate him after a criminal offence? He was fired for a disiplinary issue. If he sues the city then Kramer would have a better case than him. What they did to Kramer was just wrong. I saw his CFS, arrests, traffic and stats. SPD should be a shamed and Hitty isn't a cop in my book. Yes I work at this hell hole. SPD better be glade he doesn't lawyer up! I would back him up 100% F*** SPD
ReplyDelete7:25 you whore. Must be the chick he delt with that got him fired.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why this guy is even going through all this trouble, I mean seriously he's already done the time why bring up things that happened in the past. Is he trying to make a HUGE ordeal, even when all of this happened it wasn't some HUGE thing. And im sure his "wife" doesn't want to honestly deal with this all over again, i know i wouldn't i would want to forget it all ever came about. As for the victim, why not let her move on forget all that happened and move on, why keep throwing this all in her face and the faces of all the plp that had to deal with it back then....
