Incident: Possession of CDS
Date of Incident: 10 March 2010
Location: 401 Naylor Mill Road, Salisbury, MD
Suspect: 1.Steven Dale, 21, Salisbury, MD
2. Male Juvenile, 17 YOA, Parsonsburg, MD

Narrative: On 10 March 2010 at approximately 4:50 PM, Steven Dale and a group of juveniles came to the Wicomico Sheriff’s Office to inquire about an individual who had been recently arrested on charges of Possession of CDS with the Intent to Distribute. Prior to entering the lobby, a deputy observed one of the juveniles throw something into the bushes outside the entrance to the building. The group left the building after inquiring about their associate and was then observed stopping in the area where the item had been thrown in the bushes. The deputy monitoring the surveillance feed observed that one of the subjects apparently retrieved what had been earlier thrown. The deputy exited the building and attempted to stop the group when the individual in question threw something up onto the roof of the building. Sheriff’s Personnel managed to go up on the roof and retrieve what was thrown, a baggie containing pills later determined to be Percocet. The amount of Percocet recovered along with the lack of a prescription among anyone in the group led the deputies to believe the drugs were destined for sale or distribution.

After further investigation, the deputy was able to discern that two members of the group that came to the Sheriff’s Office, Steven Dale and a 17 YOA juvenile, both had shared possession of the CDS. At the conclusion of the investigation, the deputy placed both Dale and the juvenile under arrest.

Dale was detained in the Detention Center on $100,000.00 bond while the juvenile was placed on Electronic monitoring and released to a parent.
