Incident: Weapon Violation / Electronic Monitoring Violation
Date of Incident: 20 April 2010
Location: 2400 block of N. Salisbury Blvd., Salisbury, MD
Suspect: Male Juvenile, 17, Delmar, MD

Narrative: On 20 April 2010 at 4:30 PM, a deputy from the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office observed a pick-up truck at the Exxon Station in the 2400 block of N. Salisbury Blvd. While driving by, the deputy noticed that the hard cap over the bed of the pickup was rising up and down as if someone was underneath, pushing it up. The deputy pulled into the lot and watched as the operator of the truck finished fueling, pulled into a parking space in front of the building and went inside. The deputy observed that the hard cap continued to rise up and down as if someone was attempting to peek out.

After the operator finished his business and headed out onto Salisbury Blvd., the deputy stopped the truck to investigate why someone was hiding in the rear of the truck. Upon opening the back, the deputy located a 17 YOA juvenile who the deputy discovered had absconded from his residence in violation of electronic monitoring. The deputy also discovered the juvenile to be in possession of knife with a blade in excess of twelve inches.

The juvenile was taken into custody and brought to the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office where the deputy contacted the Department of Juvenile Services. The juvenile was detained in the Lower Shore Children’s Center pending further adjudication.
