On May 24, 2010 at 2326 hours, A Trooper from the Salisbury Barrack of the Maryland State Police stopped a Ford F 350 on Powell Road near 60 foot Road in Pittsville for a traffic violation. Upon contacting the driver, the Trooper noticed a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from within the vehicle. The Troopers asked the driver to step from his vehicle at which time the Trooper noticed the driver discard a plastic baggie of suspected MARIHUANA. The Trooper continued his investigation and subsequently arrested the driver, Neal Robert Pope, 42, of Willards, with DUI/DWI and possession of MARIHUANA. Pope was turned over to a District Court Commissioner pending a hearing.
This is either his 5th or 6th time around with dui/dwi. Maybe this time the courts will sentance him under the subsuquent offenders law and give him a mandatory 3 years in jail.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonder that this guy hasn't killed someone yet, or maybe it's a matter of time.
