On July 29, 2010 at approximately 2:18 pm, Officers of the Salisbury Police responded to a vehicle traffic stop conducted by the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Department on White Richardson Road in Pittsville. The stop was due to the deputy observing two (2) vehicles operating in an unsafe manner. The deputy learned that the driving was the result of an incident that occurred earlier in the parking lot of the Twilley Center in Salisbury. The Salisbury officer met with one of the drivers who advised that he had been the victim of a robbery, conducted by the suspect who was operating the second vehicle. The victim advised that while in the parking lot of the Twilley Center, the suspect reached inside of his vehicle, hit his arm and took U.S. currency that he was holding in his hand. The suspect then fled from the lot in his vehicle, prompting the victim to follow the suspect until the deputy intervened. Upon contact, the suspect was also found to be in possession of prescription medication without the proper prescription.
