1. Brian Wilkerson, 41, Willards, MD

Narrative

responded to a report that two subjects had backed a trailer up to an unoccupied residence in the 32000

block of Melson Road in Delmar. The responding deputy learned that the two subjects, later identified as

Brian Wilkerson and Ricky Harris, were observed walking around the property by the complainant who

believed the behavior was suspicious and confronted the pair. Harris and Wilkerson left the area in their

vehicle, but the complainant managed to get their registration number which led the deputy to the

subjects. During the ensuing investigation, the deputy concluded that Harris and Wilkerson were both on

the property for illicit reasons and decided to place them under arrest for trespassing.

The deputy transported both Harris and Wilkerson to the Central Booking Unit where they were

processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner. After an initial appearance, both were

released on Personal Recognizance.

1. James P. Arrington, 18, Salisbury, MD

Narrative

stopped a vehicle operated by Devonte Farrare for running a stop sign in Hebron. During the ensuing

encounter on the side of the road, Farrare and his passenger, James Arrington gave the deputy reason to

question their activity which led to the deputy recovering a substantial amount of CDS from the pair. The

deputy located both marijuana and cocaine that were packaged separately and in multiple baggies. The

amount and manner of packaging intimated their intent to distribute the CDS.

detained in the Detention Center in lieu of $15,000.00 bond each.

Suspect:

 

Narrative

stopped to check on an occupied vehicle parked in a closed commercial area. Upon approach to the

vehicle, the deputy observed a hypodermic syringe on the ground adjacent to the vehicle. Believing that

the subject he was speaking to, Stanley Weeks, had just dropped the syringe upon the deputy’s approach,

the deputy decided to investigate the possibility that Weeks was concealing CDS. The deputy

subsequently recovered a crack pipe from Weeks’ shoe and a package of heroin in his sock.

The deputy placed Weeks under arrest and transported him to the Central Booking Unit where he was

processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner. After an initial appearance, the

Commissioner released Weeks on Personal Recognizance.
