On October 7, 2011 at approximately 3:33 am, Officers of the Salisbury Police received a call to respond to the area of Alabama Avenue and Beauchamp Street for the report of a rape. Upon arrival the officers met with an adult female victim who advised that while in a parking lot at the end of Alabama Avenue she was accosted by a lone suspect. The victim stated that the suspect produced a knife and forced her to re-locate to an area away from the parking lot where she was raped. The suspect then fled from the area on foot.
Salisbury officers established a perimeter and immediately began a search. The officers, along with the assistance of Salisbury K-9 Miso apprehended the suspect after a substantial foot chase. The suspect, listed below, has been identified by Detectives as responsible for the rape. The victim was transported to the Peninsula Regional Medical Center for treatment and was released. The investigation also revealed that the suspect was responsible for an earlier attempted assault on an adult female in the area of the Super Giant food store on South Salisbury Boulevard.
Chief Duncan commended the officers of the Salisbury Police Department, the Wicomico County State’s Attorney’s Office, the Salisbury University Police and the Wicomico Bureau of Investigation who worked to bring this case to a successful conclusion.
This investigation is continuing.

Now if we can get the judge and jury to do their job.
ReplyDeleteIs Miso trained like the dog on Columbiana? She would feed him big steaks and say "eat" when it was time so that when criminals came around she would say "eat" and the dogs would eat the criminals.
ReplyDeleteGood dog Miso.
No 7:16 you are wrong. It's- now if we can get the states attorney to not offer a plea deal especially one offering the less serious charge. And also not part of the plea deal being a reduced sentence.
ReplyDelete7:44 PM
ReplyDeleteCount on it, especially since he is such a youthful offender.
Not saying it's right, just the way it usually is.
7:16pm to 7:44pm
ReplyDeleteYou may be correct. There's so many weak links in the chain now days. It's almost become a joke.
Way to go Chief Duncan. Thanks for what you do.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm just an old person, but what in the hell are people sitting in the cars, walking the streets and doing "whatever" in Salisbury, If it was Baltimore or NYC I might understand a little better.
ReplyDeleteThey should put the physical description of the person in the paper. You may see a commonality
ReplyDeleteThat's racism at its finest. This young man was given life for raping a woman who is still alive. Yet a young black man who was murdered not too long ago his killer only received 30 years. Justice is not justice when the only thing still being seen is skin color.
DeleteA weak chainthis young man got life in jail for raping a woman. What about the young man who was murdered and his killer got 30 years? Justice is not justice at all.
ReplyDelete@ Heart...I agree completely, I would like to see how many people would be so quick to condemn this young man if he was anything other than black. It's become a joke how much we've expected things to change but when it comes to race, most things stay the same.
