Incident: Weapon Violation
Date of Incident: 30 December 2011
Location: 9000 block of Ocean Highway, Delmar, MD
Suspect: James Ian Taylor, 23, Laurel, DE

Narrative: On 30 December 2011
at 12:16 AM, a deputy was investigating a disturbance in the 9000 block of Ocean Highway in Delmar when the deputy stopped to check on James Taylor who was sitting in a vehicle nearby. During the encounter with Taylor, the deputy noticed behavior that raised the deputy’s suspicions about the activities Taylor was engaged in. While standing at the side of the vehicle, Taylor
acted in a way as if he was trying to conceal something beside the seat. The deputy made repeated requests to see identification from Taylor and for Taylor to exit the vehicle, both of which were either ignored or refused. The deputy assisted Taylor out of his vehicle and then conducted a search of the vehicle which led to the recovery of three large knives, all hidden but within easy reach of Taylor.

The deputy placed Taylor 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 detained Taylor in the Detention Center in lieu of $5,000.00 bond.

Charges: Concealed Dangerous Weapon

That bowen guy has been arrested recently I.e. last couple of months..for the same charges of dressing in womens lingerie while smoking crack cocaine and engaging in sexual behaviors to himself while alone in a vehicle. While he is alone I feel that this guy should be treated as a sex offender.just think if this guys was in his car next time and a child witnesses his acts.while so far there has been no instances like that yet...thank god....he needs to be places as a sex offender to deter it from happening in a school zone or back street where a child could be affected. And if it did affect a child a full punishment would be able to be imposed against such a sick individual. Such as this man is.he is a time bomb waiting to explode.the state needs to insure the safety of our kids.
