Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team Press Release 2-5-13

On February 1, 2013, members of the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team 
concluded a cocaine distribution investigation in the Pocomoke, Maryland area. 
As a result of this investigation a search and seizure warrant was authored for 
Christopher Shawn Harmon, Age 39, of Pocomoke, Maryland along with his residence 
on 8th Street, Pocomoke, Maryland.  On this date, Harmon was observed operating 
a vehicle in the area of Linden Avenue at which time members of the Criminal 
Enforcement Team attempted to conduct a traffic stop of this vehicle in order to 
execute this search and seizure warrant. Harmon subsequently fled in this 
vehicle on to U.S. Route 13, where he was observed discarding several glass 
vials of cocaine from the window of the vehicle. Harmon was stopped near the 
intersection of U.S. Route 13 and U.S. Route 113, Pocomoke, Maryland at which 
time he was taken into custody without further incident. Approximately 12.2 
grams of cocaine was recovered from the roadway and Harmon’s vehicle. Harmon was 
transported to the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office where he was charged with 
the following offenses:
     Possession of cocaine
     Possession with the intent to distribute cocaine
Harmon was committed to the Worcester County Detention Center on a $25,000.00 
bond. Harmon was just recently released on January 3, 2013 from the Maryland 
Department of Corrections stemming from a previous controlled dangerous 
substance conviction. The Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team was 
assisted by the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, Pocomoke City Police 
Department, and the Maryland State Police.
