SALISBURY DRUG DEALER SENTENCED TO FIFTEEN YEARS IN PRISON

On June 25, 2013, a Wicomico County jury convicted Timyron Lamont Hutt, age 23, of Salisbury, Maryland, of possession with the intent to distribute heroin and possession with the intent to distribute cocaine. Following the jury trial, a Wicomico County Circuit Court judge sentenced Hutt to 15 years in the Maryland Division of Corrections for the heroin offense. The first 10 years of that sentence represented a mandatory minimum, non-parole eligible sentence based upon Hutt’s status as a subsequent offender. Hutt had previously been convicted of possession with the intent to distribute narcotics in 2008. Under the count related to possession with the intent to distribute cocaine, Hutt was sentenced to 5 years. That 5 years was suspended and a term of 5 years of probation was imposed upon his release from prison.

Hutt had been pending charges related to his arrest by members of the Maryland State Police Gang Enforcement Unit. After conducting an investigation into a drug complaint, troopers discovered that Hutt had an outstanding warrant for a parole violation related to an earlier drug conviction. After placing Hutt under arrest, troopers discovered a significant amount of heroin as well as cocaine in a baggie which was concealed between the cheeks of Hutt’s buttocks.

Wicomico County State’s Attorney Matthew A. Maciarello commended the Maryland State Police Gang Enforcement Unit for its work in the investigation and prosecution of this case. Mr. Maciarello also thanked James L. Britt who prosecuted Hutt.
