Incident: Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol
Date of Incident: 11 March 2014
Location: 500 Glen Ave, Salisbury, MD
Suspect: Alvin Ray Powell, 66, Snow Hill, MD
Narrative: On 11 March 2014 at 6:15 a deputy was at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center participating with the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) victim impact panel. The purpose of the panel is for DUI offenders to meet with victims of drunk driving.
The deputy observed that an individual, later identified as Alvin Powell, had approached the sign in table for the panel attendees. The deputy observed that Powell not only appeared visibly intoxicated but gave off an overwhelming odor of an alcoholic beverage. The deputy began to investigate the circumstance of how Powell arrived at the Civic Center and soon learned that he had given another individual, Jason T. Lynch, 34 of Snow Hill, a ride to event as he was required to attend the panel as the result of a recent DUI conviction. The deputy located Jason Lynch and determined that he too had been consuming alcohol.
The deputy went to check on the vehicle that Powell reportedly had driven to Civic Center and located another individual inside, Ronald T. Lynch, 66 of Snow Hill, in the rear seat of the vehicle. The deputy observed that Lynch had an open container of beer with him and a cooler that would be found to be full of beer. Ronald Lynch was visibly under the influence of alcohol.
After corroborating that Powell had driven both Jason and Ronald Lynch to the Civic Center, the deputy administered sobriety testing to Powell. At the conclusion of the testing, Powell was placed under arrest. During processing, Powell provided a breath sample that measured .15.
All subjects were charged on citations and released to sober drivers.
Charges: Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (Powell)
Consumption of Alcohol on Public Property (Jason and Ronald Lynch)

Just because I've been to those meetings I say this...That meeting is so emotionally charged I CAN'T rap my mind around someone being so selfish and inconsiderate to go to that DRUNK or even with the smell of alcohol on their breathe...I learned so much from meeting the victims...How dare these 3 guys insult them by showing up drunk...I hope they get the book thrown at them...especially the one that was court ordered to be there..I'm sure the judge will be real impressed...Lock them up!
I'm not a lawyer but I don't think this one will hold up in court.
Oh I feel soooo much safer now.

Our resident Cop Hater has awoken!
By the way someone should be safer. Those 3 drunks did not drive home and kill someone on the way.
