On Saturday, May 22, 2016, at approximately 7:20 p.m. Ocean City police responded to the Stowaway Grand Hotel, located at 2100 Baltimore Avenue, to assist Ocean City EMS after an individual fell from an eighth-floor balcony on the south side of the building. Ocean City paramedics determined that the victim, Jordan M. Hess, a 29-year-old male of Chambersburg, PA, was deceased shortly after arrival.
Preliminarily, investigators believe that the incident was accidental, however, the cause and manner of death will be determined by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore, MD in the coming days.
Awful news. This years season is starting badly.
ReplyDeleteSo terrible.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we can try to be more accurate?
ReplyDelete1. Ped killed by OCPD in unmarked crosswalk. Assuming he even knew he was in a crosswalk, he did this against the walk signal.
2. OCPD rear ends school bus on RT50 near Rt90. Bus driver knew what he/she was doing because it's a law focused on bus drivers.
3. Reckless Crotch rocket operator gets challenged by visiting law enforcement official who reacts by trying to escape. Operator dies. Official states that they didn't chase him (challenge? Chase? Challenge?)/.Video was on youtube but it disappeared. Why and how so quickly?
A visiting cop is not an authorized cop. There authority stops once they leave their jurisdiction. If everyone agrees, great. We can then concentrate on who should be doing what. You see, Maryland has TOO many cops (organizations) as compared to other states such as DE and that leads to turf and responsibility wars. It can also lead to unnecessary loss of life.
correct a out of town cop can only stop you if he feels someones life is in danger or a wittness to a violent crime he cannot stop you for speeding out of his juristiction a trooper can or that countys sheriff,my bet the out of town cop are backtracking.
DeleteA hurlock cop cant pull u over for speeding in the bury unless your jepordizing soemeones life.
DeleteWHY are out of town cops driving in a different area ? why not use there own personal cars.
DeletePulling wheelies in traffic...to me..is totally putting people's lives at risk
DeleteUmm it was a state Leo who has jurisdiction in ocean city....

ReplyDeleteThe article is about a person falling off a balcony, not a forum to rant about LE. By the way, you are wrong about their authority. They have MOU's.
Once again, folks are trying to shift the responsibility for stupid acts away from the individual and onto someone or something else. The only person responsible for the these deaths is person who is now dead.
ReplyDeleteMaryland Transportation Authority Police have jurisdiction on Maryland Highways like the State Police... so stop the nonsense
ReplyDeleteWHO ? and why would they be doing radar.
DeleteI heard the victim had children who witnessed this. I hope it is not true. That would traumatize for life. So sad.
ReplyDeleteSo the family just happened to be at the spot he died at ? lol cmon,
Delete7:49 - I doubt that poster knows what MOU means.
ReplyDeleteMemorandum of understanding there are u happy.

ReplyDeleteWhy would they be so odd that a family is together? I read they had just gotten to their hotel when this happened.
WHY is the MTA pulling people over ,
ReplyDeleteMemorandum of understanding MOU.
