WBOC's Weatherman Brian Keane Arrested For DUI 10-17-16
Brian was arrested this past weekend in Fruitland for a DUI. UPDATE: There is nothing published on the Maryland Case Search Website. WBOC published the following.
Meteorologist Arrested for DUI
SALISBURY, Md.- Maryland State Police say WBOC meteorologist Brian Keane has been arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.
Troopers say the incident happened over the weekend in Wicomico County.
State police say Keane was arrested near the Route 50 Bypass in Fruitland.
Might be like the state trooper that turned his truck over super bowl weekend and was never charged. Only little people have to obey the law these days it seems.
Wonder if he was forced to shave his beard? Was despondent over it? I still like him. Always acted professional. We all make mistakes in life. I hope he keeps his job. I also like to drink from time to time, but I stay home and do this and on a Friday or Saturday night with friends who stay over. Got to watch out for those revenue enhancement officers!
Sorry too hear this everyone makes mistakes. I'm glad no one was hurt. Its a shame he was in the top news tonight. No one is perfect. Just doesn't pay too drink and drive. Unfortunately this is only the beginning.
When Westside Vol Fire Dept was hit, WBOC reported it. Thats all. Never said who did and if alcohol or road conditions involved. Just wondering why story reported but questions usually asked and reported on werent. That was end of story.
TFC. T. Workman took this drunk of or roads TFC. T.Workman is one of the best young Troopers I have ever seen he is a drunk driving locking up machine thank you TFC.T. Workman for your dedication to our county.
They legalized alcohol, for the taxes; didn't care about the negative effect it would have on individuals and families, and communities. Now MJ is being legalized for the taxes, and more people will be driving under the influence of drugs. Can't wait to see the destruction this will have on society.
Give the guy a break. I don't care who you are, we've all made mistakes. I don't know Brian Keane personally, but he seems to be an educated individual in his profession. And, he's a lot better to look at than the competition (including the others at WBOC).
Dear GOD what's up with all the Trooper Workman comments??? Don't we all want to have decent, honest, and highly competent police working in our community??
It's a shame this happened, and all the fallout it has caused. But when a person, ANY person makes THEIR own decision to drink and drive, you have to expect the worse.
The only bright spot in the weather segment was either Brian or Mike. Dan scares the hell out of me.
Is Keane his real last name? Sometimes they use different names on air, maybe that's why it's not on case search. Just a thought! Like Jimmy Hoppa...that's not his real first OR last name..
How many times have mayors and X mayors driven around town drunl ? And never TOUCHED ? HEY Trooper workman why not hangout downtown in Dabury and lock up a politician ? BC you guys only hit the little guy in the po cket and no balls to lock up the real criminals ie Politicians.
Before you all jump all over me, let me be clear. I'm not condoning drinking and driving or driving while impaired but the truth is, you don't have to be drunk to be over the legal BA limit.
So what he is human! just because he is a weatherman he should be a saint? You Wouldnt believe the things our teachers do on a daily basis .. how about the cops that smoke dope but don't get caught ... so what he had some alcohol and made a wrong choice ... get over it people there are more pressing things to worry about .. like if Hillary wins presidency
I don't drink at all but I would venture to guess that more than 3/4's of the people commenting on this post do. I would like to find ONE person on this thread who is without sin or who has never made a mistake. If he were a repeat offender, I could I understand but this is ridiculous!!!
I feel for him. I had a DUI over thirty years ago, and I still had to account for this when I had to look for a new job after being laid off after 25 years. Thanks to Google and the internet, the past can come back to bite you in the ass!
They might as well close all bars because in Maryland all you need is one beer to be declared intoxicated! Why the hell have Beer or Wine fests? The chamber of commerce promotes this and the cops are there waiting to arrest you at the exit!
I think he is a great weather guy and I hope WBOC will give him another chance. One of the few real men working there! Just hope he has a good lawyer, he will need one!
In the state of Maryland if you have no active cases or probation you can petition court to have any and all Maryland cases you've blocked from public view. You can do this one time only
His life isn't ruined!! If it's his first offense probation before judgement fines court cost alcohol classes. Truth be told WBOC has been sitting back waiting on this, why else would they put it out all over their newscast?? They wanted a reason if they've let him go because of this
Interesting that I don't see this on the WMDT website... but Brian's employers called him out. Guess they have never been called out on the local news when they did something moronic. Don't get me wrong...this shouldn't have happened. But smearing his name is a little much!
If people can't enjoy a beer or glass of wine out then the restaurants shouldn't be allowed to serve it. I'm totally aware of the dangers of driving while intoxicated; but if people were honest, many if not most of us at some time in our lives have had a drink or two out at a restaurant (or elsewhere) and drove home just fine without incident (luckily without getting caught). This post doesn't say what his blood alcohol count was.... was it only moderately above the amount legally allowed or was he actually intoxicated?
Brian seems like a nice and likable guy, and he's a pretty good meteorologist. (He had an unlucky day).
Well his coworker ran off the road, went into a ditch near Delmar with her child in the vehicle and assaulted the police officers all while under the influence of alcohol. She is still alive and employed there. Smh
He is a human being just like everyone else. I bet everyone making comments isn't perfect as long as he gets the same punishment someone who isn't in the public eye it isn't amyones business. We should be praying he gets help that's all.
Awww Come on! Its obvious all the Workman comments is this officer trying to get his 15 minutes and his name known. Geeesh. You did your job that your paid to do. Now cut out the foolishness.
Yeah. There is a huge difference between a .03 and .3, so which is it? I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure .03 is well below the legal limit of .08 sooooooooo. I feel like any other time a DUI/DWI is reported, the comments are much more hateful. "Oh, he could've killed someone" "What an idiot"... now not so much.
For God sake cut him some slack not like he was in an accident, or killed someone. I think he does a fantastic job very professional. Worked for his Dad, Mom and Dad were both great to me, good people. Must have been a real slow day for WBOC, not like their people haven't done the same, my sister worked there and she was and still drinks and drives.
Nah, Brent Black isnt concerned with getting attention. He's very proud to tell anyone, who will listen, that "Bill" (MSP Colonel) knows who he is and that "Bill" will certainly promote him.
WBOC needs to put their "big boy" pants on and support this kid. Grab this opportunity to show they are a family, welcome him back, and yes he should apologize on air, but get on with it. Evidently, Brian has a huge local and not-so local following; what a great example he can be now, especially for the millennials.
You must be talking about Chris Black. Brent would have had to arrest you during the few weeks he was on field training. That is the only experience he has stopping cars.
Yep, that's him. No experience working the road but wants to hold others accountable for their production by taking their cars. How did that work out when SLEOLA came knocking? Same way it worked out when he screwed up the testing process, another promotion.
Hold up people its a DUI not a DWI. Anybody that has had 2 beers could get a DUI. I know a lot of you go to dinner and have a couple from time to time then drive home and if you say no you are lying. I hope he doesn't get fired he was on his own time not working. At least he wasn't found running around a parking lot in OC naked...wait I'd like to see him naked.
Anyone give any thought of praying for Brian. A man with many good qualities but has a problem or addition. Brian I am praying that you will seek the help to overcome alcohol. We love you and I am lift you up in prayer...
I hope they don't fire Brian but women anchors that get pregnant seem to never come back except Alice Bavis and they gave her the worst time slot you could give a mother of two young children. Just saying. Good luck Brian
Amen. He made a wrong judgement call like every one does in their life. He got caught and is payn for it. Their are ppl who have DUI after DUI and get a slap on the wrist. Leave the poor man alone..... what if someone criticized you for every mistake you made
DUI - Driving Under the Influence; DWI - Driving While Impaired - different charges, different penalties. DWI used to be the biggest offense when it was Driving While Intoxicated. That was changed a couple of years ago. Now DWI means Driving While Impaired. DUI carries a 1 year &/or $1,000.00 maximum penalty while DWI carries 2 months &/or $500.00 penalty.
Laws are laws, he broke it now he will have to deal with the punishment.everybody here need's to be thankful that it's just a dui not a manslaughter case. I have been a victim of dui lost my entire family to a .02 DUI driver. I Glad to see him caught,maybe it saved someone in your family. Think about it that way. You will not make jokes if it was your family.
You people are pitiful. 95% of this country has probably been guilty of DUI at one time or another, but have simply had luck on their side and dodged the law long enough to get home. Yet you saints feel the need to come on this pathetic blog site of worthless news and put your two cents in.
Does WBOC stand for Bring Own Coolers? Why are there so many losers working at this station? Dan Satterfield doesn't scare me it's that new guy Karli who looks angry all the time.
I was totally thinking the same thing! He was really feeling that beard lol! Didn't they even have a shave it /keep it poll? I'm a recovering alcoholic so I know all about drunken mistakes. I wish him well.

dan said it would be like this.
Stormy weather ahead!
Saw him in Delmar Pizza one time with a tall one. Not saying that man can't enjoy a brew or anything, but maybe he enjoys more than he should.
at least WBOC was up on that news story and posted it but they don't anything else
Obviousley has DA FRIENDS.
Didn't see that coming like the snow storm.....
Might be like the state trooper that turned his truck over super bowl weekend and was never charged. Only little people have to obey the law these days it seems.
If you were stuck at "BOC" you would be a drinker too.
Dan drove brian to drink with all the bad forcasts lol.
They hang there own first but supress local real news by running to DELAWARE.
Dumb ass the trooper was charged and had his court date. Check the case search. Again don't know what your talking about
Sooooo........ Everybody has a bad day every now and then. No one is perfect.
This one is a shocker. I heard in town that he was boozing it up with Jimmy Ireton. Now that's a story! More than just a DUI maybe haha.
I used to enjoy watching him to see his level of hangover eyes wee like 2 piss holes in the snow.lol he needed tooth picks to hold his eyes lids open.
I was about to say the same thing! People get on my nerves.
Wonder if he was forced to shave his beard? Was despondent over it? I still like him. Always acted professional. We all make mistakes in life. I hope he keeps his job. I also like to drink from time to time, but I stay home and do this and on a Friday or Saturday night with friends who stay over. Got to watch out for those revenue enhancement officers!
Noticed Dan wasn't there tonight for the 6pm news. Wonder if it was because of this?
Sorry too hear this everyone makes mistakes. I'm glad no one was hurt. Its a shame he was in the top news tonight. No one is perfect. Just doesn't pay too drink and drive. Unfortunately this is only the beginning.
If everyone in America stopped drinking in bars, the economy would be in a depression.
WBOC way out in front of this...something doesn't smells right with this one.
When Westside Vol Fire Dept was hit, WBOC reported it. Thats all. Never said who did and if alcohol or road conditions involved. Just wondering why story reported but questions usually asked and reported on werent. That was end of story.
TFC. T. Workman took this drunk of or roads TFC. T.Workman is one of the best young Troopers I have ever seen he is a drunk driving locking up machine thank you TFC.T. Workman for your dedication to our county.
Maybe Dan, the weatherman, was at the rocket launch. Maybe they actually are sending him into space to find "the weather"!
I heard he was drink chuck Norris extra strong lager
Brian Keene can eat hops,barley,yeast,water and piss Russia imperial stout in a matter of minutes

They legalized alcohol, for the taxes; didn't care about the negative effect it would have on individuals and families, and communities.

Dear GOD what's up with all the Trooper Workman comments??? Don't we all want to have decent, honest, and highly competent police working in our community??
It's a shame this happened, and all the fallout it has caused. But when a person, ANY person makes THEIR own decision to drink and drive, you have to expect the worse.
The only bright spot in the weather segment was either Brian or Mike. Dan scares the hell out of me.
Yawnnnnn
I bet he is a hypocrite out of town.
Joe when will obama let off ALL the DUI cases ? Why not there BS charge DWI i can understand but DUI is BS.
Is Keane his real last name? Sometimes they use different names on air, maybe that's why it's not on case search. Just a thought! Like Jimmy Hoppa...that's not his real first OR last name..
How many times have you drank amd gotten away with it ??
How many times have mayors and X mayors driven around town drunl ? And never TOUCHED ? HEY Trooper workman why not hangout downtown in Dabury and lock up a politician ? BC you guys only hit the little guy in the po cket and no balls to lock up the real criminals ie Politicians.
Ruin a guys life bc he blows a .3 which is a beer absolut BS.
Thank you for commenting about yourself Tfc Workman
Before you all jump all over me, let me be clear. I'm not condoning drinking and driving or driving while impaired but the truth is, you don't have to be drunk to be over the legal BA limit.
Superman wears Tpr. Workman pajamas
When Tpr. Workman snaps his fingers Fonzie shows off
Stop talking about how great Tpr. Workman is. Brent Black will be jealous he isn't getting attention and punish him for doing such a great job.
The rock smells what Chuck Norris
is cooking
So what he is human! just because he is a weatherman he should be a saint? You Wouldnt believe the things our teachers do on a daily basis .. how about the cops that smoke dope but don't get caught ... so what he had some alcohol and made a wrong choice ... get over it people there are more pressing things to worry about .. like if Hillary wins presidency
I don't drink at all but I would venture to guess that more than 3/4's of the people commenting on this post do. I would like to find ONE person on this thread who is without sin or who has never made a mistake. If he were a repeat offender, I could I understand but this is ridiculous!!!
Tpr. Workman is the reason Waldo his hiding
Tpr. Workman can slam a revolving door
I heard Tpr Workman wears a cape
Tpr. Workman can divide by zero
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself the only thing fear has to figure Is Tpr. Workman
All nonsense aside you know it's BAD when your employer reports it on their 6:00 evening news!! Have a little compassion there WBOC
I feel for him. I had a DUI over thirty years ago, and I still had to account for this when I had to look for a new job after being laid off after 25 years. Thanks to Google and the internet, the past can come back to bite you in the ass!
They might as well close all bars because in Maryland all you need is one beer to be declared intoxicated! Why the hell have Beer or Wine fests? The chamber of commerce promotes this and the cops are there waiting to arrest you at the exit!
I think he is a great weather guy and I hope WBOC will give him another chance. One of the few real men working there! Just hope he has a good lawyer, he will need one!
Tell how many accidents happen from drinking and driving. How many happen from smoking pot
Anyone who has been to Market Street could have told you years ago that this was coming!!
In the state of Maryland if you have no active cases or probation you can petition court to have any and all Maryland cases you've blocked from public view. You can do this one time only
Why couldn't be d head Dan?
That is true
His life isn't ruined!! If it's his first offense probation before judgement fines court cost alcohol classes. Truth be told WBOC has been sitting back waiting on this, why else would they put it out all over their newscast?? They wanted a reason if they've let him go because of this

Brian seems like a nice and likable guy, and he's a pretty good meteorologist. (He had an unlucky day).
He is very good at his job and unlike the rest actually has a sense of humor and personality. He definitely enjoys living life what wrong with hat
Amen
Well his coworker ran off the road, went into a ditch near Delmar with her child in the vehicle and assaulted the police officers all while under the influence of alcohol. She is still alive and employed there. Smh
great points ...great points....but the Brown Shirts are just another TAX COLLECTOR under local laws not voted on by the voting republic...
Totally agree! Some people need to worry about other things. And do research about the more important things.
He is a human being just like everyone else. I bet everyone making comments isn't perfect as long as he gets the same punishment someone who isn't in the public eye it isn't amyones business. We should be praying he gets help that's all.
😂 😂 😂 This comment sounds fishy. Lol. Someone maybe tootn their own horn. Lol
Awww Come on! Its obvious all the Workman comments is this officer trying to get his 15 minutes and his name known. Geeesh. You did your job that your paid to do. Now cut out the foolishness.
Who cares, thats his business. Cover something important.
Wow... who was that?!
"Let he, who is without sin, cast the first stone."
We've all done this and we got away with it. So what, get the guy back to work. We miss him.
Blowing a .3 is pretty significant, blowing a .03 isn't bad
Yeah. There is a huge difference between a .03 and .3, so which is it? I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure .03 is well below the legal limit of .08 sooooooooo. I feel like any other time a DUI/DWI is reported, the comments are much more hateful. "Oh, he could've killed someone" "What an idiot"... now not so much.
It's up on the case search now...
8:28 am, look on case search. He was driving a little dangerously...so yes he could have killed someone!
Did you ever consider it is his friends goofing on him? Coworkers do itt ALL the time for fun. Lighten up.
For God sake cut him some slack not like he was in an accident, or killed someone. I think he does a fantastic job very professional. Worked for his Dad, Mom and Dad were both great to me, good people. Must have been a real slow day for WBOC, not like their people haven't done the same, my sister worked there and she was and still drinks and drives.
Trooper Workman can smell Mike Lewis 200 yards away and that is when he has a cold
Nah, Brent Black isnt concerned with getting attention. He's very proud to tell anyone, who will listen, that "Bill" (MSP Colonel) knows who he is and that "Bill" will certainly promote him.
Yes!!!
@10:50, please tell your sister to STAY OFF THE ROADS!! That's real mature of her.
Yeah This is how the holier than though think. Alcohol will destroy lives way more than mj
Yes, tell us who?
I was pulled over for drunk driving once by Trooper Black.
WBOC needs to put their "big boy" pants on and support this kid. Grab this opportunity to show they are a family, welcome him back, and yes he should apologize on air, but get on with it. Evidently, Brian has a huge local and not-so local following; what a great example he can be now, especially for the millennials.
Impossible. He never worked the road.
You must be talking about Chris Black. Brent would have had to arrest you during the few weeks he was on field training. That is the only experience he has stopping cars.
Yep, that's him. No experience working the road but wants to hold others accountable for their production by taking their cars. How did that work out when SLEOLA came knocking? Same way it worked out when he screwed up the testing process, another promotion.

Anyone give any thought of praying for Brian. A man with many good qualities but has a problem or addition. Brian I am praying that you will seek the help to overcome alcohol. We love you and I am lift you up in prayer...
@3:27, I am praying for him too!!
I hope they don't fire Brian but women anchors that get pregnant seem to never come back except Alice Bavis and they gave her the worst time slot you could give a mother of two young children. Just saying. Good luck Brian
This guy is a weather man at a local news station. I wouldn't exactly count him out of the "little people" category.
When did it become we your representative instead of we the people???
So you don't drink and never done drugs.You must be so much fun.How do you fit in to society?
Wow hes human imagine that
Amen!!
Amen. He made a wrong judgement call like every one does in their life. He got caught and is payn for it. Their are ppl who have DUI after DUI and get a slap on the wrist. Leave the poor man alone..... what if someone criticized you for every mistake you made

Lots of mean people. We don't all the facts.
He might get drunk but he is a Damm good weather man
Or like the doctor in Milford that flipped his car drunk with open container picked up and released on all charges and never made the news.
Laws are laws, he broke it now he will have to deal with the punishment.everybody here need's to be thankful that it's just a dui not a manslaughter case. I have been a victim of dui lost my entire family to a .02 DUI driver. I Glad to see him caught,maybe it saved someone in your family. Think about it that way. You will not make jokes if it was your family.
There is a saying that Pee Wee Herman used to say....I Know I Am But What Are You? We need more love and compassion for one another.
No we all haven't. Speak for yourself only.
He is human like the rest of us. We all make mistakes. Hope to see you back on 16 Brian.
Really? Like we all havent made a bad decision in our lifetime? Cut the man some slack i hope he doesnt lose his job
Do your research pot helps medically alcohol dont
You people are pitiful. 95% of this country has probably been guilty of DUI at one time or another, but have simply had luck on their side and dodged the law long enough to get home. Yet you saints feel the need to come on this pathetic blog site of worthless news and put your two cents in.
Would you all leave Dan out of this!!! We are happy you all have him!
Why doesn't Jimmy Hoppa use his real name on air. He's not a radio guy any more. Let's call him Owen, his actual name.
@11:42, Jimmy's name is not Owen, it's Preston. :-)
You are the minority! Hw sucks !
Or Brent Black will park your car for not getting enough "stats".
Best 6pm new i have seen in a long time.
He is a space cadet.
Dan scares the hell out of me to. How can someone be so bad at there job and still be employed.
Everyone STOP! He is innocent until proven guilty!!!!!
Does WBOC stand for Bring Own Coolers? Why are there so many losers working at this station? Dan Satterfield doesn't scare me it's that new guy Karli who looks angry all the time.
I was totally thinking the same thing! He was really feeling that beard lol! Didn't they even have a shave it /keep it poll? I'm a recovering alcoholic so I know all about drunken mistakes. I wish him well.
