Man takes deal for six years in jail

Federal prosecutors have worked out a plea deal with a man who robbed two juveniles at gunpoint in Ocean City last summer.

Montray D. Gross, 32, of Grasonville, Maryland, pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm with a felony conviction in U.S. District Court last week. Gross was arrested by Ocean City Police in July 2016, after two juveniles reported they had been robbed while walking through the Tidelands Caribbean parking garage on Washington Street.

The two juveniles asked people on the Boardwalk, including Gross, where they could buy milk, according to the Ocean City police report. Gross told them to cut through the parking lot as a shortcut.

When the pair were in the parking garage, Gross came up to them, reached behind his back, said “give me your money, I got a gun here.”

Ocean City police reports said Gross took $285, a gold chain, a leather corded necklace with a cross and a belt with a Chevrolet Corvette belt buckle, valued at $50, before he fled.

City By The Sea is becoming a regular hall of justice. Be careful out there.

Wicomico DA I hope you've paid close attention to how the Worcester County DA's office handled this case. They let the feds come in and take over. The perp wasn't allowed to plead away the gun charge. Now this thug will serve time in a federal jail were real criminals belong.

312 weeks in jail divided by $285.... that's a really bad return on investment.
How about giving him time off if he goes to area schools and explain how stupid he was.

6 years is a slap in the face to the victims robbed at gunpoint.

Never trust anybody that looks like that, and avoid any conversation or contact with them. They are just what they look like.
