The Ocean City Police Department Narcotics Unit and the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team recently executed a search warrant in Bishopville, MD that led detectives to discover a significant marijuana distribution operation.
Earlier this year, detectives began an investigation into a Socrates G. Pikounis, 52, of Bishopville, for suspected heroin distribution in the resort after receiving a tip from a citizen. The investigation led detectives to discover that the suspect’s wife, Brenda L. Pikounis, 54, of Bishopville, was also distributing large amounts of marijuana out of their home.
In August, detectives conducted multiple search warrants at various locations and located over 200 baggies of heroin, over $56,000 in U.S. Currency, over 90 jars of marijuana, thousands of manufactured marijuana products (edibles, cannabis oil, wax, etc.), a handgun, gold coins and silver bars worth thousands of dollars, and several other items used in the sale of illegal substances. Four vehicles were also seized.
On September 25, a Worcester County Grand Jury indicted Socrates and Brenda Pikounis on numerous drug-related charges and issued warrants for their arrest. Socrates Pikounis has been charged with fourteen drug-related charges and two counts of child endangerment. Brenda Pikounis has been charged with ten drug-related charges and two counts of child endangerment.

Wondering if he was using private plane for trafficking?
And that is relevant why?
wow they might sell dope but they do not pay their bills!
He's a fllght instructor & aircraft owner as well as a scum of the earth dope dealer! That's how it's relevant George!
LOL Today is the scum drug dealer's birthday.
Happy Birthday Useless piece of garbage. May he spend many of his up and coming days locked behind bars where trash like him belong. He deserves to rot in prison for selling the poison.
Judiciary has the forfeiture proceedings listed for a few cars, some money and some gold and silver. Wonder if the SA's office knows about the planes.
Probably using the occupation as flight instructor to launder the money. Had 1 or 2 students but made bank deposits like he had many more.
How does one go about turning in someone at the beach that is powerful, recognizable, and is known by everyone as a user and possible dealer without ending up in a major jam or worse?

All depends on who and how connected the accused is? 7:43 pm you could post it here and it's anonymous!
