Wicomico County Gang Member Arrested On Gun Charges

(WILLARDS, MD) – Maryland State Police have arrested a criminal gang member who is believed to have been involved in trafficking guns on the Eastern Shore.

The accused is identified as Dana A. Lank II, 38, of Willards, Md. He is currently charged with the illegal possession/sale of an assault weapon, being a prohibited person in possession of a rifle/shotgun, and illegal possession of ammunition. Additional charges are possible. Following his arrest, Lank was held without bond in the Wicomico County Detention Center.

Earlier this month, members of the Maryland State Police Gang Enforcement Unit and the Maryland State Apprehension Team began an investigation after information was developed concerning Lank’s possible involvement with the illegal sale of firearms. The State Police investigation indicated Lank was involved in converting semi-automatic rifles to fully-automatic and illegally selling regulated assault rifles. Investigators determined Lank was involved in a pending illegal sale of an undocumented SKS assault rifle. He was also identified as a member of the Dead Man Incorporated criminal gang.

On February 9, 2018, members of the State Police Gang Enforcement Unit and State Apprehension Team, assisted by the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Unit and the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office K-9, stopped Lank for a traffic violation in Wicomico County. A rifle was recovered from his vehicle, which was identified an SKS assault rifle. Lank was arrested and taken to the Salisbury Barrack for processing.

Investigators served two subsequent search warrants, including one at Lank’s residence and another at a residence connected to Lank in Berlin. Investigators recovered a modified, fully-automatic Heckler & Koch assault rifle, a sawed off shotgun, a .357 magnum revolver, a Grendle assault rifle with no serial number, various rifle and shotgun parts and five ammunition cans filled with rifle and shotgun rounds.

Investigators received significant support from the State Police Maryland Gun Center, where investigators ran multiple inquiries on specific firearms and individuals connected with the investigation. The Maryland Gun Center also provided detailed information about the proper criminal charges to place against Lank.

Reading this I see as usual, no federal gun charges so this means no mandatory prison time on the gun charges. Which means, in the plea deal the gun charges will be tossed out as always.

Sorry but if you have a neck tattoo you realize you will eventually end up in jail. Secondly if you have a neck tattoo you shouldn’t be allowed to own a gun and because something is wrong with you to begin with.

Maryland has mandatory sentencing if they choose to file. I believe it's 15 years plus his vop and back up time.

Trump supporters I think not, usually they are law abiding citizens. The criminals are the libtards, see their leaders like Killary, Bill, Soro's etc.

Wow gang unit finally got a gang member

Anonymous said...

#1 That gang is about as influential, active and ancient as gramndma's rocking chair warriors gang. The gang was created by a few bored inmates, as well as the neck tats.
#2 A weapon is not an assault weapon until it has been used in an assault, there are tens of millions of assault hammers within arms length
#3 ALL of the weapons in this picture can legally be obtained and owned by paying the government $200. {tax stamp}
#4 the only legit charge here is by "a prohibited person" which in all fairness this idiot hasnt kept up will all the scary gun laws.

#5 The most offensive of all of this is the fact that a trusted government entity would stretch the truth/lie to promote their own existence for fame and fortune, more vile and disrespectful than the worst fake news communist progressives. This act promoted more fear and unrest on citizens than ALL of the neck tattoo's in the county.

@6:30 You have no clue about what you are talking. DMI is the largest gang in Maryland prisons and has begun to spread out West.

Dead Man Inc. or DMI is a predominantly white prison gang with branches in many correctional facilities throughout the U.S.
Due to its increasing power within the Maryland Correctional System, DMI leaders were transferred to facilities in other states including Louisiana, Texas, and Florida. This has facilitated the spread of the gang. It has also been reported that DMI has been moving its operations into the streets of Baltimore. There are currently six main units in Baltimore City, one in Carroll County, and one in Howard County.

There was much upheaval and internal strife within the organization itself. The once tight-knit structure of the group has broken down with the explosion in numbers, as members compete with one another leading to violence between members. Fueling these internal divisions is the fact that leaders disagreed about the direction of the gang. Perry Roark wanted to return the gang to its former position alongside the BGF, while other leaders want to adopt a white supremacist ideology.

A federal grand jury in Baltimore charged 22 defendants with conspiracy to participate in a violent racketeering enterprise. All but one defendant are also charged with conspiring to distribute drugs. The indictment was returned on October 6, 2011 and unsealed upon the arrests of seven defendants and the execution of seven search warrants. Eleven defendants were previously in custody and four defendants are still at large.
