MARYLAND STATE POLICE BEAT:

While Shoppers Rage In Malls, Drivers Rage On Roads; Child Killed As His DWI Drug Dealer Dad Kenneth Chatmon Was In A Speed Contest And Crashed

SALISBURY, MD. –
Shoppers were going nuts for bargains as Thanksgiving revved up to warp speed and a Salisbury child was killed after his boozing father lost control of his pickup and slammed into a tree at a high rate of speed, according to Maryland State Police.

Police report that Kenneth Chatmon, 55, of 212 Morris Drive in Salisbury was operating a 2007 Toyota pickup southbound on the Rt. 213 Bypass north of Snow Hill Road.

Kenneth Chatmon was taken by ambulance to a hospital for treatment and faces charges in connection with the death of the child, as police say speed, alcohol and drug use are all factors in the crash. Possible charges include felony manslaughter which could net Chatmon if convicted up to ten years in prison.

10 years is not nearly enough time for this animal. Life would be more appropriate.

It's said that people think like this.. Kaleb was loved by his mother and Father. He didn't see a lot of bad. This was a misfortune and a young child lost his life and all yall can do is speak negative. At the end all you are suppose to do is pray. You are not his judge... Lil man RIP and until we meet again.
