Incident: Possession of Crack Cocaine with the Intent to Distribute
Date of Incident: 4 April 2019
Location: Bi-State Blvd. at Pine St., Delmar, MD
Suspect: Shawn D. Hugee, 43, Salisbury, MD
Narrative: On 4 April 2019 at 2:00 PM, a deputy attempted to stop a vehicle operated by Shawn Hugee after observing Hugee behind the wheel and being aware that Hugee’s privilege to drive a vehicle had been suspended and revoked by the State of Maryland. Instead of stopping, Hugee failed to stop, forcing the deputy to pursue Hugee through the town of Delmar, MD. During this pursuit, the deputy observed that Hugee was throwing items out the window that would later be discovered to be crack cocaine. The pursuit ended when Hugee drove across a ditch at the end of E. East Street and collided with a tree. Hugee attempted to continue his flight on foot but was quickly apprehended.
Based on the amount of crack cocaine located, it was determined it exceeded personal use and appeared destined for distribution.
The deputy transported Hugee to the Central Booking Unit where he was processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner. Following an initial appearance, the District Court Commissioner detained Hugee without bond pending a District Court bond review.

Suspect: Bobby J. Greffin, 25, Seaford, DE
Narrative: On 4 April 2019 at i3:16 PM, a deputy attempted to stop a vehicle operated by Bobby Greffin for a registration plate violation but Greffin instead took off from the deputy and refused to stop. The deputy pursued Greffin on a few streets before Greffin pulled into a driveway in the 700 block of Dennis Street.
The deputy approached Greffin and requested his drivers license. Greffin’s reply was that he did not have or need one, that he could drive “because he is grown.” The deputy attempted to interact with Greffin, but an agitated crown began closing around the deputy. Upon the arrival of additional deputies, the deputy ordered Greffin to exit his vehicle as he was under arrest. Greffin stepped from his car and told the deputy that he could not be arrested. As the deputy decided to take him into custody anyway, Greffin pulled away telling the deputy to get off him. The deputy had to wrestle Greffin into the handcuffs.
Greffin was transported to the Central Booking Unit where he was processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner. Following an initial appearance, the Commissioner detained Greffin in the Detention Center in lieu of $5,000.00 bond.
