WCSO Press Release - Aug. 9, 2019 - Large Qty Heroin Arrests

Incident: Possession of Large Amount of Heroin
Date of Incident: August 9, 2019
Location: 1600 Block of Mount Hermon Road, Salisbury, Wicomico County, MD


Smith and Woods
Suspects: Lamont Marvin Smith, 52 years old, Salisbury, MD
Dwight Leroy Woods, 35 years old, Salisbury, MD
Narrative: During the last several months, the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office Community Action Team working in conjunction with the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division and the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office’s Criminal Enforcement Team, conducted an investigation into the illegal sales of narcotics from a home in the 1600 block of Mount Hermon Road, Salisbury, MD.


In the past week alone, Wicomico County has experienced the losses of at least three residents to opioid-related fatal overdoses. Several others have overdosed and been successfully revived with Naloxone, a life-saving narcotic designed to reverse the effects of opioids.


On August 9th, 2019, the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Response Team (SERT) executed a search and seizure warrant at the residence. Members of the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office Community Action Team and the Criminal Investigation Division, conducted a search of the residence. Lamont Marvin Smith and Dwight Leroy Woods were located inside of the residence. A search of the residence in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Search and Seizure Warrant revealed the following items:


  • 141 grams of heroin
  • 96 individual bags of heroin
  • 20.93 grams of crack cocaine packaged in 85 individual bags
  • 1.03 grams of cocaine
  • Digital scales
  • $8,194 in U.S. Currency
  • Seventeen rounds of .40 caliber handgun ammunition
  • Twelve Alprazolam Schedule 4 Pills
  • Other items of evidentiary value
All of the items were seized. As a result, Smith and Woods of Salisbury were arrested and released to WCDC. Additional arrests are pending as the investigation continues.
The primary mission of the Community Action Team (CAT) is to assist the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division (CID). The Community Action Team is also tasked with handling nuisance issues within Wicomico County, which includes the investigation of street-level sales and possession of controlled dangerous substances. The result of this investigation is a great example of two community crime reduction teams working in cohesion to make the neighborhoods of Wicomico County safe.
Smith and Woods were both charged with the following:
Charges:

Honestly I don’t want them talking on cell phones when driving. This case should be let go and give the drugs back. War is over on drugs. Vote democrat in 2020.

Not to be mean...but Woods looks like he has an IQ of maybe 50...now lets see how the Maryland Justice Reinvestment Act will let these guys off with a low bond (considering the circumstances-in the past they would be held without bond) a light sentence and paroling out in no time. The "JRA" as it is abbreviated, has probably contributed to more deaths by overdose than these drug dealers.

At least negligent homicide.

What? Three fatal overdoses? I believe that is a mass killing by black men. Couldn't be.

Northwest Woodsman: Why, after looking at the associated photos, am I not surprised? There before me are two outstanding democrat businessmen who have unfairly been profiled because they are black. I’m sure that when asked about the alleged crimes, they both stated: “ I dindu nuffin”

I don't think their IQ would even register on the meter. The needle would not move.
