Maryland State Police Sergeant Charged with Misconduct in Office

Acting State Prosecutor Kelly B. Madigan announced that the Wicomico County Grand Jury has returned an indictment charging Michael McComas, a sergeant with the Maryland State Police, with misconduct in office for notifying a civilian employee of the Maryland State Police of a pending search and seizure warrant being executed by the Maryland State Police on the employee’s residence.

The charges allege that McComas notified a subordinate employee that they were the target of a search and seizure warrant, which allowed the subordinate employee the opportunity to remove items from their personal residence prior to the execution of the lawful search and seizure warrant.

“It is imperative that law enforcement officers, who take an oath to uphold the law, are held accountable when they violate the law, especially when it relates to disclosing confidential information to the target of an investigation,” said Kelly B. Madigan, Acting State Prosecutor.

This matter was investigated by the Office of the State Prosecutor and the Maryland State Police Criminal Enforcement Division.

Although charged, the Defendant is presumed innocent unless and until there is a conviction.

I typically support police officers, esp. MSP Troopers, but this clown F'd UP! Not only did he break the law, but he F'd up his damn career! I hope he doesn't get his retirement either and he should be placed in jail.

I am also curious about the relationship with the civilian employee? What is going on there. How did he know about the search warrant? How did this tip get discovered?

What was the warrant for is what I want to know.

If the public only knew of the illegal conduct of SPD and MSP and WCSO in the disposition of the duties of office or under the auspices of the same

Shouldn’t he be found guilty first ? Your a supporter of LE but not the constitution? I’m confused.

Misconduct in office???

Whaaat??

That's obstruction of justice, interfering, and conspiracy.

"We, the people" would already be posting a ludicrous bond and hoping for leniency.

Two Sets of Laws. Right in your face and they don't care what you think about it.

The stuff of revolutions throughout history. Including the American Revolution. The FIRST one.

Keep cheering.

The DOJ said Lynch claimed on an affidavit that the victim had committed strangulation and two counts offensive touching of a law enforcement officer--claims contradicted by witness statements who told authorities the victim had attempted to protect his face but had not put his hands around Lynch's throat, as Lynch had claimed.

Witnesses = read EMT's snitched

Yes, I've noticed that too. It's all about the flashing lights, badges, parade uniforms, and "fire police" tags on their personal vehicles.

7:25 I think there is way more to that story. Who knows what they would find. Mike has never been one to obey the law just enforce it. He used to shoot cats along the bypass I never really understood it I guess he was bored. His buddy Krah did the same thing. I think it was animal cruelty takes a special kind of A-hole to shoot cats and dogs. This falls right in line with his shooting of an unarmed man. He is a real piece of work.

If you recall, that unarmed animal was trying to run over him

Yeah and most of them farmin are dumb as a clam, especially in Salisbury. They are barely smart enough to pass the basic EMT class and too dumb to pass the Paramedic class but they want to control the EMT's and Paramedics.

Firemen can't do a Paramedics job but a Paramedic can do a firemen's job. Isn't that funny!
