Maryland State Police, Allied Agencies Target Criminal Activity, Drug Use In Eastern Shore Counties

 
(WICOMICO COUNTY, MD) – Maryland State Police, along with allied local and federal law enforcement agencies, partnered on Friday to target criminal activity and criminal organizations operating within Wicomico and Dorchester counties.

The initiative came under the Maryland Criminal Intelligence Network (MCIN), a criminal justice strategy, coordinated at the local, state, and federal levels targeting gangs, drugs, firearms and human trafficking. MCIN is particularly focused on those criminal networks that are impacting multiple jurisdictions and accomplishes this by sharing information across borders.

In Wicomico County, enforcement efforts were based on intelligence relating to illegal drug use and sales, firearm violations and crimes of violence. In Dorchester County, the gathering of information included identifying criminal gang members and suspects of open criminal investigations and fugitive apprehension/warrant services.


Information obtained during the Dorchester County operation led to intelligence regarding a case previously investigated by the Dorchester County Narcotics Task Force. This information was used to serve a search and seizure warrant on a targeted residence and as a direct result led to the seizure of a handgun, cocaine, fentanyl, heroin and marijuana and the arrest of a suspect. The suspect, identified as Tayron Rynell Daniel Mims, 32, of Cambridge, Maryland is charged with felony drug possession and distribution charges. He was taken to the Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office for processing.

Working in tandem with members of the Eastern Region Gang and Gun Units of the Maryland State Police, the following partners participated in the MCIN Eastern Shore initiative in Wicomico County: Maryland State Police Salisbury Barrack, Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office, Salisbury Police Department, Delmar Police Department, and Homeland Security Investigations. In Wicomico County, the allied agencies included the Maryland State Police Easton Barrack, Cambridge
Police Department, Hurlock Police Department and Homeland Security Investigations.

The operations in both counties were made possible, in part, due to funds provided by the Governor’s Office of Crime Control and Prevention, which funds the Maryland Criminal Intelligence Network (MCIN). In total, the two operations yielded the following results in each county:

Wicomico County:

● Traffic Stops: 32
● Traffic Warnings: 30
● Traffic Citations: 10
● Warrants Served: 2
● K-9 Scans: 5
● K-9 Tracks: 1
● Vehicle Searches: 19

Dorchester County:

● Traffic Stops: 136
● Traffic Warnings: 103
● Traffic Citations: 76
● Repair Orders: 13
● DUI: 4
● On View Arrest: 1

● Warrants Served: 6
● K-9 Scans: 6

Dorchester County Narcotics Task Force Search Warrant:

● 573.1 grams of marijuana
● 27.4 grams of powdered cocaine
● 25.8 grams of fentanyl/heroin

During the operational, the areas where enforcement was focused within both counties, there was a significant reduction in calls for service for crimes relating to Part I crimes. Additionally, it should be noted any person contacted during this operation who requested resources and support regarding a substance abuse issue was provided with local resources for addictions.

  5. We have too many laws protecting people. Nature can't thin the herd any longer. That's why we continue to have more and more stupid people in the world.

    Legalize ALL drugs, remove all warning labels, any and all protection except for children.

    In a few years, a lot of stupid people will be gone. Hopefully replaced with honest, polite, caring people.

    The opposite of what we have now in most cases.

  6. 7:10 Warning labels are not saving consumers, that's not what they're for. Manufacturers are forced to provide warnings on everything nowadays because of greedy lawyers.
