Today, a Salisbury man pled guilty to robbing a local convenience store.
Assistant State’s Attorney Paul Montemuro says on June 30, 2008, 34-year-old Billy Sorrow and a co-defendant walked into the Royal Farms Store on South Division Street in Salisbury, with stockings on their faces. Sorrow then held his hand under his shirt as if he had a gun and ordered the store clerks to “get down.” Montemuro says Sorrow and his accomplice then removed two cash drawers from the store and fled.
Today, Sorrow pled guilty to robbery and Wicomico County Circuit Court Judge Donald Davis sentenced Sorrow to 15 years in the Division of Correction, suspend all but 8 years. Upon release Sorrow will have 18 months of supervised probation. This is not the first criminal conviction for Sorrow.
The State’s Attorney’s Office would like to thank the Salisbury Police Department, especially Officer Eric Baker and Sergeant Hazel Beauchamp for their tremendous police work in this case.

Joe: the correct form is pleaded, not pled. Just a friendly FYI.
