Prosecutors Face ‘Challenges’ Without Arresting Officers

OCEAN CITY — More than two months after the tragic June 30 plane crash claimed the lives of two off-duty Ocean City Police officers, many of the cases in which the victims were the arresting officers are now starting to hit the court system, creating some challenges for prosecutors, but a greater challenge for the State’s Attorney’s Office is the large number of arrests made throughout the summer by seasonal officers that will come to trial in the coming weeks and months.

On Sunday, June 30, a small Nanchang CJ-6A plane piloted by OCPD Officer Tom Geoghegan with Pfc. Joshua Adickes on board tragically crashed into the ocean just off the beach at 130th Street, claiming the lives of the two officers. Two months later, many of the cases in which the two late officers were the primary arresting officers are starting to hit the court system, creating some challenges for the State’s Attorney’s Office and its team of prosecutors.

I would call The Salisbury Police Department and ask them what they have done in the past. They have gained and lost an army of people in 10 years and I'm sure those cases had some sort of court disposition. Call Wic. States Attny. see what they have done, but please let us (the public) know what they say. I am sure we would be interested in hearing about ALL those cases that were thrown out due to poor administration and leadership at The Salisbury Police Departemnt and Salisbury City.
