I wanted to share that another Heroin dealer was convicted today after a jury trial in the Wicomico County Circuit Court. We will issue a press release in the morning. Tonight, however, I wanted to thank the Wicomico County Narcotics Task Force, Gang Enforcement Unit and DEA for their incredible effort. (Today's defendant was convicted of crimes including: Possession with Intent To Distribute Heroin (some laced with Fentanyl x 2), Trafficking, and Possession-Heroin Large Amount). Convicting dealers is one facet of the County's strategy that includes intervention and prevention. There were 21 reported overdoses on the Eastern Shore in September--9 were reported in Wicomico County (2 of the 9 were fatal).
