Who writes these press releases? They use words no one uses, trying to impress?, then misspell simple words.

You should see the words in a statement to a commissioner, written by high school drop out junkies. For instance. .. one said a man threatened to burn the dwelling to wit ,everything on the structure and every individual in it . So... an uneducated man told an equally uneducated woman those exact words which perfectly fit the narrative of charging docs. Almost word for word. Words dwelling. And phrase such as to wit.... obviously coached by either a cop or the commisioner. Frieking highly unethical, illegal,and a common occurrence in this county. To many people are arrested for no reason other than someone with a vocabulary wants them gone.

There used to be an on-call commissioner in Somerset County, MD who personally recommended attorneys to the defendants that she was seeing. She's no longer holding that position.
