Drive in window at the
Sugar Shack for local lawmen
Lazy deputies tie up to feeding station without getting out of their
"Gator". No wonder the St. Mary's Sheriff's Dept. appears to be
populated by out of shape law officers.
Why weren't deputies assisting people in crossing Rt. 5 from the school
parking lots instead cruising the fairgrounds in this Gator like the
deputies from the Dukes of Hazard?

Zylak Broke Law
When Using Sheriff's Dept. Equipment for Campaign
Sheriff Dave blew it when he sent
out an announcement to the media this week, using
Sheriff's Dept. computers and email to tout his time in
office and to ask for votes. Any use of public
property assigned to the Sheriff's Department for
personal or political use is illegal under Maryland law.
This first step in his campaign for another term is yet
another stumble, much like his first step when taking
office when he immediately asked the St. Mary's
Commissioners for a major and five captains.
Between asking for an expanding budget, raises for his
wife and yet failing to take any action to curb violence
at the area's hell-hole bars or traffic gridlock, Zylak
once again has made a blunder. Zylak and his wife
have roamed the halls of the sheriff's headquarters
cornering deputies to seek their support for another
term in office. See details in print edition this
weekend.

McKay Casts Only Vote Against
Spending State Surplus on Education
At a meeting of the Maryland Association
of Counties last week, St. Mary's
Commissioner Tommy McKay, representing the Board of
Commissioners, voted against a MACO resolution which urged the
Governor to spend most of a billion-dollar surplus on education.
The vote was 23-1. McKay ignored a prior vote of the St. Mary's
Board on the issue which supported the move by MACO and
contravened the will of his board to advance his own view.

Armed Robbery Suspect
After a two-week search for a man wanted in
Charles County for an armed street robbery, St. Mary's Sheriff's
deputies were led on a chase back and forth across Great Mills Road.
The suspect, shown above being frisked for weapons by Deputy Charles
Earle, ran from officers who spotted him near a home on Essex Drive in
Patuxent Park. The man darted down towards the car wash and then
across Great Mills Road, back behind the A & E Motel and then in the
woods behind the Burger King, Deputy Mark Smith put an end to the
fleet-footed escape. Shown at left is Deputy Corcoran while
Cpl. Katherine Dassing is at right. Charles County Sheriff Fred
Davis told ST. MARY'S TODAY that the capture was welcome as armed street
robberies are a serious crime, just as much as robbery of a store.
