Barrack Information:
|
A series of residential burglaries, another of business burglaries, and a third of
daytime burglaries were all resolved with the arrests of different suspects. In April, a
subject reported missing three months earlier was located in his vehicle at the bottom of
a creek. He was intoxicated at the time of the accident. Troopers made 305 DUI arrests
over the year. During June and July, using underage Cadets, 28 businesses were
charged with selling alcohol to minors. The search of a vehicle stopped for traffic
violations in August revealed almost 3.5 pounds of marijuana. This was one of 255 CDS
arrests made.
The Spring Hot Rod Show and the Delmarva Bike week in September attracted
several hundred thousand spectators and participants, and created significant traffic
safety and enforcement concerns. Once again, the combined efforts of the Department
and local law enforcement ensured safe and successful events, with no major criminal
or traffic incidents. On five weekends in the summer, troopers teamed with the Ocean
City Police Department in Operation Pedestrian, to reduce the number of collisions
involving pedestrians; there were 766 citations or warnings issued, 14 arrests, and no
fatalities. For the whole year, there were 12,041 citations and 13,719 warnings written.
