Reading this got me lost the Article is all over the place.
Deputy Strong arrested and transported the prisoner to the detention center. Did Deputy Strong forget to search the prisoner before placing them in the car with a switchblade! I sure hope Deputy Strong gets a reprimand for failing to properly search the prisoner. He endangered his own life as well as others by not doing his job correctly. Calvert Sheriffs are not looking very good these days!
” Possession of Contraband in a Place of Confinement.” Again, a deputy fails to find this prior to transporting the prisoner to the detention center. It sounds to me like the Calvert Sheriffs deputies need to take a remedial course in how to properly search a prisoner.
