April 28, 2011 (SALISBURY, MD) –  Maryland State Police are investigating a police involved shooting that occurred late this afternoon in Wicomico County when a member of a fugitive task force shot the tire of a vehicle containing a wanted fugitive that was attempting to flee while another police officer was partially in the  car.

A passenger in the car, who was the subject of the police search, was also arrested.  He is identified as Clarence Cornish, 32, of the 100  block of Willis Street, Cambridge, Md.  He is charged on a Kent County Grand Jury indictment with 16 criminal charges including armed robbery, burglary, assault, and use of a handgun in the commission of a felony.  These charges stem from a home invasion that occurred on March 31, 2011 in Kent County.  Cornish is being taken to Kent County where he will be held without bond. 

This afternoon, members of the Maryland State Apprehension Team/Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force were in the Salisbury area searching for Cornish.  The fugitive team included Deputy Gregory Simpler from the Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office and Officer Kevin Larkin of the Salisbury Police Department. 

 Shortly before 4:00 p.m. today, members of the fugitive task force spotted Cornish riding in a car northbound on Rt. 13 near Salisbury.  Task force members attempted to stop the vehicle at the red light on Rt. 13 at Connelly Mill Road.  As they approached the car, Officer Larkin opened the passenger door and ordered Cornish out.  Cornish did not comply and the officer reached in the car, attempting to remove him.  As he did, the driver, Brown, pulled off with Officer Larkin partially in and out of the vehicle. 

In fear for the life of Officer Larkin, Deputy Simpler fired one shot from his department-issued .40 caliber pistol at the rear driver’s side tire in an attempt to deflate the tire and disable the vehicle.  The car continued about 70 yards until it stopped.  Officer Larkin was able to disengage himself from the moving car without injury.

When the vehicle stopped, the fugitive team approached the car again and arrested Cornish and Brown without further incident.  A third person in the back seat of the car was not arrested. 

No one on the scene was injured in the incident.  As is procedure, the police involved shooting is being investigated by the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit.  

Deputy Simpler is an eight-year veteran of the Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office.  He has been placed on routine administrative leave by his department while the investigation continues.

Maryland criminal law section 3-402 makes it a crime to commit robbery and section 3-403 defines robbery with a dangerous weapon.  A person who commits robbery in Maryland is guilty of a felony and on conviction is subject to imprisonment not exceeding 15 years. A person the commits are robbery with a dangerous weapon or by displaying a written instrument claiming that the person is possession of a dangerous weapon is a felony and upon conviction is subject to imprisonment not exceeding 20 years.

There are three different standards on which a person can be convicted of robbery the state of Maryland. Those three standards are: taking and carrying away; obtaining and depriving; and obtaining services.

For a person to be convicted of robbery under the taking and carrying away standard a person must be found beyond a reasonable doubt that they took and carried away property from someone else or someone else's presence and control by force or threat of force with the intent to deprive the victim of the property. For a jury or judge to convict a person of robbery the state must prove that the defendant took the property from the victim; that the defendant took the property by force or threat of force; and that the defendant intended to deprive the victim of the property. For the judge or jury to find the defendant guilty they must determine that the property was something of value.

For the State to convict the defendant under the standard of obtaining and depriving they must prove that the defendant obtained the property from someone else by force or threat of force with the intent to deprive the victim of the property. The state must prove that the defendant took the property from the victim; the defendant took the property by force or threat of force; and the defendant intended to deprive the victim of the property. Again property means something of value must of been taken.

For the State to prove robbery under obtaining services they must prove that the defendant attained the service of another by force or threat of force. They must prove that defendant obtain the services of the victim; and that the defendant obtain the service by force or threat of force.

For defendant charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon the state must prove the defendant committed a robbery beyond a reasonable doubt and also prove the defendant committed the robbery by using a dangerous weapon. A dangerous weapon can be defined as an object that is capable of causing death or serious bodily harm.  This can include a knife or gun.

What Happens in Maryland When You Are Arrested for a Crime?

Q: What happens in Maryland when you are arrested for crime?

After you are arrested you will be taken to either the local precinct or state police barracks.  Once at the barracks or the police precinct the police officer(s) conduct the booking process.  The booking process entails you providing basic information about yourself, your fingerprints, and photograph (this may also include photographs of any tattoos).  In addition, the police may decide to ask you questions regarding the alleged crime.  You don't have to answer any questions, you have the right to request the presence of an criminal attorney and questioning should cease. If they do decide to ask you questions, the police are required to read you your Miranda rights or Miranda warning.

Maryland Criminal Lawyers
410-288-2900

Although the U.S. Supreme Court did not provide standard language for the Miranda warning, it did provide guidelines for what police should inform an individual.  The Court said, "...The person in custody must, prior to interrogation, be clearly informed that he or she has the right to remain silent, and that anything the person says will be used against that person in court; the person must be clearly informed that he or she has the right to consult with an attorney and to have that attorney present during questioning, and that, if he or she is indigent, an attorney will be provided at no cost to represent her or him."


Once the booking procedures are completed you'll be taken before a Maryland District Court Commissioner to determine if probable cause exists to charge you.


The District Court Commissioner will also advise you of a number of rights and advisements, those rights and advisements include:
1) that you understand the charges that are filed against you;
2) that you understand the maximum penalties and fines for those charges;
3) advising of your right to an attorney and that you must obtain an criminal attorney on your own;
4) whether you will be detained or released pending trial; and
5) if you are going to be released at that time the commissioner will set the initial bail.


If the Commissioner has denied bail then you'll be transported to the local detention center to await the next step of the criminal prosecution. If the commissioner has denied bail, there are a number of legal procedures our office can perform to request a new bail for a defendant.  If you haven't done so already, you should contact a Maryland criminal lawyer as soon as possible. If you are going to be detained in a local attention center pending trial, contacting family or friend and have them make contact with a criminal defense attorney in Maryland.  You can contact our office at 410.288.2900 as soon as you're arrested for legal advice.  


If a bail has been set by the Commissioner, and you believe the bail is reasonable then you have a number of options to be released.

Bail Lawyer Maryland

Q:  How can I post bail in a Maryland criminal case?


Bail can be posted in five different ways in Maryland, you can post bail by using a professional bail bonds company, credit and debit cards, intangible assets, property bail, or cash bail.


If you decide to use a professional bail bondsman the bail bonds will charge a nonrefundable fee to post bail. Typically in Maryland, most bail bondsman charged 10% of the bail amount. However some of the better bail bonds companies will charge a 1% fee to be released immediately and allow you to pay the other 9% back over time. In addition to the nonrefundable fee a bond company may require collateral security or properties to secure the release. That collateral will be returned to the person who posted the bond at the dispositional charges. If you are in need of a bail bondsman contact Got Bail at 410-574-3939.


Bail may also be charged on a credit card or debit card and the details of using a credit and debit card to post bail may be obtained from the District Court Commissioner or clerk's office. The clerk of the court may also accept intangible assets including bank books and certificates of deposit (CD), letters of credit from a bank, or certificates for stock listed on the American or New York Stock Exchange.


Property bail may also be used for the release of an individual. Property includes land our home in Maryland and the net equity of the property must meet or exceed the total about the bail. The clerk of court will be able assist in valuing the lander home for the purposes of posting bail.


Bails that are set at $2500 or less may be posted with the cash deposit of 10%. The post the person posting the cash bail is liable for the full amount if the defendant does appear for trial.  If the discharges are disposed of before trial trial the amount posted will be refunded.  If the defendant does not appear for trial all the cash was post will be forfeited to the clerk of court and the full amount of bail becomes due that case


If you've been charged with a motor vehicle violation, misdemeanor or certain felonies your case be heard in the District Court of Maryland. If you've been charged with a serious felony in your case would be heard in the Circuit Court.


If your case is going to be heard in the District Court of Maryland, the court date will be set for you depending on the volume of cases in that District Court. Typically cases are set anywhere from one month to four months after the arrest. Because the cases could be set so soon, is important to hire a criminal defense attorney as soon as you are charged. This allowed the attorney time to prepare the case, complete legal research, and negotiate with the State's Attorney's Office.


If your cases will be heard in the Circuit Court of Maryland then you have a number of options after you been arrested. If you're charged with a felony you have the right to request a preliminary hearing. The request must be in writing and must be submitted to the clerk of court within 10 days of your first appearance before the commissioner. When you appear for a bail review hearing you will be asked if you would like to request a preliminary hearing. You should always request the preliminary hearing. The purposes of the preliminary hearing is for a Judge to determine if there is probable cause to proceed with the charges you are facing.


Preliminary hearings are not an opportunity for the defendant to testify or offer evidence. Is merely a chance for the State's Attorney to question the witnesses and the court to determine if there is probable cause to proceed.


If the court finds no probable cause charges may be dismissed, however the State's Attorney may refile charges later. If you are charged with a felony or crime that may be tried in the Circuit Court it is possible that the State's Attorney's office could take your case before a grand jury to be indicted. A grand jury is a hearing is held in secret, where the defendant is not present, and the state will request the witnesses to testify before the grand jury to determine if probable cause exists proceed with the case.


If you waive a preliminary hearing, or it is held in the court finds there's sufficient probable cause, the state's Attorney must file within 30 days a charging document with the Court. The state also has the option of entering a nolle prosequi or stet or amend the charges so that the District District Court retains jurisdiction in the case and it can be tried in the District Court.


If you have been charged with felony in the Circuit Court, the next event is an arraignment. An arraignment date is set where you will appear before a Judge in the Circuit Court. The Judge will advise you of the charges, the maximum penalty for those charges, and your right to an attorney.


Q: Do I need a criminal lawyer to represent me in a criminal matter in Maryland? 


Although you're not required to have a lawyer it would be foolish to proceed without one.  You wouldn't perform surgery without a surgeon, why got to Court without a criminal defense lawyer.


Once you have been arraigned, the next step of the process is to conduct a motions hearing and the trial. If you are facing charges in the Circuit Court, you have a right to a jury trial.  If your case is being heard in the District Court and you are facing a penalty of more than 90 days for one of the charges, you have a right to a jury trial.  Both the motions hearing and the trial are extremely complicated events and you should seek the advice of an experienced criminal law attorney to proceed.


Although this is not an exhaustive list of the procedures after you been arrested, it should provide some insight into what will happen if you are arrested in Maryland and charged with a criminal offense.

Bail or Bond in Maryland allows people who have been arrested in Maryland to remain out of jail while waiting for trial.  It can be paid by friends, relatives or the person accused of a crime in Maryland.

Many people who are not willing or able to come up with bail money on their own seek the services of bail bondsmen, who post (pay) bail for a fee. The bail bond fee in Maryland is typically about 10 percent of the total bail amount.  The bail fee can vary depending on the circumstances of the crime and the persona charged..  In Maryland, the best bail bondsmen require a minimum of 1% of the total bail to be paid up front and  The bail bonds company in Maryland will explain the process and assist you with the legal requirements. If you have a legal bail question, contact our office 24/7 at 410.288.2900 for help.

Bail is a right protected by the U.S. Constitution as well as the Maryland Constitution. It is a "surety bond" (usually in the form of cash) that the court holds to ensure that the person accused of a crime shows up for required court appearances.

Attorney G. Randolph Rice, Jr., LLC

Most people arrested in Maryland have the opportunity to "post bail."  Posting bail allows the accused to remain free until trial and any future hearings. After a person has been arrested and completed the booking process, the individual appears before a commissioner for a bail to be set.  In Baltimore County, the person arrested then appears before a judge in the Towson District Court to determine the amount of bail.  However, as soon as a bail is set by a commissioner, a person can "post bail" and be released.  That person does not have to wait for a bail review hearing to "make bail" in Maryland.

If the crime is relatively minor in Maryland, the person has no prior record, or if the District Court Judge believes that the accused is unlikely to flee, he may be released "on his own recognizance (ROR)." In this case, no bail is required in Maryland and the person must appear for trial.

If you are in need of a bail lawyer in Maryland, contact our office immediately at 410.288.2900.  The longer you wait, the longer the loved one will spend incarcerated pending their trial.  In Maryland District Court cases are set months after the arrest and Circuit Court could be up to six months before trial.

Call our office at 410.288.2900 for immediate bail review and habeas corpus help.

Cash Bail
A percentage may be posted for cash bonds. All bonds that are set at two thousand, five hundred dollars ($2,500.) or less may be posted with a cash deposit of ten percent (10%). However, the person posting cash bail is liable for the full amount.   If the bail is set above the $2500.00, then we would suggest you call a bail bondsman.  If you qualify, the bail companies that we use required a minimum of 1% down.   So if the Defendant has a $100,000.00 bail then you would only be required to put down $1,000.00 to have them released. If the Defendant appears for trial or the charges are disposed of before trial, the amount posted will be refunded. If the Defendant do not appear, all cash posted will be forfeited and the full amount of bail becomes due to the Court.

Property Bail
Property (e.g. land or home) in Maryland may be used to post bail, provided that the net equity in the property meets or exceeds the amount of bail.  To determine net equity deduct any liens, mortgages or deeds of trust, and ground rent, capitalized at 6 percent, from the assessed value of the property. 

When posting property, a Defendant, their family or friends need to present tax bills, assessment notices, copies of a recorded deed or other public records. Each person whose name appears on the tax bill must sign the form, unless a power of attorney has been executed by one or both parties authorizing another signature.

a.  Bankbooks and certificates of deposit accepted at 100 percent of stated value, 
b.  Letters of credit from a bank,
c. Certificates for stocks listed on the American or New York Stock Exchange, accepted at 75 percent of the present exchange quotation.

Only a clerk of the court may accept intangible assets; a commissioner may not. Present the required documents to a clerk at the court location where the case is pending.

Credit and Debit Cards
Bail may be charged on certain credit and debit cards.  Although a commissioner or clerk accepts the card, an independent company processes the charge.  The charge includes the amount of the bail and a service fee. These charges will appear on your next credit or debit card statement. The card and personal identification must be produced in person at the time of posting bail. (Contact a District Court commissioner or clerk for information on cards accepted and the fees charged.)
