Overview

[edit]

The Frederick County Sheriff's Office (FCSO) is organized into two different bureaus, the Law Enforcement Bureau and the Corrections Bureau, which consists of divisions, sections, and services.

History

[edit]

In December 2013, Deputy First Class Todd Joia was charged with entry without breaking in nearby Berkeley County, West Virginia. The case is related to the theft of more than two thousand dollars from a pair of gambling machines. The deputy was suspended when his arrest was made known to his department.[2] In February 2014, he resigned from the office, was sentenced to a year on probation and restitution.[3] During the same week, Deputy First Class Kevin Darnell White was suspended when he was arrested for an off-duty drunken assault in nearby Hagerstown, Maryland. He was also suspended and later acquitted of all charges.[4]

On 12 January 2013, three Frederick County Sheriff's Office (FCSO) Deputies were out of uniform while working after hours as security guards. They were called to a movie theater where a man with Down syndrome refused to leave the cinema after the movie was over. The three, Lieutenant Scott Jewell, Sergeant Rich Rochford, and Deputy First Class James Harris, confronted Ethan Saylor and his caregiver. In the confrontation the three men fell on the 26-year-old Saylor and handcuffed him. He then died of asphyxiation. A grand jury did not return any charges in the case. As of July 25, 2013 the federal Department of Justice was investigating Saylor's death as a civil rights case.[5][6][7][8][9][10]

At one o'clock in the morning on 10 January 2013, deputies dressed in military gear tried to conduct a no-knock arrest warrant on nineteen-year-old Daniel Vail. Vail was wanted in a nearby county for a home invasion. The deputies threw a stun grenade into Vail's bedroom to disorient him. Unnamed deputies said the naked man had a shotgun in his hands. After the deputies ordered him to drop the weapon, they fired eighteen bullets, killing Vail. An internal investigation by the Frederick County Sheriff's Office cleared the deputies of any wrongdoing.[11]

Deputy Sam Bowman was indicted in 2011 on several charges of having sexually abused a 14-year-old girl. He was assigned as a school resource officer at Walkersville High School.[12]

Sergeant Theodore Randolph "Randy" Dorsey was indicted on arson charges in November, 2006 related to destroying his vehicle as part of an insurance scam.[13]
