Crash kills one

The driver, Timothy Gingrich, 18, of Greenbackville, Virginia was extricated and taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center. Gingrich was later transferred to University of Md. Shock Trauma in stable condition. As of Tuesday, his condition was listed as “fair.”
The passenger in the vehicle, Logan Moloy, 21, of Fruitland, Maryland was pronounced deceased on the scene, according to police. Moloy was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy.
Both alcohol and the vehicle’s speed were factors in the crash, police reported.

Pedestrian struck
Early Monday morning, state troopers responded to the intersection of Old Snow Hill Road and Carter Road for a vehicle collision involving a pedestrian.
According to police, Alphonso Ruffin, 35, of Pocomoke City, was operating a 2013 Gray Dodge Dart that allegedly struck pedestrian Curtis Broadwater Sr., 43, of Pocomoke City.
Broadwater, police said, was walking north along Old Snow Hill Road when he was struck. He was taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries following the crash.
The investigation is continuing.
Failure to appear
A Worcester County Sheriff’s Deputy was on patrol in the area of Dighton Avenue and Cypress Road in Snow Hill on Sept. 5 at approximately 6:47 p.m. when he encountered a man he recognized as Glenn Hamilton Harmon, 52.
According to the sheriff’s office, the deputy knew Harmon had two active warrants in circuit court for failure to appear, and had previously tried to elude police trying arrest him.
Police said Harmon saw the deputy and attempted to flee, but was caught and arrested. Harmon was taken to the Worcester County Detention Center and held without bond for both warrants. An additional criminal summons was issued charging Harmon with obstruction of justice, failure to obey a lawful order, and resisting arrest.
Suspect located
A wanted subject, Warner Rivers, 26, of Berlin was located hiding in a bedroom of a residence on Hayes Landing Road, although the residents told police he was not there.
On Sept. 4 at approximately 7:55 p.m., a Worcester County Sheriff’s Deputy went to the residence in an attempt to locate a person who had an active warrant in district court.
Upon arrival, the deputy was met by several individuals, and was advised numerous times that Rivers was not at the house.
The deputy continued his investigation and ultimately made contact with Rivers, who was hiding in a bedroom in the residence, according to police.
Rivers was placed under arrest. A search of Rivers revealed suspected heroin and cocaine, police reported. Rivers was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, and is scheduled for trial in December.
