DWI HIT PARADE: Wheeling and dealing by States Attorney Richard Fritz keeps DUI drivers on the road instead of in jail
The Maryland State Police report the following people were arrested for Driving under the Influence:
• Sergio De Jesus Flores Trujillo, 22, (DOB 02/08/1997) of 21421 Prather Drive, Lexington Park, Md., was arrested on Jan. 16, 2020 at 11:32 pm by Tfc K. Bauer as he conducted his alleged booze cruise on Md. Rt. 235 north of Airport View Road in Hollywood, Md. A court date in Leonardtown District Court has been set of Feb. 20, 2020.
Taxpayers will be delighted to know that they would be footing the bill for a free attorney for Trujillo, however, he declined in order to book a better deal with an experienced attorney. A. Shane Mattingly, the Chairman of the Democratic Party in St. Mary’s County was the attorney for Trujillo when he was busted for DWI on Feb. 24, 2018, at 1:58 am by Maryland Trooper Brandy Ditoto as he piloted an old Saturn on Md. Rt. 237 at Clipper Drive.
Mattingly maintains a close relationship with St. Mary’s States Attorney Richard Fritz in order to arrange politically bipartisan plea deals – though Mattingly lost the election against Fritz in 2014. On April 19, 2018, Mattingly worked a plea deal with Fritz for Trujillo. THE DEAL: Trujillo entered a guilty plea to DWI and got a verdict of Probation Before Judgement with 30 days in jail ALL of which was suspended as the once more the public was ill-served by the big talking prosecutor who routinely allows DUI drivers to simply skate out of court without any accountability. No fine and two years of unsupervised probation were part of the deal.
• Samuel Robert Simmons, 37, (DOB 09/23/1982) of 17661 Lawrence Street, St. Inigoes, Md., was arrested by Tfc A. Opirhory on Jan. 19, 2020 for DWI at 1:35 am. Simmons was operating a 2014 Chevy Traverse southbound on Rt. 235 at Immaculate Heart of Mary which also is the site of a large cemetery which is a final resting place for DUI drivers who kill themselves and could have made room for Simmons.
• Joseph Robert Tagert, 35, (DOB 08/02/1984) if 26680 Forest Way, Mechanicsville, Md., was arrest for DWI on Jan. 19, 2020 by Maryland State Trooper Posch at 2:54 am as he operated a 2017 Toyota southbound on Md. Rt. 5 at Braxton Way. Tagert is represented by Andrew Alpert of Bowie with a court date set for Feb. 21, 2020.

This isn’t Tagert’s first rodeo as he entered a guilty plea to DWI on Nov. 9, 2006. In spite of the abilities of Barrister Alpert to arrange plea deals and to make prosecutors cower and hide under the table, the prior DWI offense might send him to jail. On May 26, 2006, Tagert was arrested by Maryland Trooper Jason Ramey as he operated a 1993 Honda westbound on U.S. Rt. 50 west of Hall Road. IN a plea deal with the Worcester County States Attorney, Tagert was given sixty days in jail, all of which was suspended and a fine of $400. Salisbury attorney Charles Anderson represented Tagert.
