DWI HIT PARADE: Leonardtown Barrack of Maryland State Police Found Alleged DUI Motorists Too Full of Hard Cider and or Drugs to Drive during Spook Week; Shoulda stuck to candy corn and candy apples

The following people were reported by police as being arrested for Driving under the Influence:
• On 10/27/2021, Justin Whitney Lilly, 35, of Lexington Park, Md was arrested for DUI by Tpr D. Black at 12:51 am for driving while impaired by alcohol and or drugs on Md Rt. 246 in Lexington Park.
• On 10/30/2021, at 2:19 am, Lyndacee Rena Sells, 22, of Lexington Park, MD was arrested for DUI by Tpr K. Poland as she failed to turn into a pumpkin, and charges were filed on November 1, 2021. Sells was operating her Halloween wheels on Rt. 235 at Wildewood Blvd. when she was captured.
• On 10/31/2021, Kirk Kerfit Degler Jr, 29, of 11351 Redlands Road, Lusby, MD was arrested for DUI by Tpr T. Eckrich at 2:18 am, just after the last call for the local bars that featured great Halloween parties. Degler was stopped by the trooper as he piloted a 2021 Toyota just south of Rt. 4 on Rt. 235, sparing him the danger of plunging into the Patuxent River in the event he careened of the top of the Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge. Degler was dressed for a great party and an Uber would have cost him $27 to $30 for a ride home from a bar located on Rt. 235 in California. A good DUI lawyer will cost him from $10,000 to $15,000. If Degler killed someone that night, defending against a manslaughter by motor vehicle DUI charge could have cost him upwards of $50,000 and risked a prison sentence of ten years. But he did save $27 to $30 on Uber.
• On 10/31/2021, Harakambos George Zografos, 26, (DOB 8/16/1995) of 45864 West Quincy Terrace, Lexington Park, MD was arrested for DUI by Tpr Jonathan Powis at 2:03 am when he attracted the attention of the trooper by running a red light at Airport View Drive and Rt. 235, according to court records.

On and January 2, 2013, Nelson entered a guilty plea to DWI and was sentenced to 180 days in jail with all but four days suspended.
