George Gerlach’s April Fool’s Adventure  leads to DUI and drug charges

LUSBY, MD.  Calvert Sheriff Mike Evans reports that on April 1, 2015 at 10:11 p.m. while on patrol a citizen advised DFC M. Velasquez that he observed a vehicle on the side of the road with a driver who appeared ill.  Velasquez made contact with the driver of the subject vehicle, which was on the side of the road on Little Cove Point Road and Rudolph Lane in Lusby.

Police say that the deputy found the driver, George Frederick Gerlach, 54, of Yew Court in St. Leonard, to be under the influence of alcohol.  Gerlach was arrested and charged with DUI, two counts of CDS possession; Suboxone and Diazepam and possession of drug paraphernalia; a smoking device.

The Calvert County States Attorney let Gerlach off easy on Feb. 26, 2014 with probation before judgment on a charge of DUI by a controlled substance (drugs) as he motored on Broomes Island Road near Grays Road on Nov. 3, 2013 when arrested by a Calvert Sheriff’s Deputy.

Gerlach was also charged with possession of pot and paraphernalia that same time and entered a guilty plea with no fine and no time.  In a plea deal on the DUI charge, Gerlach was given 20 days in jail with all of the time suspended and a fine of $192.50, which if the court actually collected, would be that much less funds he had available to buy more drugs.

Gerlach was represented by Prince Frederick attorney Ted LeBlanc and God only knows which prosecutor in the States Attorney’s Office is responsible for this lame deal but he or she likely plays golf with LeBlanc.

Gerlach lives at the same residence on Yew Court with George Lewis Gerlach who, according to court records, got a great plea deal himself to an indictment in Calvert County Circuit Court for manufacturing and distributing drugs.

On May 2, 2005, George Lewis Gerlach entered a guilty plea and the Calvert County States Attorney had allowed no fine, no time and one year’s probation to the drug dealing rap. Even that light sentence was the target of an effort for a “reconsideration” of the sentence in 2008.
