<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">WALDORF, MD. – Charles County Sheriff Troy Berry reports that the identity of the victim who was murdered during a home invasion robbery on Terrace Drive in Waldorf, Md., as Michael Keith Beers, 34, of Waldorf.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Police say he was an occasional resident of the house in which he was murdered during a robbery.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Beers was indicted on four counts of drug distribution in Baltimore County Circuit Court on July 1, 2002. At the time of the indictment, Beers was a resident of the Maryland prison system. On Oct. 7, 2002, the charges were dropped by the Baltimore County States Attorney.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">On March 27, 2000, Beers entered a guilty plea to drug distribution in Baltimore County. </span></p>

<h2>Jalen Proctor in the business of dealing dope, says Sheriff Berry</h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">WALDORF, MD. – What? A drug dealer doing business in the crime town of Waldorf? Egads, Batman, say it ain’t so!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Charles County Sheriff Troy Berry reports that on January 26, 2016, at 12:49 a.m., officers responded to the 7000 block of Evergreen Drive in Waldorf for the report of a suspicious vehicle. Upon arrival, the officer approached the vehicle and immediately smelled the odor of marijuana. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Police say that further investigation revealed containers of marijuana, a digital scale, and US currency. Jalen Marquise Proctor, 19, of 2905 Holburn Court, Waldorf, Md., was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and possession with the intent to distribute. Officer J. Brown investigated. Proctor posted bond the day of his arrest and was released to pursue his various interests.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Proctor has only traffic charges on his record. This charge of dealing drugs in his hometown could lead to a long and fruitful career, or, to an early grave as befalls many other young black males in Maryland – and in the past month – to two other Waldorf drug dealers, as reported above, and below.</span></p>

<h2>Drug Dealer Lydell Wood Gunned Down in Broad Daylight in Growing Crime-town of Waldorf</h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">WALDORF, MD. &#8212; Waldorf ushers in the new year with a new murder as local killers try to keep up with their drug dealing killing cousins in D.C., PG County</span>,<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> and Baltimore.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Charles County Sheriff Troy Berry reports that on January 6 at 2:05 p.m., Charles County Sheriff&#8217;s officers responded to the 2600 block of Rooks Head Place in Waldorf for the report of a shooting. Upon arrival, officers located an adult male with a gunshot wound.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Police say that the victim has been identified as 29-year-old Lydell Walter Wood of Waldorf. Charles County Police says Wood was shot and killed during a confrontation in the parking lot of his neighborhood. Wood was transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. Police say that a preliminary investigation showed the victim and suspect had a confrontation in the parking lot of a neighborhood when the suspect produced a gun and shot the victim.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The suspect fled on foot. Detectives canvassed the area and are working on leads. Anyone with information is asked to call Det. J. Elliott at (301) 932-2222 or (301) 609-6515.

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Wood’s arrest and conviction record include numerous charges of assault and drug dealing, primarily in Charles County, Maryland. Wood, of 2525 Robinson Place in Waldorf, Md., was most recently arrested for possession of drugs, theft, and disorderly conduct by Charles County Patrol Officer J. Dewberry on Dec. 27, 2015, and was to appear in court on March 8, 2016.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In Calvert County Circuit Court, Lydell Wood was found in a paternity action brought by the Calvert County Bureau of Child Support for Natalie Dove to be the rooster in a pending case and now child support will no longer be available due to his demise. When Dove and Calvert County brought the action, Wood was a resident of the Maryland prison system.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Wood was supposed to be sentenced for a violation of his probation which occurred in 2013 by Charles County Circuit Court Judge Harrington on Jan. 4, 2016 after a series of hearings and mental competency examination following an Alford Plea of guilty to indictments on drug distribution charges on June 2, 2011. Wood had been sentenced to serve 206 days in prison with five years of probation following his plea deal with Charles County States Attorney Anthony Covington. In the deal, Covington dropped five counts of the indictment for drug dealing. The deal, in which Wood admitted that the prosecution had enough evidence to convict him should the case go to trial, he was initially given 20 years in prison </span>with<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> 19 years, 5 months and 7 days suspended with 206 days’ credit </span>of<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> time served.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As this case took place in the Alice in Wonderland World of the Maryland Judiciary, the plea deal which took place on June 2<sup>nd</sup> was challenged by the defendant’s attorney four days later for a motion </span>of<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> reconsideration, which allows a Judge to reverse or reduce the sentence agreed to in a plea deal or handed down by a Judge. The States Attorney filed an opposition to the motion on June 17, 2011.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Charles County Sheriff Berry was given a warrant to arrest Wood on Jan. 4, 2016 after he apparently failed to show up for his return ticket back to prison. The Sheriff can return the warrant to the Judge and mark it “undeliverable”.</span></p>
