‘Hammered’ driver nearly hit Deputy before passing cruiser; Jamon Knaub had child out for a booze cruise
SALISBURY, MD. — One way to get attention from a police officer is to nearly slam into his cruiser and the blow the horn at him while passing. The only thing this alleged dirtbag with a blood alcohol level of more than three times the legal limit didn’t do was give the cop the finger as he went by on his merry way.
Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis reports that on December 28, 2016, at 12:55 PM, a deputy was traveling northbound on Camden Avenue in the area of Pine Bluff Road when the deputy observed a vehicle that came up quickly behind him, almost striking the rear of the deputy’s patrol vehicle. As the deputy made a turn onto Pine Bluff Rd, the deputy observed that this operator who was behind him started blaring on his horn as he went around the deputy and continued northbound. The deputy immediately initiated a stop of this subject, who would later be identified as Jamon Knaub, but Knaub continued northbound without stopping until reaching North Claremont Drive, five blocks away.
The deputy detected a strong odor of alcohol emanating from Knaub’s breath and person, which coupled with other observed physical indicators, caused the deputy to suspect that Knaub was under the influence of alcohol. The deputy also discovered that Knaub had a five-year-old child in the vehicle with him.
Following sobriety testing, the deputy placed Knaub under arrest. During subsequent processing, Knaub provided a breath sample that registered .35.
Knaub was released upon the issuance of citations.
Charges: Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, Drive vehicle while Under the Influence of Alcohol While Transporting a Minor, Attempt by Driver to Elude Police, Driving While Suspended, Following a Motor Vehicle Closer than Reasonable and Prudent.
Jamon Eugene Knaub, of 106 Edgewood Ave., Apt 1, Fruitland, Md., was charged with theft on June 20, 2016, in Wicomico County District Court by Officer Kerr of the Fruitland Police Dept. A hearing was set for Jan. 3, 2017 with attorney Robert A. Thorton Jr., of Denton representing him.
Knaub was charged with dozens of criminal charges by an array of police officers in and around Salisbury on April 25, 2014. In Wicomico County Circuit Court, with a taxpayer-provided public defender, Tamika Fultz, representing him, a plea deal was cut with the Wicomico County States Attorney. In exchange for a guilty plea DUI and to resisting and interfering with arrest all of the other criminal charges were dropped and Knaub was given three years’ probation with no time and no fine, revealing that Wicomico County States Attorney Matt Maciarello did nothing to protect the public from this menace on the highway. With three years’ probation, Knaub will now face jail time for the prior DUI as well as his newest charge. Maciarello was appointed to the Circuit Court of Wicomico County in 2016 by Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, thus he may get a chance to redeem himself and send Knaub to prison.
Charged with DUI by Ocean City Police Officer Douglas Smith on Oct. 10, 2006, Knaub got a plea deal with the Worcester County States Attorney on Jan. 22, 2007 that sent him to jail for 38 days and no fine.
