Frederick County Sheriff's Office Sheriff Williamson Retirement Frederick County Sheriff Robert Williamson announced his retirement will be effective December 31, 2015. This will end his stint in office that spanned 24 years. Williamson said he wanted to spend more time with his grandchildren and pursue other interests.

Williamson, 62, entered law enforcement in 1974 as a jailer in Frederick County. He won all six elections for sheriff, the first three as a Democrat and the last three as a Republican. I have employees who weren t born when I was first elected, Williamson said. They haven t known any other sheriff but me. Williamson said he doesn t plan to make any endorsements in the race to succeed him. I just have one vote, he said. Andrew Robbins, assistant commonwealth s attorney, said Williamson will leave some very large shoes to fill. His first priority has been the quality of his officers and the quality of the work they produce, Robbins said. He has always been rigid about fairness and honesty. I know that sounds like a bumper sticker, but I have worked with a lot of law enforcement officials, and it s really been quite remarkable to work with him.

High Profile Cases Homicide Koller August 21, 2015 WINCHESTER After two Frederick County Sheetz stores were involved in an apparent series of raids involving cigarettes beginning Tuesday, officials with the multi-state corporation say they are cooperating with police. Sheetz is aware of an active investigation regarding cigarette sales and we are fully cooperating with the appropriate authorities on the matter, public relations manager for the company Tarah Arnold stated in a Thursday email. Due to the ongoing status of this investigation, there is no additional information available at this time. Throughout the day and night on Tuesday, federal, state and local authorities were seen conducting operations at a minimum of six county businesses. They were: The Sheetz stores at 1574 Martinsburg Pike in Stephenson and at 1503 North Frederick Pike. The Virginia Cigarette Outlet and Discount Cigarette shops at 109 and 111 Hopewell Road, respectively. The Dollar Stretcher at 330 Welltown Road. The Olde Stone Truck Stop at 3425 Martinsburg Pike. The Virginia Cigarette Outlet and Discount Cigarette shops were both seen on Tuesday afternoon being searched by authorities, who piled what appeared to be hundreds of cardboard boxes containing thousands of cartons of cigarettes (various brands) in the parking lot of both stores. At about the same time, officials were seen removing boxes containing what appeared to be numerous manila envelopes from a window on the second floor of the Olde Stone Truck Stop and loading them side by side on the roof of an attached, one-story building. On Wednesday, two owners of the Dollar Stretcher confirmed that their store was also raided. They said their entire cigarette inventory was seized, along with the money they had on hand at the store, files and personal cellphones. The owners said they had done nothing illegal. No other shop owners or personnel had spoken on the matter as of Thursday. Frederick County Sheriff s Office deputies, Virginia and West Virginia state police and agents with the federal Department of Homeland Security all appeared to be involved in the operations. No information has been released concerning any criminal arrests or charges, though officials with Homeland Security have said that the U.S. Attorney s Office of West Virginia would be handling the case.

WINCHESTER If driving into Frederick County with 261 packets of heroin wasn t enough, trying to hide on an elected official s property with it after fleeing from a sheriff s deputy certainly was for four Pennsylvanians. Frederick County Sheriff s deputies Aaron Jeter and Christopher Darlington, and Cpl. Chester Renner, received employee of the month awards for August, September and October at a Board of Supervisors meeting last week for their outstanding performance and dedicated service during the traffic stop in July. In an interview with The Star on Tuesday, the three men related their accounts of what happened on the afternoon of July 10, when they seized more heroin than many deputies see during their entire careers. Jeter said he was driving north on Martinsburg Pike (U.S. 11) toward Stephenson in a 45 mph zone when he passed a southbound car that he clocked at 81 mph. He said he did a quick U-turn and signaled with his lights. Instead of stopping, the driver pulled onto the property of Frederick County Board of Supervisors Vice- Chairman Charles S. DeHaven. DeHaven said in a phone interview Wednesday that he was working in his shed when he saw a vehicle speed down his driveway. Any time a vehicle comes down my driveway with that kind of speed, it s a concern, he said. Shortly after the vehicle headed toward his greenhouse, DeHaven said, he saw a deputy sheriff s car in close pursuit and pointed in the direction of where the driver had gone. I was glad to know what was going on and that it was [the deputy s] concern and not mine anymore, said DeHaven, who added that he returned to his shed after that. Jeter said once he located the vehicle, he called for backup, and Darlington and Renner arrived within minutes. After Jeter spoke with the driver, 31-year-old Jason Thomas Seifert, of Munhall, and ran his car registration, Darlington and Renner asked his three passengers to step outside the car. They were acting very calm, but you could tell something wasn t right, Renner said. They kept saying I could search the car. They didn t care. Darlington said the front seat passenger, 38-year-old Christopher James Sullivan, of South Park Township, looked lethargic. You could tell he was high, Darlington said. When Darlington searched the car, he said he found a pill wrapped in cellophane which later proved to be a legal muscle relaxer and a syringe in the purse of 22-year-old Amanda Wagner-Martin, of Pittsburgh. She said the syringe was for her foot that had swelled up, Renner said. After Renner took the pill back to his vehicle to call poison control, he said he noticed white packages on the ground underneath the front passenger seat from where he was standing about 20 feet away. Darlington and Renner removed the packages, read the four people their rights, and handcuffed them. It took some prodding and questioning, Darlington said, but Sullivan eventually confessed that the white packages which contained heroin were his.

Sullivan then admitted he had four syringes inside the crotch area of his pants. All of [the people in the car] were probably using, Renner said. There were 5 1 / 2 white packages underneath the car, one of which was open. Inside the packages were 261 squares of wax paper the size of a piece of Starburst candy that contained the heroin, according to Jeter, Renner and Darlington. It s the most I ve seen at one time, Darlington said. You generally will find people using heroin for personal use, but it s not every day you find an amount large enough to distribute. Jeter guessed the street value of the heroin seized to be about $10,000. They were coming down here to make a profit, Jeter said. It s cheaper to buy heroin in Pittsburgh. The approximate weight of the heroin seized was 39 grams. Seifert was charged in Frederick County General District Court with reckless driving, eluding police and having no operator s license, according to Frederick County Sheriff Robert Williamson. He has a Sept. 28 court date. Sullivan was charged with falsely identifying himself to a law enforcement officer, possession of a controlled substance classified as a schedule 1 or 2 drug with intent to manufacture, sell give or distribute. His next court date is Oct. 6. Wagner-Martin could still be charged, pending testing that s being done on the syringe that was in her purse. The other passenger, Todd Andrew Zalin, 26, of Pittsburgh, has not been charged. It goes to show you never know what s out there, Renner said.
