State Police Trooper and NCO of the Year Named
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 7, 2007
STATE POLICE TROOPER AND NCO OF THE YEAR NAMED - BOTH TROOPERS WORK IN CARROLL COUNTY
(
Maryland State Police Superintendent Colonel Terrence B. Sheridan congratulated Trooper First Class Eric D. Workman, who won 2006 Trooper of the Year honors and Sergeant Robert J. Stryjewski, Jr., who was named the 2006 Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year.
TFC Workman, who was chosen from among 32 Trooper of the Year nominees, is assigned to the
“Both Sgt. Stryjewski and TFC Workman have distinguished themselves as dedicated public servants who are committed to serving and protecting the people of Maryland,” Colonel Sheridan said. “I am very proud of them and appreciate their willingness to lead by example. They have upheld the highest standards of the
In early 2006, TFC Workman developed a robbery questionnaire that was used to capture vital suspect information and has become an important tool for use by State Police investigators. On his own initiative, TFC Workman applied for and obtained grants for video enhancing equipment. This equipment has enabled police in
TFC Workman initiated a warrant sweep in
In 2006, TFC Workman was assigned an investigation involving a farm which had a notorious reputation for criminal activity and allegations of cruelty to animals and environmental crimes. Efforts by other governmental agencies to deal with the situation had failed for the past 15 years.
TFC Workman coordinated federal, state, and local agencies in a sweeping investigation that resulted in criminal charges for stolen property and numerous charges for animal cruelty and environmental offenses.
His ability to track fugitives is outstanding. In the summer of 2006, a person arrested on a traffic stop escaped custody and a search ensued all that night and the next day, but to no avail. TFC Workman was on leave, but was called back in and within two hours, the suspect was in custody.
Then, after being shot and critically wounded during the service of an arrest warrant in December of 2006, TFC Workman refused to quit. He returned to full duty long before anyone thought he could or should. On his first morning back to duty, he was out serving warrants.
Sgt. Robert J. Stryjewski, Jr., is no stranger to outstanding performance awards. He was the 2001
Sgt. Stryjewski led by example during 2006 and helped the
-a 61 percent increase in the number of investigations initiated;
-a 153 percent increase in the number of drug purchases made;
-a 64 percent increase in the number of search warrants served;
-a 91 percent increase in the number of felony drug arrests made;
-a 974 percent increase in the amount of drug money recovered;
-a 250 percent increase in the amount of motor vehicles seized;
-a 450 percent increase in the number of real estate properties seized;
-a 400 percent increase in the number of firearms recovered;
-a 1000 percent increase in the amount of cocaine seized and dramatic increases in the seizure of other drugs in Carroll County as well.
Those dramatic increases were not because the task force had an “off” year in 2005. The leadership of Sgt. Stryjewski is credited with having a direct impact on those substantial increases.

November 3, 2007
CARROLL COUNTY MAN CHARGED WITH MURDER OF HIS MOTHER
(
The victim has been tentatively identified as Christine R. Windstein, 57, of the unit-block of
The accused is identified as Eric R. Yates, 39, the son of the victim who resided with her. After consultation with the
Center and will appear before a court commissioner later today.
Shortly after 7:30 p.m. yesterday, Maryland State Police at the Westminster Barracks received a 9-1-1 call from a neighbor of the victim. Troopers responded to the trailer park community and were told by the neighbor that he had gone to check the welfare of the victim because he had not seen her in several days, which was unusual. He entered the unlocked trailer and found the deceased victim inside.
Criminal investigators from the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit and the Westminster Barracks, as well as crime scene technicians from the Forensic Sciences Division, responded to the scene to continue the investigation. A search warrant was obtained for the residence and the scene was processed for evidence.
The victim had sustained what appear to be multiple stab wounds.
Investigators recovered a knife inside the residence that is being forwarded to the State Police Forensic Science Laboratory along with other evidence for examination.
During the investigation, information was developed that identified the victim’s son as a suspect. State Police broadcast a lookout for Yates at about 11:00 p.m.
A short time later, officers from the Westminster Police Department found Yates lying on a bench near the
Yates was transported to the Westminster Barracks and, after further investigation, was charged with his mother’s murder early this morning.
A motive for the murder remains unclear at this time. The exact time of the victim’s murder has not been verified, but investigators believe she may have been dead since earlier this week.
The investigation is continuing.

“Posted May 26th, 2007
Carroll County Sheriff’s Deputies will be out in extra force during the Memorial Day Weekend to protect motorists from impaired, aggressive, and unsafe drivers.
With celebrations a historical part of the Memorial Day Holiday, Sheriff’s Deputies are alerting motorists that in addition to the “Click-it and Ticket” seat belt enforcement initiative, a saturation patrol will be in place throughout the weekend to identify and remove impaired drivers from the road.
During 2005, aggressive driving was a factor in 122 motor vehicle crashes, with alcohol impaired drivers causing more than half of all fatal collisions in
Last year, Carroll County experienced a 41% increase in fatal traffic collisions according to “2006 Traffic Fatality statistics,” finishing the year with 24 traffic fatalities and the ninth highest rate of fatal traffic collisions among Maryland’s 23 counties.
According to the Maryland Highway Safety Office seat belt use reduces the risk of death by 60%, and risk of injury by 65%.
Memorial Day Weekend also signals the start of vacation season, and the Board of Carroll County Commissioners appeals to drivers to obey all traffic laws. “We remind motorists to drive safely during the summer vacation season, be extra cautious, and always buckle-up. A few extra seconds of attention can make a lifetime of difference.”
Sheriff Kenneth L. Tregoning also urges citizens to avoid consuming alcoholic beverages or, "designate a sober driver before consuming any alcohol, buckle-up, obey the speed limit, and celebrate safely."

Burglar strikes South Carroll Restaurant, StoreSykesville,
Early Sunday Morning, Carroll County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a reported burglary at the Moonlight Café located in the 1400 BLK of Liberty Road.
The owner, who had left the business intact late Saturday evening, discovered the burglary while opening the restaurant. Once inside the intruder(s) entered a second business, “Two Busy Beads,” which is located above the restaurant.
The Sheriff’s Office initial investigation revealed that intruders “forced” an exhaust fan leading into the restaurant, and then entered the business through an adjoining interior door; removing cash from both businesses.
The Sheriff’s Office investigation continues… Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Unit at 410-386-2900, or the toll free anonymous TIPS Hotline at 1-888-399-TIPP (8477).

Carroll County Delegate Nancy Stocksdale’s end of session wrap-up
April 10th, 2007
Dear Friends:
We have just concluded the 2007 Legislative Session, and I want to tell you about some of the legislation we voted on this year.
As with every Session, the most important thing we must accomplish is to approve a budget for the State. This year, Governor O’Malley’s budget used almost a billion dollars from the Rainy Day Fund to give as much money as possible to every State-funded group who asked for it. Our House Appropriations Committee spent from January to March analyzing the budgets of each agency. We tried to limit the increases over last year’s budget. We even reduced the general fund budget by $186.8 million. Subsequent to our reduction efforts, Governor O’Malley sent four supplemental budgets which then spent the money we had reduced from his original budget!
When the budget was introduced on the House floor, the Republican Minority Leader offered an amendment that would have kept the budget at the 2007 level with just a limited number of exceptions. That amendment was rejected, and the $30 billion dollar budget passed the House of Delegates. Minor changes were made during the conference committee between the Senate and the House budgets, but we have neglected to control spending or to try to decrease the size of the upcoming $1.5 BILLION structural deficit. Thirty-seven tax bills were introduced this year to take $4 billion dollars from our citizens. Although most of these bills did not pass, look out for next year! There are rumors that (Senate) President Miller will be asking the Governor to call for a special session to pass tax increases and slots.
Listed below are some of the other bills which we debated :
Jessica’s Law (HB 930) - The voices of thousands of Marylanders were heard this Session by the House Judiciary Committee and the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee who voted on the Jessica’s Law legislation. The “Bill O’Reilly Show” focused on House Judiciary Committee Chairman, Joe Vallario, who was not supportive of this bill last year. Delegate Vallario is a trial lawyer who does not believe in mandatory sentences. The bill, which was named for the nine-year-old girl from Florida who was r---d and buried alive in a plastic bag, mandates a 25-year prison term with no parole for first-degree r--- or sex offenses against a child under the age of 13. The bill is waiting for Governor O'Malley's signature. PASSED.
Chesapeake Bay Green Fund (HB 1220) – This bill would impose a tax based on the square foot of impervious surfaces on residences and commercial buildings. Impervious surfaces include the roof, driveway, and parking spaces. The cost per square foot began at $2.00 but was amended before it was voted on in the House of Delegates. It is now $.50 per square foot for residential and $1.00 per square foot for commercial. The vote was 96 – 41 in the House, and it was then sent to the Senate where it did not move out of committee. FAILED.
Higher Education – Tuition Charges – Maryland High School Students (HB 6) Even with the budget deficit of $1.5 billion dollars looming for next year, the House of Delegates approved HB 6 (81 to 57 vote) giving undocumented immigrants in-State tuition rates at our universities. Tuition for
Vehicle Laws – Drivers’ Licensing of Illegal Aliens – Restrictions (HB 537) - This bill stops illegal immigrants from getting a driver’s license. FAILED.
Voter Registration Protection Act (SB 488/HB 544) - This allows an individual convicted of any crime, with the exception of buying or selling votes, to register to vote if not actually serving a court-ordered sentence of imprisonment, including any term of parole or probation. Although this bill did not make it out of the House, the Senate bill did succeed in passing in both chambers and is waiting for the Governor’s signature. Your Carroll County Delegation voted against this bill. PASSED.
Clean Indoor Act of 2007 (HB 359/SB 91) - Smoking ban for restaurants and bars passed in both houses but in different forms. An amendment was offered to prohibit smoking altogether in
Election Law – Presidential Primary Election Date (HB 1434/SB 1025) This moves the Presidential Primary Election from March 4 to February 12. Another election related bill, Election Law - Voting Systems - Voter-Verified Paper Records (HB 18) requiring a paper trail was passed unanimously in both the House and Senate. PASSED.
State Procurement Contracts - Living Wage (HB 430) This bill will require a contractor who does work for the State to pay a certain wage. In
The Capital Budget Sub-committee approved a $100,000 bond bill for the Danele Shipley Arena at the
The Department of Juvenile Services appropriated $3,329,000 for the Carroll County Youth Services Bureau’s new building.
For school construction,
All of the legislation requested of the Delegation by the Carroll County Commissioners was passed:
1. Abatement of Nuisances – Ongoing Violations
This provides that if both a property owner and occupant have been notified more than twice during a 12-month period of a specified nuisance violation (overgrowing weeds, accumulation of refuse, presence of stagnant water or combustible materials), the nuisance is considered to be an ongoing violation and additional notification is not required before the county takes action to abate the nuisance.
2. Pretrial and Work Release Programs
This authorizes the Sheriff of Carroll County to establish a pretrial release program that offers alternatives to pretrial detention and to adopt regulations to administer the program.
3. Bingo and Gaming Events – Qualified Organizations
This will permit outside organizations to come to
4. Public Facilities Bonds
This authorizes the commissioners to issue up to $80 million in bonds for acquisition, construction, improvement, or renovation of public buildings, facilities, and public works projects, and for installment purchase agreements for the acquisition of easements on agricultural and forestry lands.
I feel it is an honor and a privilege to serve you in
Sincerely,
Nancy R. Stocksdale
