A local radio personality accused of Internet crime has waived a preliminary hearing.
April 20, 2010 by Kevin Dayhoff
A part-time radio sports announcer in Westminster, Bryan Neal McLean, waived his right to a preliminary hearing last Friday, according to a spokesperson for the Magisterial District Judge in Hanover where the hearing was to have taken place.
The court spokesperson said that he waived the hearing last Wednesday and that the case will now proceed to the “York County court system for a trial date.” No word yet as to when that trial date has been set.
McLean, 44, is a graduate of Westminster High School and received his degree in mass communications from then-Towson State College in 1989, according to his biography on the radio website. He has done sports play-by-play for WTTR since 1987, covering high school and college basketball and football games and has also done remote broadcasts.
The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office charged McLean on March 18, according to court records, for incidents which occurred throughout the second half of 2009 when it is alleged that he exposed himself to special agents Jessica Eger and Lisa Ceh, both with the Child Predator Unit.
He is facing charges of unlawful contact with a minor stemming from an allegation that he exposed himself to an undercover agent who was working for the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General and posing as a minor online.
McLean is charged with five counts of unlawful contact with a minor and one count for criminal use of a communication facility, for using his computer for the contact, according to court documents.
According to the charges, McLean, under the screen name “mdfunguy38,” sent special agent Ceh access to his Web cam on July 28 and thereupon exposed himself and masturbated, according to the criminal complaint. Court documents state that Ceh was working undercover as a 13-year-old girl at the time.
Then on Aug. 3, using another instant message program and the screen name listed as “bryan mclean,” he exposed himself and masturbated for Eger, who also posed as a 13-year-old girl, according to court documents.
Similar exposures are also alleged to have taken place on Aug. 25 and 27, Sept. 10 and Oct. 13.
“Wanna see it?” he asked on Aug. 25. On Aug. 27, he exposed himself again on the Web cam, court documents state.
Court documents also allege that during a video chat Sept. 10, “mdfunguy38” removed his shirt and the agent asked “so u want me to just watch?” “Yeah if its ok,” he typed before exposing himself.
Then Nov. 23, court records show, “mdfunguy38” asked for the age of the girl, and the agent responded “13.” He asked for photos and said “want me to turn on cam?”
He then said he had to make a phone call and the chat ended, according to court documents.
Meanwhile, a Monday press release from the Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett, announced the recent arrest of six suspected Internet predators across Pennsylvania and urged “parents to make online safety part of their spring and summer family discussions.”
“Now, more than ever, it is important for families to discuss Internet safety, as warmer weather brings changes in school schedules and family activities,” Corbett said.
“As spring quickly gives way to summer vacation season, online predators are hoping that more teens will be home alone for longer periods of time and may be spending more time on-line chatting with their friends, playing games or just exploring the Internet…
“We know that spring and summer trigger a jump in the number of incidents involving Internet predators,” Corbett said.
“Last year, our Child Predator Unit arrested 32 people during the spring and summer months, including men from every corner of Pennsylvania and from as far away as Texas, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Maryland, New Jersey and Ohio, all trying to use the Internet to sexually victimize children.”
Corbett said that circumstances involved in recent arrests across the state highlight the threat posed by online predators and the many different ways they operate.
In each of these recent cases, suspects communicated with undercover agents from the Child Predator Unit who were using the online profiles of 13 and 14-year old girls.
McLean will be prosecuted by Deputy Attorney General Christopher Jones of the Attorney General’s Child Predator Unit, according to the press release.
Corbett said in the release that all of the suspects are charged with various counts of unlawful contact with a minor and criminal use of a computer, felony charges which are punishable by up to seven years in prison and $15,000 fines.

Maryland State Police: Two dead in Hampstead murder-suicide
Two dead in Hampstead murder-suicide
Wednesday, March 17, 2010
A tragedy as the result of domestic violence has once again struck Carroll County.
In an incident yesterday, an ex-husband is alleged to have shot his way into the home of his ex-wife, killed her fiancé, and then turned gun on himself.
By Kevin Dayhoff http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2010/03/maryland-state-police-two-dead-in.html Labels: Carroll Co Dist Hampstead, Carroll County crime, Crime, Dayhoff writing essays crime, MD State Police, Public Safety Domestic Violence http://kbetrue.livejournal.com/309053.html
(Hampstead, MD) – The Maryland State Police were called to the scene of an apparent murder-suicide, in the late-morning hours of Tuesday, March 16, 2010, just outside of the town of Hampstead in northern Carroll County, Maryland, which has left two men dead.
According to the Maryland State Police, a 911 call came in to Carroll County Emergency Operations Center shortly after 11:00 a.m. “from a woman in the 1200-block of Allview Drive. She told the dispatcher that her ex-husband had just come into her home and shot her fiancé before shooting himself.”
When police arrived they found two deceased males in a first floor family room at the rear of the house, according to Maryland State Police spokesman Greg Shipley.
A subsequent investigation indicates that one of the males, identified as Michael L. Swift, III, 45 of the 3600-block of Benson Ave., Halethorpe, Baltimore County Md, is alleged to have used a shotgun to shoot his way through a sliding glass door in the back of the house.
At that point, police believe that Swift shot Zaidan S. “Steve” Asid, 51 and then turned the gun on himself. A .12-gauge shotgun was still in the possession of Swift when police arrived.
The police investigation revealed that the woman, (whom Kevin Dayhoff - Soundtrack will not identify because she is the victim of domestic violence,) who had made the 911 call, is apparently the former wife of Swift - and currently the fiancé of Asid, and lived at the home.
Police indicate that she was in the residence at the time of the shooting. She was taken for a medical examination, but found to be apparently unharmed physically. No one else was in the home at the time of the shooting.
The deceased were transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for autopsies as the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit spent the rest of the afternoon investigating the scene.
The Maryland State Police said that the investigation is ongoing. Check back with Kevin Dayhoff - Soundtrack - http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/ for more details as they develop.

Yesterday, a bail review hearing for Anthony Troy Soligny, accused of attacking his wife with a hammer on March 2 was postponed until today.
Maryland State Police say Soligny allegedly assaulted his wife with a steel and rubber hammer, which police said they have taken into evidence.
At about 11:30 p.m. March 2, State Police at the Westminster Barracks received a 911 call from the victim, who had gone to a neighbor’s home to call police.
Troopers found the victim had sustained what appeared to be severe blunt force trauma injuries to her head. She was transported by ambulance to the Carroll Hospital Center, then later to Shock Trauma Center.
In the hearing held this morning in Carroll County District Court, visiting Judge Paula J. Brown, noted that Soligny is accused of a violent crime and agreed with the assistant state’s attorney, Tae Yee, that Soligny “is a serious flight risk.”
After the alleged assault on March 2, Soligny had fled the state and was arrested the next day, March 3, while traveling on I-85 just outside of Lavonia Georgia. He was subsequently locked up in Franklin County Detention Center in Carnesville, Ga., until Maryland State Police returned him to Carroll County.
Last Tuesday, Maryland State Police spokesman Greg Shipley said Soligny arrived at the Carroll County Detention Center at 5:45 p.m. He was flown back to Maryland by troopers on a State Police plane. “There were no problems reported during transport.”
Meanwhile, today, the judge ordered the defendant held without bail. It was further ordered that Soligny have no contact with the alleged victim, (his wife) or “the minor children,” and that Soligny be given a psychiatric evaluation.
Soligny did not appear in person in the short hearing but remained in the Carroll County Detention Center and participated by way of a video-link into the courtroom.
After the judge read the charges to the defendant, Soligny only answered “yes,” that he understood the charges. When asked if he will be contacting a public defender or obtaining a private attorney, Soligny responded, “private attorney.”
As if he had any questions, Soligny asked, “No one is going to hurt me here?,” at which time several friends of the victim began sobbing softly in the courtroom, while observing the hearing come to a close. According to several family friends, the victim of the attack is still recuperating from serious injuries.
Various sources close to the investigation have alluded that Soligny has been “uncooperative” since his arrest.
