The family of an inmate who died in his jail cell wonders why results of his autopsy have not been released.
Ronnie Lionel White, 19, of Laurel, was found dead June 29, two days after he was charged in the hit-and-run death of Prince George’s Police Cpl. Richard Findley, of New Windsor in Carroll.
The state medical examiner’s office issued a preliminary ruling the next day that White’s death was a homicide and county officials said White had been strangled in the solitary confinement cell.
Bobby Henry, the attorney representing White’s family, said the delay is a disservice to the family, community and state.
The medical examiner’s office said the deadline for the final autopsy report has passed. – AP
Annapolis police arrested a man who unknowigly sold crack cocaine to an undercover police officer in June
Back on June 12th, an undercover officer purchased crack cocaine from 32 year old Rondell Lerio Brightley of Severn Island Court. The transaction took place in the 1900 block of Copeland Street. Mr. Brightley told the officer to call him any time in the future when he needed crack, and that they could meet on the Safeway lot. He was not arrested at the time, as this was part of a larger investigation. On August 7th at 9:17 PM, he was arrested at 907 Royal Street without incident. He is charged with the Distribution of Drugs.
He is currently being held at the Detention Center in lieu of a $50,000.00 bond
