Brief Filed In Knupp Dismissal Appeal

SNOW HILL – The Maryland Attorney General’s Office is requesting oral arguments be heard in a case that was recently dismissed in Worcester County Circuit Court.

Last Thursday, the Office of the Attorney General filed its brief with the Appellate Court of Maryland regarding the case against Tyler Mailloux, a local man whose traffic charges were dismissed in Worcester County Circuit Court in August over lack of jurisdiction. In their filing, Attorney General Anthony Brown and Assistant Attorney General Zoe Gillen White argued the circuit court erred in dismissing the criminal information.

“Here too, the criminal information was properly filed in Circuit Court, and the District Court was consequently divested of jurisdiction over all 17 charges,” the brief reads. “The circuit court erred in dismissing the criminal information. The State respectfully asks the Court to reverse the judgment of the Circuit Court for Worcester County.”

In a motions hearing Aug. 18, Judge Brett Wilson granted a motion to dismiss the case against Mailloux in Worcester County Circuit Court over lack of jurisdiction, although he noted that charges could be refiled in district court. Immediately following the ruling, the prosecution filed a notice to appeal.

“The State is filing an immediate appeal of the dismissal and we will await the decision of the appellate court,” Worcester County State’s Attorney Kris Heiser said in a statement at the time. “Nothing will happen with the case until that decision comes down.”
