SNOW HILL – A Baltimore man convicted of armed robbery following a car theft in Ocean City was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with all but 12 years suspended.
Davarn M. Leach Jr., 18, was sentenced on Dec. 15 to 20 years in the Division of Correction for his conviction on the charge of armed robbery. Worcester County Circuit Court Judge Brian D. Shockley imposed the sentence and suspended all but 12 years, placing Leach on three years of supervised probation upon his release.
According to a release from the Worcester County State’s Attorney’s Office, the armed robbery charge against Leach came after the Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) responded to a call for service on Nov. 18, 2022. Officers were dispatched to Dorchester Street, where they spoke with a victim who stated he’d been standing near his vehicle when he was attacked by a group of three males.
“One of the males produced a silver semi-automatic handgun, pointed it at the victim’s head and then struck him with it while demanding money, car keys and a cell phone,” the release reads.
The suspects then stole the victim’s vehicle and other items and fled the scene. While the victim was transported to the hospital where he received treatment for a laceration that occurred during the assault, OCPD officers located the vehicle as it was fleeing west on Route 50. They alerted other law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction in the area.
He’ll do about 8 of the 12 if he behaves correctly while incarcerated.
Nope it is HALF !!! work / good behavier / overcrowding CUTS it in Half !!!!!
Pat , I would like to solve the puzzle
The armed robbery (and assault & battery with a recently stolen handgun) came before the car theft, yes?
The perp has not had a good life, ever. It’s about to get even worse.
The perp should have stayed in school & took the opportunity to get an education, that we paid for, and actually work a job. Instead he choose the easy way out and will let us provide room and board for his next 8 years. I guess he is the smart one after all.
Should have SHOT the bastard !!! Saved Alot of taxpayer $$$$$ !!!!! Oh Well !!!!
