the community as a dynamic juvenile diversion program. Since 1997, this innovative approach has served as a vital alternative for the juvenile justice system in Frederick County. The punitive and educational components continue to be developed and enhanced to meet the challenging demands of this unique population. The cooperative efforts of various agencies, organizations, and volunteers ensure the success of this endeavor.</p> <p>Since its inception, over 2,200 youth have been served by YOP. The success of this initiative is indicated by the low 35% recidivism rate among participants. Beyond being recognized by the Governor’s Office, County Commissioners, and Attorney General’s Office, the true value of this program can be found in the many lives it has changed for the better.</p> <p><strong>PROGRAM SUMMARY</strong></p> <p>Each juvenile is required to participate in an intensive three-week program that includes:</p> <ul> <li>Classroom instruction at the Frederick County Public Safety Training Center. Guest speakers from the community are invited to talk with the participants.</li> <li>Counseling</li> <li>Drug and alcohol assessments</li> <li>A strict curfew from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.</li> <li>Site visits to locations such as R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, Frederick County Adult Detention Center, and the Western MD Juvenile Detention Center</li> <li>Written reports on all site visits and a final report about the juvenile’s overall experience with the program</li> <li>7 hours of community service</li> </ul> </div></section></div> <div class='av-flex-placeholder'></div><div class='flex_column av-7e55wqg-7799bdfdeceb280796f0e1c86a2154c5 av_one_third avia-builder-el-6 el_after_av_two_third el_before_av_layout_row avia-builder-el-last widget-sidebar av-break-at-tablet flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top av-zero-column-padding ' ><div class='avia-builder-widget-area clearfix avia-builder-el-7 avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><section id="newsbox-2" class="widget clearfix avia-widget-container newsbox"><h3 class="widgettitle">Press Releases</h3><ul class="news-wrap image_size_widget"><li class="news-content post-format-standard"><div class="news-link"><a class='news-thumb no-news-thumb' title="Read: VIRGINIA MAN SENTENCED TO 93 YEARS TO SERVE FOR TWO COUNTS OF FIRST-DEGREE ASSAULT, 2 COUNTS OF USE OF FIREARM IN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME OF VIOLENCE, ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF REGULATED FIREARM" href="https://statesattorney.us/virginia-man-sentenced-to-93-years-to-serve-for-two-counts-of-first-degree-assault-2-counts-of-use-of-firearm-in-the-commission-of-a-crime-of-violence-illegal-possession-of-regulated-firearm/"></a><div class="news-headline"><a class='news-title' title="Read: VIRGINIA MAN SENTENCED TO 93 YEARS TO SERVE FOR TWO COUNTS OF FIRST-DEGREE ASSAULT, 2 COUNTS OF USE OF FIREARM IN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME OF VIOLENCE, ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF REGULATED FIREARM" href="https://statesattorney.us/virginia-man-sentenced-to-93-years-to-serve-for-two-counts-of-first-degree-assault-2-counts-of-use-of-firearm-in-the-commission-of-a-crime-of-violence-illegal-possession-of-regulated-firearm/">VIRGINIA MAN SENTENCED TO 93 YEARS TO SERVE FOR TWO COUNTS OF FIRST-DEGREE ASSAULT, 2 COUNTS OF USE OF FIREARM IN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME OF VIOLENCE, ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF REGULATED FIREARM</a><span class="news-time">February 26, 2025 -

/><img class="cff-linebreak" />FREDERICK MAN TO SERVE 17 YEARS IN THE DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS FOR ARMED ROBBERY<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Frederick, MD – Today, in Frederick County Circuit Court, Judge Julia Minner sentenced 42-year old Nicholas Albanes, of Frederick, MD to 20 years, suspend all but 17 years of active incarceration, to the Division of Corrections for Armed Robbery. The Defendant pleaded guilty to the charge on January 7, 2025 and sentencing was postponed until today.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />On 5/10/2023, at approximately 5:20 p.m., Frederick Police responded to Hillcrest Drive and Lancaster Place for a robbery and possible attempted abduction of a child. Officers contacted the victim and her 8-year old daughter. The victim told police they were walking along Hillcrest Drive when she noticed a vehicle parking along the shoulder of the road. Shortly after, she felt the Defendant brush up against her and then attempted to grab her daughter. The victim held on to her daughter while the Defendant forcibly grabbed the victim’s purse from her. The victim told police that the Defendant attempted to grab for the child a second time, unsuccessfully, and the victim began screaming for help. The Defendant then pepper-sprayed both victims and fled the scene in his vehicle. <img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Police reviewed available surveillance footage that captured the incident and identified the Defendant through matching motor vehicle registration, automobile records and forensically collected DNA off of the pepper-spray canister located at the scene. Multiple witnesses, who heard the screaming nearby, also provided details to police. <img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Judge Minner addressed the Defendant, stating, “I am sympathetic to your addictions, however, you maced a little girl and her mother. I must assure the community’s safety.”<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Upon release from the Division of Corrections, the Defendant will serve three years of supervised probation with conditions as outlined by the Court.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Assistant State’s Attorney, Samantha Slattery, and Chief Assistant State’s Attorney for the Violent Crimes Division, Ricky Lewis, represented the State of Maryland.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Press Contact:<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak"

/><img class="cff-linebreak" />FREDERICK MAN TO SERVE 17 YEARS IN THE DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS FOR ARMED ROBBERY<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Frederick, MD – Today, in Frederick County Circuit Court, Judge Julia Minner sentenced 42-year old Nicholas Albanes, of Frederick, MD to 20 years, suspend all but 17 years of active incarceration, to the Division of Corrections for Armed Robbery. The Defendant pleaded guilty to the charge on January 7, 2025 and sentencing was postponed until today.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />On 5/10/2023, at approximately 5:20 p.m., Frederick Police responded to Hillcrest Drive and Lancaster Place for a robbery and possible attempted abduction of a child. Officers contacted the victim and her 8-year old daughter. The victim told police they were walking along Hillcrest Drive when she noticed a vehicle parking along the shoulder of the road. Shortly after, she felt the Defendant brush up against her and then attempted to grab her daughter. The victim held on to her daughter while the Defendant forcibly grabbed the victim’s purse from her. The victim told police that the Defendant attempted to grab for the child a second time, unsuccessfully, and the victim began screaming for help. The Defendant then pepper-sprayed both victims and fled the scene in his vehicle. <img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Police reviewed available surveillance footage that captured the incident and identified the Defendant through matching motor vehicle registration, automobile records and forensically collected DNA off of the pepper-spray canister located at the scene. Multiple witnesses, who heard the screaming nearby, also provided details to police. <img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Judge Minner addressed the Defendant, stating, “I am sympathetic to your addictions, however, you maced a little girl and her mother. I must assure the community’s safety.”<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Upon release from the Division of Corrections, the Defendant will serve three years of supervised probation with conditions as outlined by the Court.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Assistant State’s Attorney, Samantha Slattery, and Chief Assistant State’s Attorney for the Violent Crimes Division, Ricky Lewis, represented the State of Maryland.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Press Contact:<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak"

The defendant must participate fully with all prescribed treatment and instructions of the DTC staff. Sentencing will occur upon graduation or termination from DTC. The DTC provides a comprehensive program of supervision and treatment, which includes substance abuse treatment, education, and vocational and rehabilitative services. Focus The DTC focuses on assisting the participants in achieving self-sufficiency and becoming responsible members of the community by living drug-free in an environment filled with life’s obstacles and pressures. Who is Eligible Many of these residents will be unemployed, indigent, single parents who have educational, job training, housing, and social issues. The eligibility requirements are blind to race, ethnicity, gender, and/or religious orientation. The following goals have been developed to provide a more efficient judicial process for criminal cases involving substances, to provide a more effective intervention for alcohol and substance abuse offenders, and to decrease recidivism within the community:</p> <p><strong>Goal #1:<br /> </strong>Enhance public safety in Frederick County by reducing criminal activity (to include any drug and/or alcohol-related citation/charges) by DTC participant and graduates within the community.</p> <p><strong>Goal #2:<br /> </strong>Reduce substance abuse among DTC participants by providing effective interventions.</p> <p><strong>Goal #3:<br /> </strong>To reduce the burden on taxpayers by promoting self-sufficiency of participants and graduates.</p> <p>Drug Treatment Court Agency Partners Frederick County Circuit Court Frederick County State’s Attorney’s Office Office of the Public Defender Frederick County Behavioral Health Services – Substance Abuse Services Department of Public Safety & Correctional Services – Community Supervision Frederick County Law Enforcement Agencies For information regarding the Frederick County Drug Treatment Court program, contact DTC Coordinator Paul Wolford at <a href="tel:3016002978" target="_blank" rel="noopener">301-600-2978</a> or via <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">email Paul Wolford</a>.</p> </div></section></div> <div class='av-flex-placeholder'></div><div class='flex_column av-hmmpy0-92e6cf485d77ab5989ac13942ce92506 av_one_third avia-builder-el-63 el_after_av_two_third el_before_av_layout_row avia-builder-el-last widget-sidebar av-break-at-tablet flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top av-zero-column-padding ' ><div class='avia-builder-widget-area clearfix avia-builder-el-64 avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><section id="newsbox-2" class="widget clearfix avia-widget-container newsbox"><h3 class="widgettitle">Press Releases</h3><ul class="news-wrap image_size_widget"><li class="news-content post-format-standard"><div class="news-link"><a class='news-thumb no-news-thumb' title="Read: VIRGINIA MAN SENTENCED TO 93 YEARS TO SERVE FOR TWO COUNTS OF FIRST-DEGREE ASSAULT, 2 COUNTS OF USE OF FIREARM IN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME OF VIOLENCE, ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF REGULATED FIREARM" href="https://statesattorney.us/virginia-man-sentenced-to-93-years-to-serve-for-two-counts-of-first-degree-assault-2-counts-of-use-of-firearm-in-the-commission-of-a-crime-of-violence-illegal-possession-of-regulated-firearm/"></a><div class="news-headline"><a class='news-title' title="Read: VIRGINIA MAN SENTENCED TO 93 YEARS TO SERVE FOR TWO COUNTS OF FIRST-DEGREE ASSAULT, 2 COUNTS OF USE OF FIREARM IN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME OF VIOLENCE, ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF REGULATED FIREARM" href="https://statesattorney.us/virginia-man-sentenced-to-93-years-to-serve-for-two-counts-of-first-degree-assault-2-counts-of-use-of-firearm-in-the-commission-of-a-crime-of-violence-illegal-possession-of-regulated-firearm/">VIRGINIA MAN SENTENCED TO 93 YEARS TO SERVE FOR TWO COUNTS OF FIRST-DEGREE ASSAULT, 2 COUNTS OF USE OF FIREARM IN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME OF VIOLENCE, ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF REGULATED FIREARM</a><span class="news-time">February 26, 2025 -

/><img class="cff-linebreak" />FREDERICK MAN TO SERVE 17 YEARS IN THE DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS FOR ARMED ROBBERY<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Frederick, MD – Today, in Frederick County Circuit Court, Judge Julia Minner sentenced 42-year old Nicholas Albanes, of Frederick, MD to 20 years, suspend all but 17 years of active incarceration, to the Division of Corrections for Armed Robbery. The Defendant pleaded guilty to the charge on January 7, 2025 and sentencing was postponed until today.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />On 5/10/2023, at approximately 5:20 p.m., Frederick Police responded to Hillcrest Drive and Lancaster Place for a robbery and possible attempted abduction of a child. Officers contacted the victim and her 8-year old daughter. The victim told police they were walking along Hillcrest Drive when she noticed a vehicle parking along the shoulder of the road. Shortly after, she felt the Defendant brush up against her and then attempted to grab her daughter. The victim held on to her daughter while the Defendant forcibly grabbed the victim’s purse from her. The victim told police that the Defendant attempted to grab for the child a second time, unsuccessfully, and the victim began screaming for help. The Defendant then pepper-sprayed both victims and fled the scene in his vehicle. <img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Police reviewed available surveillance footage that captured the incident and identified the Defendant through matching motor vehicle registration, automobile records and forensically collected DNA off of the pepper-spray canister located at the scene. Multiple witnesses, who heard the screaming nearby, also provided details to police. <img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Judge Minner addressed the Defendant, stating, “I am sympathetic to your addictions, however, you maced a little girl and her mother. I must assure the community’s safety.”<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Upon release from the Division of Corrections, the Defendant will serve three years of supervised probation with conditions as outlined by the Court.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Assistant State’s Attorney, Samantha Slattery, and Chief Assistant State’s Attorney for the Violent Crimes Division, Ricky Lewis, represented the State of Maryland.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Press Contact:<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak"

This program has been implemented to allow a student in the Criminal Justice field to observe and participate in all facets of a Criminal Investigation and due process through the Criminal Court System. It is the intention of the State’s Attorney’s Office and the prosecutor assigned to the intern to offer the intern a hands-on experience which will enhance their traditional course of study at their university.</p> <p>We offer many rewarding and exciting opportunities litigating the following types of cases:</p> <ul> <li>Felony Trial</li> <li>Sex Crimes Unit</li> <li>Domestic Violence</li> <li>Special Prosecutions</li> <li>Juvenile Division</li> <li>Narcotics Bureau</li> </ul> <p>The Intern and Clerkship Program is designed for students only. Internships and Clerkships are offered in the summer and during the academic year. We accept applications year-round and interview candidates on a rolling basis. Undergraduate students with relevant experience or education are welcome to apply.</p> <p>Each Division has a limited number of placements for non-salaried interns. Interns have the unique opportunity to receive two hands-on experiences in the preparation of the prosecution of criminal cases in either our District Court Division or our Circuit Court Division. The intern will be assigned to a full time Assistant District Attorney and/or Division Chief who will supervise the intern. Although the intern will generally be assigned to a primary prosecutor, from time to time he or she will be assigned to others within the State’s Attorney’s Office to include other prosecutors, detectives, and for at least one day, personnel from the victim/witness advocacy unit. The primary prosecutor will complete a work performance evaluation at the conclusion of the program. A copy of that evaluation will be provided to the student’s university’s practicum coordinator.</p> </div></section> <div class='hr av-3myjne0-d4c7905d04fba6b2dee7099a447bdf05 hr-custom avia-builder-el-120 el_after_av_textblock el_before_av_heading hr-left hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class="hr-inner-style"></span></span><span class='av-seperator-icon' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'></span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class="hr-inner-style"></span></span></div> <div class='av-special-heading av-cxnoqw-83ee3456a9b213d233976cb68148f1b5 av-special-heading-h4 blockquote modern-quote avia-builder-el-121 el_after_av_hr el_before_av_textblock '><h4 class='av-special-heading-tag ' itemprop="headline" >Undergraduate Internships:</h4><div class="special-heading-border"><div class="special-heading-inner-border"></div></div></div> <section class='av_textblock_section av-3k84p3c-cf1e21abd3b16014579357a3dccfc0fb ' itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/CreativeWork" ><div class='avia_textblock' itemprop="text" ><p>The Undergraduate Internship Program is designed to give undergraduate students exposure to the prosecutor’s role in the criminal justice system and for the Office to scout perspective employees. At the Frederick County State’s Attorney’s Office, interns are an integral part of our workforce. Students gain exposure to criminal case prosecution and are given responsibility, meaningful work, and a chance to leave their mark.</p> <p>The internship program also affords students the opportunity to get “real world” experience in their area of study, possibly for college credit. The program is intended to provide knowledge, skills, and experiences that an intern can apply to future challenges and professional pursuits, while giving back to the Frederick community.</p> <p>Most students are assigned to one unit for the duration of the internship as determined by the current needs of the Office. Occasionally these needs may require a student to split time between units. Each student will have unique experiences and duties based upon unit assignment. Some students will closely assist paralegals and/or Assistant State’s Attorneys, while others will work more independently fulfilling unit tasks. Regardless of unit placement, all students will be given the opportunity to observe the various aspects of criminal case prosecution. To further enhance the experience, State’s Attorney’s Office personnel will lead breakout sessions highlighting units and office initiatives during each semester.</p> <p>Students are required to give the office a minimum of 15 hours per week during the spring and fall semesters. If a student is performing the internship for academic credit, it is the student’s responsibility to communicate the institutional requirements to the Office. All undergraduate internship positions are unpaid.</p> <h5>Program Details:</h5> <p>Depending on the assignment, students may assist in investigations, hearings and trials; prepare, compile and analyze legal and non-legal documents and financial data; perform research, observe witness interviews, participate in community outreach programs and attend trials.</p> <p>As a Victim/Witness Coordinator, the undergraduate college student acts as a liaison between victims and State’s witnesses, and the prosecuting attorney. The intern is assigned a particular day in court, and each week is responsible for pulling the files in preparation for that court day. The intern also contacts the State’s victims and witnesses regarding their court appearance and answers any questions they may have.</p> <p><strong>Interns also</strong> play a critical role in preparing (screening) and assisting Assistant State’s Attorneys in the District Court with misdemeanor criminal cases. The intern is a bridge between the citizens and the legal system, to educate the community to better understand the workings of the criminal justice system, and assist citizens to more effectively utilize the legal system to achieve justice.</p> <h5>Other tasks include:</h5> <ul> <li>Interviewing victims, witnesses, police officers</li> <li>Gathering and reviewing evidence</li> <li>Preparing subpoenas, motions, and other court documents</li> <li>Redaction on documents to be introduced in court</li> <li>Listening to jail calls</li> <li>Victim/Witness support (fielding v/w questions before and during court)</li> <li>Perform a variety of clerical tasks.</li> </ul> </div></section> <div class='hr av-3i26euw-3dad447344851e9c9a2b157225247b0f hr-custom avia-builder-el-123 el_after_av_textblock el_before_av_heading hr-left hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class="hr-inner-style"></span></span><span class='av-seperator-icon' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'></span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class="hr-inner-style"></span></span></div> <div class='av-special-heading av-3gblbqw-c231a227fd0e553c39116fb8e084988f av-special-heading-h4 blockquote modern-quote avia-builder-el-124 el_after_av_hr el_before_av_textblock '><h4 class='av-special-heading-tag ' itemprop="headline" >Summer Clerkship</h4><div class="special-heading-border"><div class="special-heading-inner-border"></div></div></div> <section class='av_textblock_section av-3f0csm0-9a098d2dce6a1dbfc45c797f845c62ed ' itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/CreativeWork" ><div class='avia_textblock' itemprop="text" ><p>The program is a unique and invaluable opportunity for law school and undergraduate intern students offered during the summer.

/><img class="cff-linebreak" />FREDERICK MAN TO SERVE 17 YEARS IN THE DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS FOR ARMED ROBBERY<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Frederick, MD – Today, in Frederick County Circuit Court, Judge Julia Minner sentenced 42-year old Nicholas Albanes, of Frederick, MD to 20 years, suspend all but 17 years of active incarceration, to the Division of Corrections for Armed Robbery. The Defendant pleaded guilty to the charge on January 7, 2025 and sentencing was postponed until today.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />On 5/10/2023, at approximately 5:20 p.m., Frederick Police responded to Hillcrest Drive and Lancaster Place for a robbery and possible attempted abduction of a child. Officers contacted the victim and her 8-year old daughter. The victim told police they were walking along Hillcrest Drive when she noticed a vehicle parking along the shoulder of the road. Shortly after, she felt the Defendant brush up against her and then attempted to grab her daughter. The victim held on to her daughter while the Defendant forcibly grabbed the victim’s purse from her. The victim told police that the Defendant attempted to grab for the child a second time, unsuccessfully, and the victim began screaming for help. The Defendant then pepper-sprayed both victims and fled the scene in his vehicle. <img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Police reviewed available surveillance footage that captured the incident and identified the Defendant through matching motor vehicle registration, automobile records and forensically collected DNA off of the pepper-spray canister located at the scene. Multiple witnesses, who heard the screaming nearby, also provided details to police. <img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Judge Minner addressed the Defendant, stating, “I am sympathetic to your addictions, however, you maced a little girl and her mother. I must assure the community’s safety.”<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Upon release from the Division of Corrections, the Defendant will serve three years of supervised probation with conditions as outlined by the Court.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Assistant State’s Attorney, Samantha Slattery, and Chief Assistant State’s Attorney for the Violent Crimes Division, Ricky Lewis, represented the State of Maryland.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Press Contact:<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak"

Frederick County. This program has been implemented to allow a student in the Criminal Justice field to observe and participate in all facets of a Criminal Investigation and due process through the Criminal Court System. It is the intention of the State’s Attorney’s Office and the prosecutor assigned to the intern to offer the intern a hands-on experience which will enhance their traditional course of study at their university.</p> <p>We offer many rewarding and exciting opportunities litigating the following types of cases:</p> <ul> <li>Felony Trial</li> <li>Sex Crimes Unit</li> <li>Domestic Violence</li> <li>Special Prosecutions</li> <li>Juvenile Division</li> <li>Narcotics Bureau</li> </ul> <p>The Intern and Clerkship Program is designed for students only. Internships and Clerkships are offered in the summer and during the academic year. We accept applications year-round and interview candidates on a rolling basis. Undergraduate students with relevant experience or education are welcome to apply.</p> <p>Each Division has a limited number of placements for non-salaried interns. Interns have the unique opportunity to receive two hands-on experiences in the preparation of the prosecution of criminal cases in either our District Court Division or our Circuit Court Division. The intern will be assigned to a full time Assistant District Attorney and/or Division Chief who will supervise the intern. Although the intern will generally be assigned to a primary prosecutor, from time to time he or she will be assigned to others within the State’s Attorney’s Office to include other prosecutors, detectives, and for at least one day, personnel from the victim/witness advocacy unit. The primary prosecutor will complete a work performance evaluation at the conclusion of the program. A copy of that evaluation will be provided to the student’s university’s practicum coordinator.</p> </div></section> <div class='hr av-1pzsd2g-8c37593e2287af93b4ca0fe18fda0c9f hr-custom avia-builder-el-160 el_after_av_textblock el_before_av_heading hr-left hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class="hr-inner-style"></span></span><span class='av-seperator-icon' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'></span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class="hr-inner-style"></span></span></div> <div class='av-special-heading av-1onp6jc-549b4548ec73e60b8385434737a0f39e av-special-heading-h4 blockquote modern-quote avia-builder-el-161 el_after_av_hr el_before_av_textblock '><h4 class='av-special-heading-tag ' itemprop="headline" >Undergraduate Internships:</h4><div class="special-heading-border"><div class="special-heading-inner-border"></div></div></div> <section class='av_textblock_section av-1n7s6l4-7ac30373407b6f3db2910be9410e21bc ' itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/CreativeWork" ><div class='avia_textblock' itemprop="text" ><p>The Undergraduate Internship Program is designed to give undergraduate students exposure to the prosecutor’s role in the criminal justice system and for the Office to scout perspective employees. At the Frederick County State’s Attorney’s Office, interns are an integral part of our workforce. Students gain exposure to criminal case prosecution and are given responsibility, meaningful work, and a chance to leave their mark.</p> <p>The internship program also affords students the opportunity to get “real world” experience in their area of study, possibly for college credit. The program is intended to provide knowledge, skills, and experiences that an intern can apply to future challenges and professional pursuits, while giving back to the Frederick community.</p> <p>Most students are assigned to one unit for the duration of the internship as determined by the current needs of the Office. Occasionally these needs may require a student to split time between units. Each student will have unique experiences and duties based upon unit assignment. Some students will closely assist paralegals and/or Assistant State’s Attorneys, while others will work more independently fulfilling unit tasks. Regardless of unit placement, all students will be given the opportunity to observe the various aspects of criminal case prosecution. To further enhance the experience, State’s Attorney’s Office personnel will lead breakout sessions highlighting units and office initiatives during each semester.</p> <p>Students are required to give the office a minimum of 15 hours per week during the spring and fall semesters. If a student is performing the internship for academic credit, it is the student’s responsibility to communicate the institutional requirements to the Office. All undergraduate internship positions are unpaid.</p> <h5>Program Details:</h5> <p>Depending on the assignment, students may assist in investigations, hearings and trials; prepare, compile and analyze legal and non-legal documents and financial data; perform research, observe witness interviews, participate in community outreach programs and attend trials.</p> <p>As a Victim/Witness Coordinator, the undergraduate college student acts as a liaison between victims and State’s witnesses, and the prosecuting attorney. The intern is assigned a particular day in court, and each week is responsible for pulling the files in preparation for that court day. The intern also contacts the State’s victims and witnesses regarding their court appearance and answers any questions they may have.</p> <p><strong>Interns also</strong> play a critical role in preparing (screening) and assisting Assistant State’s Attorneys in the District Court with misdemeanor criminal cases. The intern is a bridge between the citizens and the legal system, to educate the community to better understand the workings of the criminal justice system, and assist citizens to more effectively utilize the legal system to achieve justice.</p> <h5>Other tasks include:</h5> <ul> <li>Interviewing victims, witnesses, police officers</li> <li>Gathering and reviewing evidence</li> <li>Preparing subpoenas, motions, and other court documents</li> <li>Redaction on documents to be introduced in court</li> <li>Listening to jail calls</li> <li>Victim/Witness support (fielding v/w questions before and during court)</li> <li>Perform a variety of clerical tasks.</li> </ul> </div></section> <div class='hr av-1ltfro8-ae61cd61f25aabdaa351fec09a174673 hr-custom avia-builder-el-163 el_after_av_textblock el_before_av_heading hr-left hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class="hr-inner-style"></span></span><span class='av-seperator-icon' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'></span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class="hr-inner-style"></span></span></div> <div class='av-special-heading av-1izv7vc-58bef8edf694ff9d65a41474e13869ad av-special-heading-h4 blockquote modern-quote avia-builder-el-164 el_after_av_hr el_before_av_textblock '><h4 class='av-special-heading-tag ' itemprop="headline" >Summer Clerkship</h4><div class="special-heading-border"><div class="special-heading-inner-border"></div></div></div> <section class='av_textblock_section av-5f9gnc-b54d2fa1a7455cb6e511381cf9c752d1 ' itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/CreativeWork" ><div class='avia_textblock' itemprop="text" ><p>The program is a unique and invaluable opportunity for law school and undergraduate intern students offered during the summer.

/><img class="cff-linebreak" />FREDERICK MAN TO SERVE 17 YEARS IN THE DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS FOR ARMED ROBBERY<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Frederick, MD – Today, in Frederick County Circuit Court, Judge Julia Minner sentenced 42-year old Nicholas Albanes, of Frederick, MD to 20 years, suspend all but 17 years of active incarceration, to the Division of Corrections for Armed Robbery. The Defendant pleaded guilty to the charge on January 7, 2025 and sentencing was postponed until today.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />On 5/10/2023, at approximately 5:20 p.m., Frederick Police responded to Hillcrest Drive and Lancaster Place for a robbery and possible attempted abduction of a child. Officers contacted the victim and her 8-year old daughter. The victim told police they were walking along Hillcrest Drive when she noticed a vehicle parking along the shoulder of the road. Shortly after, she felt the Defendant brush up against her and then attempted to grab her daughter. The victim held on to her daughter while the Defendant forcibly grabbed the victim’s purse from her. The victim told police that the Defendant attempted to grab for the child a second time, unsuccessfully, and the victim began screaming for help. The Defendant then pepper-sprayed both victims and fled the scene in his vehicle. <img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Police reviewed available surveillance footage that captured the incident and identified the Defendant through matching motor vehicle registration, automobile records and forensically collected DNA off of the pepper-spray canister located at the scene. Multiple witnesses, who heard the screaming nearby, also provided details to police. <img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Judge Minner addressed the Defendant, stating, “I am sympathetic to your addictions, however, you maced a little girl and her mother. I must assure the community’s safety.”<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Upon release from the Division of Corrections, the Defendant will serve three years of supervised probation with conditions as outlined by the Court.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Assistant State’s Attorney, Samantha Slattery, and Chief Assistant State’s Attorney for the Violent Crimes Division, Ricky Lewis, represented the State of Maryland.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Press Contact:<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak"

itemprop="text" ><p><strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</strong><br /> <strong>May 23, 2018</strong></p> <h1>PRESS RELEASE</h1> <h2>Court of Special Appeals Affirms Judgment of Llosvani Galvez</h2> <p>FREDERICK – The Court of Special Appeals of Maryland affirmed the conviction against Llosvani Galvez in an unreported Opinion filed on May 23, 2018.</p> <p>The Defendant appealed alleging that the trial court erred by allowing the State to introduce evidence of the Defendant’s prior conviction for assaulting the Victim and the fact that the Victim resumed a relationship with the Defendant following that assault. However, the appellate court agreed with the trial court’s determination that the prior crime had special relevance to the issue of consent, as the Defense had argued at trial that the rape allegation was not credible because the Victim briefly again reconciled with the Defendant following the event. Under the facts of the case, as the State argued, the cycle of domestic violence between the parties helped to explain how future reconciliation was not inconsistent with a forcible rape.</p> <p>On August 25, 2016, a Deputy from the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of Arrowhead Court in Frederick for a report of a rape. The victim advised that her on and off again boyfriend had repeatedly asked for sex and raped her after being continually told no. The victim was transported to Frederick Memorial Hospital where a sexual assault forensic exam was conducted. Evidence included a recorded phone conversation and text messages in which the defendant apologized to the victim.</p> <p>Llosvani Galvez, 32, of Temple Hills, Maryland was convicted of Second Degree Rape following a jury trial on February 10, 2017. On May 9, 2017, he was sentenced by the Honorable Judge Theresa Adams to a total of 20 years in the Division of Correction, with all but 12 years suspended. Upon completion of his sentence, the defendant will be placed on 3 years of supervised probation, will be required to register as a lifetime sex offender and will have to serve at least 50% of his sentence before being eligible for parole, as he has been convicted of a crime of violence. The State was represented by Assistant State’s Attorney Brett Engler and Chief Assistant State’s Attorney Lindy Angel.</p> <p><strong>J. Charles Smith, III</strong><br /> State’s Attorney for Frederick County, Maryland</p> </div></section></div> <div class='av-flex-placeholder'></div><div class='flex_column av-3mbiql-ccbacd4b9478bc42bf7647dd6f0b6794 av_one_third avia-builder-el-200 el_after_av_two_third el_before_av_section avia-builder-el-last widget-sidebar av-break-at-tablet flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top av-zero-column-padding ' ><div class='avia-builder-widget-area clearfix avia-builder-el-201 avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><section id="newsbox-2" class="widget clearfix avia-widget-container newsbox"><h3 class="widgettitle">Press Releases</h3><ul class="news-wrap image_size_widget"><li class="news-content post-format-standard"><div class="news-link"><a class='news-thumb no-news-thumb' title="Read: VIRGINIA MAN SENTENCED TO 93 YEARS TO SERVE FOR TWO COUNTS OF FIRST-DEGREE ASSAULT, 2 COUNTS OF USE OF FIREARM IN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME OF VIOLENCE, ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF REGULATED FIREARM" href="https://statesattorney.us/virginia-man-sentenced-to-93-years-to-serve-for-two-counts-of-first-degree-assault-2-counts-of-use-of-firearm-in-the-commission-of-a-crime-of-violence-illegal-possession-of-regulated-firearm/"></a><div class="news-headline"><a class='news-title' title="Read: VIRGINIA MAN SENTENCED TO 93 YEARS TO SERVE FOR TWO COUNTS OF FIRST-DEGREE ASSAULT, 2 COUNTS OF USE OF FIREARM IN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME OF VIOLENCE, ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF REGULATED FIREARM" href="https://statesattorney.us/virginia-man-sentenced-to-93-years-to-serve-for-two-counts-of-first-degree-assault-2-counts-of-use-of-firearm-in-the-commission-of-a-crime-of-violence-illegal-possession-of-regulated-firearm/">VIRGINIA MAN SENTENCED TO 93 YEARS TO SERVE FOR TWO COUNTS OF FIRST-DEGREE ASSAULT, 2 COUNTS OF USE OF FIREARM IN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME OF VIOLENCE, ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF REGULATED FIREARM</a><span class="news-time">February 26, 2025 - 5:56 pm</span></div></div></li><li class="news-content post-format-standard"><div class="news-link"><a class='news-thumb no-news-thumb' title="Read: LITTLESTOWN MAN TO SERVE 5 YEARS WITHOUT PAROLE ELIGIBILITY IN THE DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS FOR FIRST-DEGREE ASSAULT AND USE OF A FIREARM IN THE COMMISSION OF A VIOLENT CRIME" href="https://statesattorney.us/littlestown-man-to-serve-5-years-without-parole-eligibility-in-the-division-of-corrections-for-first-degree-assault-and-use-of-a-firearm-in-the-commission-of-a-violent-crime/"></a><div class="news-headline"><a class='news-title' title="Read: LITTLESTOWN MAN TO SERVE 5 YEARS WITHOUT PAROLE ELIGIBILITY IN THE DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS FOR FIRST-DEGREE ASSAULT AND USE OF A FIREARM IN THE COMMISSION OF A VIOLENT CRIME" href="https://statesattorney.us/littlestown-man-to-serve-5-years-without-parole-eligibility-in-the-division-of-corrections-for-first-degree-assault-and-use-of-a-firearm-in-the-commission-of-a-violent-crime/">LITTLESTOWN MAN TO SERVE 5 YEARS WITHOUT PAROLE ELIGIBILITY IN THE DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS FOR FIRST-DEGREE ASSAULT AND USE OF A FIREARM IN THE COMMISSION OF A VIOLENT CRIME</a><span class="news-time">February 25, 2025 - 12:59 pm</span></div></div></li><li class="news-content post-format-standard"><div class="news-link"><a class='news-thumb no-news-thumb' title="Read: FREDERICK MAN TO SERVE 17 YEARS IN THE DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS FOR ARMED ROBBERY" href="https://statesattorney.us/frederick-man-to-serve-17-years-in-the-division-of-corrections-for-armed-robbery/"></a><div class="news-headline"><a class='news-title' title="Read: FREDERICK MAN TO SERVE 17 YEARS IN THE DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS FOR ARMED ROBBERY" href="https://statesattorney.us/frederick-man-to-serve-17-years-in-the-division-of-corrections-for-armed-robbery/">FREDERICK MAN TO SERVE 17 YEARS IN THE DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS FOR ARMED ROBBERY</a><span class="news-time">February 18, 2025 - 3:35 pm</span></div></div></li><li class="news-content post-format-standard"><div class="news-link"><a class='news-thumb no-news-thumb' title="Read: County Executive Proclaims February 5th Prosecutor’s Day to Honor Local Prosecutors’ Role in Justice and Community Safety" href="https://statesattorney.us/county-executive-proclaims-february-5th-prosecutors-day-to-honor-local-prosecutors-role-in-justice-and-community-safety/"></a><div class="news-headline"><a class='news-title' title="Read: County Executive Proclaims February 5th Prosecutor’s Day to Honor Local Prosecutors’ Role in Justice and Community Safety" href="https://statesattorney.us/county-executive-proclaims-february-5th-prosecutors-day-to-honor-local-prosecutors-role-in-justice-and-community-safety/">County Executive Proclaims February 5th Prosecutor’s Day to Honor Local Prosecutors’ Role in Justice and Community Safety</a><span class="news-time">February 5, 2025 - 8:21 am</span></div></div></li><li class="news-content post-format-standard"><div class="news-link"><a class='news-thumb no-news-thumb' title="Read: WASHINGTON D.C.

The sentences for the most significant charges will run consecutively.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />On November 18, 2021, at approximately 8:30 a.m., police responded to a call for an armed robbery in the 400 Block of E. Patrick Street. Investigators quickly determined the incident was not a robbery. A witness told police that the Defendant held a handgun to the back of the victim’s head and pulled the trigger, but the gun did not successfully discharge. There was a second victim who intervened and gave chase to the Defendant. The original victim had an active final protective order against the Defendant issued from the State of Virginia. The protective order was issued due to the Defendant’s prior threats to kill the victim. The Defendant ran from the scene upon being chased by the second victim and discarded the weapon in Carroll Creek. Police located and arrested the Defendant near Hope Circle shortly after the incident. It was clear that the Defendant had worn a disguise, including a beanie with a black wig in an attempt to hide his identity. The Defendant’s active protective order was found inside the Defendant’s car, and he had driven from Virginia to commit the crime.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />State’s Attorney Charlie Smith said, “Mr. Hanson presented a great danger to the community and this domestic violence victim, who already held an active Virginia protective order meant to protect her. I am pleased that the Court sentenced the Defendant in a way that incapacitates him and ensures her safety.”<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />During a Victim Impact Statement, the bystander victim expressed to the Court, “Today, my friend has the power; she won. For the last three years, the State gave us our power back.”<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />In addition, the original victim told the Court, “My family and I have been profoundly impacted. My children will now grow up without being in a constant state of fear and threat of violence.” <img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Judge Julie Solt addressed the Defendant, saying, “You caused significant emotional harm to the two victims, while putting them in physical danger. I don’t know how someone could make a choice to kill the parent of his own children. This court has no confidence that you could be out in society as a law abiding citizen.”<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Chief Domestic Violence Unit, Brett Engler represented

/><img class="cff-linebreak" />LITTLESTOWN MAN TO SERVE 5 YEARS WITHOUT PAROLE ELIGIBILITY IN THE DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS FOR FIRST-DEGREE ASSAULT AND USE OF A FIREARM IN THE COMMISSION OF A VIOLENT CRIME<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Frederick, MD – Today, in Frederick County Circuit Court, The Honorable Judge Scott Rolle sentenced 30-year-old Bryant A. Paradine, of Littlestown, PA, to 25 years in the Division of Corrections suspending 20 years with 5 years to serve for First-Degree Assault and Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Violent Crime after the Defendant pleaded guilty. The Defendant is not eligible for parole consideration as part of the plea agreement and will be required to serve the entire 5 years in prison.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />On August 14, 2024, at approximately 7:30 a.m., Maryland State Police responded to a call for a shooting near Route 15 SB/Tippin Drive. The 911 caller reported that a man shot a firearm from his driver’s side window at another motorist passing him before exiting U.S. 15 onto Tippin Drive. The victim of the shooting also called police to report that he had been shot at. Police recovered one projectile from the victim’s vehicle. Both the witness and the victim described the Defendant’s vehicle as an early 2000’s red/maroon chevy Tahoe with PA registration and the operator as a white male with a beard. Thurmont Police surveillance cameras picked up the Defendant’s SUV at 7:27am turning onto Frederick Road and vehicle registration information confirmed the Defendant’s identity as Bryant Paradine. Troopers located and interviewed Paradine at his nearby place of employment where he admitted to being involved in the road rage incident and firing a round at the other motorist. Paradine was placed under arrest and his vehicle was searched. Troopers recovered a Canik 9 mm handgun with a loaded magazine as well as one spent 9 mm casing from his vehicle. <img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />State’s Attorney Charlie Smith said, “Road rage is a real danger to our community. While many of these cases are first-time offenders, they present too great of a public safety risk to not put them in prison. We must send a message that if you are willing to jeopardize someone's life, the repercussions will change your life forever.”<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />The victim, who was in agreement with the sentence, addressed the court stating, “He was tailgating me, cut me off, brake checked me, pulled out a gun and pulled the trigger. Why did he think he had the right to decide that my family would never see me again and make my wife a widow?”<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Upon release from the Division of Corrections, the Defendant will serve 3 years on supervised probation with all standard conditions, including anger management classes. The firearm and ammunition were ordered forfeited as part of the sentence and the Defendant is prohibited from owning a firearm for the rest of his life.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />The investigation was handled by the Maryland State Police Criminal Enforcement Division with assistance from the Thurmont Police Department. Chief, Violent Crimes Unit, Ricky Lewis, represented the State of Maryland.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Press Contact:<img class="cff-linebreak" />Jacqueline Rottmann<img

/><img class="cff-linebreak" />FREDERICK MAN TO SERVE 17 YEARS IN THE DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS FOR ARMED ROBBERY<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Frederick, MD – Today, in Frederick County Circuit Court, Judge Julia Minner sentenced 42-year old Nicholas Albanes, of Frederick, MD to 20 years, suspend all but 17 years of active incarceration, to the Division of Corrections for Armed Robbery. The Defendant pleaded guilty to the charge on January 7, 2025 and sentencing was postponed until today.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />On 5/10/2023, at approximately 5:20 p.m., Frederick Police responded to Hillcrest Drive and Lancaster Place for a robbery and possible attempted abduction of a child. Officers contacted the victim and her 8-year old daughter. The victim told police they were walking along Hillcrest Drive when she noticed a vehicle parking along the shoulder of the road. Shortly after, she felt the Defendant brush up against her and then attempted to grab her daughter. The victim held on to her daughter while the Defendant forcibly grabbed the victim’s purse from her. The victim told police that the Defendant attempted to grab for the child a second time, unsuccessfully, and the victim began screaming for help. The Defendant then pepper-sprayed both victims and fled the scene in his vehicle. <img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Police reviewed available surveillance footage that captured the incident and identified the Defendant through matching motor vehicle registration, automobile records and forensically collected DNA off of the pepper-spray canister located at the scene. Multiple witnesses, who heard the screaming nearby, also provided details to police. <img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Judge Minner addressed the Defendant, stating, “I am sympathetic to your addictions, however, you maced a little girl and her mother. I must assure the community’s safety.”<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Upon release from the Division of Corrections, the Defendant will serve three years of supervised probation with conditions as outlined by the Court.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Assistant State’s Attorney, Samantha Slattery, and Chief Assistant State’s Attorney for the Violent Crimes Division, Ricky Lewis, represented the State of Maryland.<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak" />Press Contact:<img class="cff-linebreak" /><img class="cff-linebreak"
