Maryland State Police conduct crime blitz in Wicomico, Dorchester Counties
Maryland State Police, along with allied local and federal law enforcement agencies, partnered on Friday to target criminal activity and criminal organizations operating within Wicomico and Dorchester counties.
In Wicomico County, enforcement efforts were based on intelligence relating to illegal drug use and sales, firearm violations and crimes of violence.
In Dorchester County, the gathering of information included identifying criminal gang members and suspects of open criminal investigations and fugitive apprehension/warrant services.
Information obtained during the Dorchester County operation led to intelligence regarding a case previously investigated by the Dorchester County Narcotics Task Force.
This information was used to serve a search and seizure warrant on a targeted residence and as a direct result led to the seizure of a handgun, cocaine, fentanyl, heroin and marijuana and the arrest of a suspect.
The suspect, identified as Tayron Rynell Daniel Mims, 32, of Cambridge, Maryland is charged with felony drug possession and distribution charges. He was taken to the Dorchester County Sheriff鈥檚 Office for processing
