Felony drug arrests on the rise in MarylandCUMBERLAND, Maryland — Despite an overall drop in drug arrests in Maryland from 2001 to 2002, including a significant 19.6 percent drop in Allegany County, Maryland felony drug arrests are on the rise in the area, according to Det. Sgt. Jim Pyles of C3I.
Allegany County, Maryland reported 475 drug arrests in 2002, according to the 2002 Uniform Crime Report distributed by Maryland State Police. Pyles said the number of felony arrests has jumped 28 percent.
Part of that percentage is due to an increase in heroin use. Pyles said the number of heroin cases skyrocketed 200 percent from 2002 to 2003, which in turn produced an increase in criminal activity.
“Drug activity leads to criminal activity. They go hand in hand,” he said. “An increase in heroin use leads to an increase in property damage. (Addicts) have to feed their habit.”
Other illegal drugs are still common and present in the area, Pyles said, but heroin use is rapidly spreading throughout the county.
“We’re not seeing such an increase in seizures (of other drugs) like heroin; however, we continuously and aggressively pursue people buying marijuana and cocaine,” he said. “My belief is that heroin users 100 percent of the time have smoked marijuana, and 98 percent have used three or more drugs before escalating to heroin.”
Although heroin cases tend to involve younger people, Pyles said the ratio between drug arrests of adolescents versus adults is slim.
“It does not discriminate by age: drug use or arrests,” he said. “There are not a whole lot of variances.”
Pyles said the aggressive work of local law enforcement agencies with increasing drug activity can be attributed to the higher number of arrests. The public’s involvement in reporting drug activity is also helpful.
“The citizens of Allegany County are stepping up to the plate and providing us with information that has led to a large part of our success,” he said.
Pyles said the majority of drug arrests are repeat offenders.
“Eighty percent of the crimes are committed by 20 percent of the people,” he said. “However, new dealers appear on our screen daily.”
Counties across the state are apparently finding it difficult to access drug dealers in action. Sgt. Marcus Jones of the Montgomery County, Maryland Police said the dominance of cell phones in the once open-air drug market poses problems for drug investigators.
“It’s just more secret, and it’s harder for us to infiltrate,” he said.
But Pyles said the wireless communication hasn’t hampered investigation in this area.
“In Allegany County there is no open-air drug market,” he said. “As we move into the 21st century, cell phones have not impeded our investigations at all.”
These investigations can become a lengthy process. Lt. Col. Jeff Cox of Prince George’s County, Maryland Police, said his jurisdiction’s 9.9 percent drop in arrests from 2001 to 2002 doesn’t necessarily mean police are going soft on drug crimes.
He said one explanation may be that officers might have targeted large drug dealers instead of easier targets.
Pyles said police have to remain focused on covering all angles of an investigation.
“Obviously, the major drug players are the target of an investigation,” he said. “We start at the lowest level and work our way up.”
He said one of the reasons Allegany County has seen such a rise in drug arrests when neighboring counties have not is because of the cooperation of local law enforcement agencies.
“We have maximum utilization of resources in Allegany County, Maryland from the State’s Attorney’s Office to C3I to C3I Narcotics and all agencies involved (here),” he said. “The right hand knows what the left hand’s doing. In other places, that’s not the case.”
