The
Cecil County Detention Center
, (CCDC) is a county detention facility located at 500 Landing Lane, Elkton, MD 21921. It has two components-"Jailside", where individuals are held
pre-trial and after sentencing and the
Community Adult Rehabilitation Center
(CARC), that houses work-release prisoners.
Individuals are held
pre-trial when bond has not been posted and also when awaiting an initial appearance before a District Court Commissioner or a District or Circuit Judge. Bail may be posted in cash, real property located in Maryland or through a corporate bonding company. Most bonds are posted through a corporate bonding company, more commonly known as a bail bondsman.

| I-95 Drug Arrests |
| Posted By C. Thomas Brown |

The Maryland State Police's Pro Active Enforcement Team continues out in force with drug interdiction stops on I-95 in
Cecil County,MD
Most of these "profile" stops are for minor speed violations, unsafe lane changes and following too close.
The basis for the search of the vehicle is usually the odor of
marjuana
due to a K-9 alert or the officers sense of smell. It is incredible how some officers can smell marijuana in a heat sealed package wrapped in a container!! They better be careful or they won't need the dogs!!
To keys to defending many of these cases are the video of the stop, the audio recordings of the stop, the delay in processing the stop and the dog records. A recent "pro-police" decision by the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland makes the challenge of these stops even more difficult and anyone charged with this type of offense needs an experienced attorney for these cases. If you or a loved has been stopped and charged with a drug crime:
Call an experienced
Cecil County drug defense lawyer
