Charges against two men implicated in Deandre Kelly’s escape from the county jail in January were not prosecuted by State’s Attorney Lisa Thayer Welch during recent Garrett County Circuit Court proceedings.
Richard Demoan Hall Jr., 27, Frederick, and Eric Mandrell Nibbins, 27, Washington, D.C., were both indicted by the March 2011 grand jury with one count of conspiracy to commit first degree escape, first degree escape, two counts of first degree assault, two counts of second degree assault, and use of a handgun in the commission of a felony/crime of violence.
Five drug-related charges against Hall were also not prosecuted by the state’s attorney: possession of a controlled dangerous substance (CDS) with intent to distribute, conspiracy to possess CDS with intent to distribute, CDS distribute with a firearm, and two counts of possession of marijuana.
The drug charges stem from a traffic stop conducted by Maryland State Police on eastbound I-68 near Friendsville on Jan. 22. Hall and Kelly were passengers in a car driven by 27-year-old Frostburg area resident Amber Lynn James, who was stopped for traveling 83 mph in a 65 mph zone.
