Special Prosecutor to prosecute State's Attorney for DUI
San Diego DUI attorney news
State’s Attorney Joel J. Todd announced today his intention to have Thomas M. Degonia II, of Venable LLP in Rockville, as special prosecutor for the DUI case of Davis R. Ruark, state’s attorney for Wicomico County.
Degonia was formerly an assistant state’s attorney in Montgomery County.
A special prosecutor will be used due to the longstanding professional relationship between Todd and Ruark. Both the state Prosecutor’s Office and the Maryland Attorney General’s Office declined to provide a special prosecutor – the former because this is not an alleged case of public corruption and the latter because of a conflict of interest of their own.
Ruark faces DUI / drunk driving and a weapons charge stemming from a Friday traffic stop in Ocean City
