  • Man faces burglary charges

    Officers arrested a man after he allegedly broke into a relative's garage in the 200 block of Pin Oak Lane to steal items to pawn in order to buy marijuana, according to the Frederick Police Department.

    Dana Jerome Ricketts, 36, of Frederick was arrested an hour after he ran away from officers about 7:20 p.m. Sunday, police said.

    Witnesses called police after they saw Ricketts break a window in a detached garage and go inside, police said.

    When officers arrived, they saw Ricketts climb out of the window. When he saw them, he ran away through residents' yards and into Mount Olivet Cemetery. He was later found and arrested.

    Ricketts was charged with second- and fourth-degree burglary and malicious destruction of property, authorities said.

    Multiple calls at wine festival

    Libertytown -- The Frederick County Sheriff's Office received multiple calls involving the 2009 Reggae Festival at Linganore Winecellars-Berrywine Plantations Saturday and Sunday.

    The sheriff's office received complaints when traffic was bumper to bumper on Glissans Mill Road, said Cpl. Jennifer Bailey. Deputies cleared the traffic and only residents were allowed to go through at one point.

    "The roads aren't designed to handle that much traffic," she said.

    While there was security at the festival, a plan to control the large traffic flow was not in place, she said. The sheriff's office will be working with the county's permit office to make sure a plan is ready before next year's festival. Three people were charged with driving under the influence on Sunday and a man was charged with disorderly conducted after he refused to obey a deputy's commands Saturday, Bailey said. A purse and GPS were also stolen out of a vehicle.
