Denton Police Chief George Bacorn was killed and another driver was injured in a head-on collision on Friday morning, in Easton.   According to the Maryland State Police, the delivery truck was traveling westbound on Dover Road near Dover Neck Road when it crossed the double yellow line. It sideswiped a Chevrolet Silverado before striking Chief Bacorn’s Chevrolet Tahoe head-on.  Dover Road was shut down for over three hours while the Maryland State Police Crash Team conducted their initial investigation.  The investigation is ongoing, and once finalized, the findings will be turned over to the Talbot County State’s Attorney’s Office to determine if criminal charges will be filed against the delivery truck driver.   The status of the delivery driver has not been released.   

On September 23rd, deputies from the Talbot County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man, later identified as Lermaine Monte Price, 45, of Denton who is now facing charges after an incident involving his bicycle.  Deputies said they saw Price allegedly commit several traffic violations while riding his bike, and when  police stopped to speak with him about what they had seen, he would not give deputies his name or any form of identification. He also would not tell them who he was after being asked directly.  Deputies placed Price under arrest. He was charged with obstructing police and failing to obey a lawful order.  Price was taken to the Talbot County Central Booking facility for processing. He had an initial appearance before a District Court Commissioner, and was released on his own recognizance following the hearing.
