Jermaine Parvell Mason, 40, of Prince Frederick, pleaded guilty to driving while impaired by alcohol as a subsequent offender following a crash in January that left the other driver with serious injuries.

On Friday, Jan. 7, while off-duty, Mason was driving his marked patrol vehicle when he crossed the center line on Dares Beach Road and collided with an oncoming vehicle, Calvert County State's Attorney Robert Harvey said.

The driver of the second vehicle was seriously injured, Harvey said, and shortly after the crash, Mason resigned from the sheriff’s office.

When he is sentenced on Wednesday, July 6, Mason will face up to a year of imprisonment and a potential $500 fine.
