Jermaine Parvell Mason, 40, of Prince Frederick, pleaded guilty last month to driving while impaired by alcohol as a subsequent offender following a crash in January that left the other driver with serious injuries.
On Wednesday, July 6, Calvert County State's Attorney Robert Harvey announced that Mason was sentenced to one year, suspended down to 90 days incarceration, followed by three years of unsupervised probation for the offense.
In imposing the sentence, Judge Robert N. Wilcox, of the District Court of Maryland, noted that it was Mason’s third alcohol-related incident and that it involved an accident.
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, prosecutors said.
The driver of the second vehicle was seriously injured, Harvey said, and shortly after the crash, Mason resigned from the sheriff’s office.
