In the aftermath of a hit-and-run in Prince George’s County, a Howard County law enforcement officer faces multiple charges, including driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to control speed to avoid a collision, and transporting a minor while driving under the influence. Corporal Corey Britton, 37, was allegedly driving on MD 202 near Watkins Park Drive in Upper Marlboro on Tuesday, October 6, when he struck a car from behind. The owner of the car said that he got out of his car temporarily, appeared to be unsteady on his feet, and then left the scene without waiting for police to arrive. The woman took pictures of both vehicles, allowing officials to identify Britton as owner of the other car.

A Maryland man has been sentenced to three years in prison after he struck a police officer with his car while driving under the influence of alcohol. Lennwood Saunders, 35, was driving a Chevy Tahoe on October 21, 2015, when he “felt something.” Shortly thereafter, he was pulled over by Montgomery County police officer Michael Murphy, who after asking for his license, informed Saunders that what he “felt” was his side-view mirror striking the officer in the rib cage. Murphy suffered a broken rib, but was able to run to his vehicle and chase Saunders down. Officials say the severity of the sentence stems from the fact that Saunders has multiple DUI convictions and the fact that he nearly killed the officer.
