Scott Sanzone - First DUI, Now MIA

Scott Sanzone, the Sykesville Councilman who was found guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol was sentenced to one year of probation by the Carroll County District Court. If I'm not mistaken, probation is the harshest sentence allowed for a politician - especially when he is being prosecuted by a bunch of attorneys who hope to be politicians one day. I think it's called a professional courtesy.

Anyway, the Carroll County Times is reporting that Scott Sanzone hasn't attended a Sykesville Town Council meeting for four consecutive meetings since the October 19th incident.

In the words of the Ming-Ming the duck on the Wonder Pets, "This is sewious! We need to find Scott Sanzone. I want to organize the blogsphere and we'll create a search party. We must find him so that he can report to the next meeting!

Group one - you go check the bar at Beck's in downtown Sykesville. Group two - you check that new pub called County Cork Wine Pub. Group three - you check at the bar on the second floor of the Harvest Inn.

Scott Sanzone Charged with DUI

I'll be catching up on a lot of stories. I like to point out politicians who get in trouble with the law. Since they write the laws, I never want them to think that they are above it. However, that doesn't always seem to be the case. There are plenty of politicians who have broken the law, but seem to have the right connections and plenty of money to get out of trouble (e.g. Kumar Barve).

In October, Sykesville Town Councilman Scott Sanzone was arrested for Driving Under the Influence. According to the Carroll County Times, Sanzone was arrested by a Maryland State Police officer near Jeroby and Village Roads in the town of Sykesville.

I hope that Councilman Sanzone doesn't morph into the likes of former Baltimore County Councilman Sam Moxley who has had at least two run-ins with the law over drinking and driving.
