Wicomico landfill trial to be moved out of county

SALISBURY, Md. - The trial of former Wicomico County landfill superintendent Kenneth Townsend will be moved outside the county. Prosecutors say the case will be moved to a yet-to-be-determined jurisdiction.

Townsend is one of five people indicted in May in the alleged theft of about $450,000 worth of diesel fuel, tires and other supplies from the landfill.

Others charged include former landfill official Paul Tomaszewski, area contractor Ray Lewis, Benjamin Merritt and suspended landfill employee George Ennis.

All five are charged with one count of theft scheme and four counts of conspiracy to commit theft scheme. Townsend and Tomaszewski were fired in February.
