		<description><![CDATA[The Office of the State Prosecutor (OSP) has filed five criminal charges against the former deputy director of the Cecil County Board of Elections for perjury, misconduct in office and allegedly falsifying required documents for the candidacy of Danielle Hornberger in her 2020 County Executive campaign. The prosecutor cited Hornberger’s candidacy and finance report irregularities but no charges were filed against her. Lora Walters, 57, of North East, the former deputy director of the Cecil County Board of Elections, was charged with five misdemeanor counts stemming from her role in the handling of financial disclosure statements filed by Danielle Hornberger in her candidacy in the Republican primary for County Executive. The existence of an OSP investigation was disclosed in the county Circuit Court during trial of a civil case filed last year by former Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy, a Republican, who challenged the legitimacy of Hornberger’s candidacy due to false document filings in her campaign. The most serious charge filed against Walters—perjury, with a possible ten-year prison term&#8211; stems from her testimony in that civil court case, in which she denied falsifying the financial disclosure records for Hornberger. The charges against Walters were filed in Cecil County Circuit Court [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES Special Report Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy has filed a lawsuit seeking to invalidate the results of the June Republican primary, saying that his winning rival, Danielle Hornberger, failed to qualify for the ballot and that some documents were falsified and backdated to cover up a “conspiracy” to violate the law. He is also seeking a temporary restraining order and an injunction to keep Hornberger’s name off the November general election ballot. It was a bold move by McCarthy, who suffered a stunning re-election defeat in the primary to Hornberger, who garnered more than 60 percent of the vote in a four-candidate GOP contest. Hornberger, who has never held any elective office or substantive full-time job, is the wife of Del. Kevin Hornberger (R-35) and has worked as a part-time district representative for US Rep. Andy Harris (R-1), who helped bankroll both Hornbergers’ political campaigns. But documents included as exhibits in the lawsuit which was filed in Cecil County Circuit Court on Saturday 7/25/2020, as well as materials obtained separately by CECIL TIMES under a Public Information Act request, show an effort to file potentially false financial disclosure documents on behalf of, or by, Mrs. Hornberger.

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County State’s Attorney Edward D. “Ellis” Rollins was charged on Monday with four misdemeanor offenses—two counts of indecent exposure and two counts of disorderly conduct—stemming from his arrest last week in Ocean City, after local police responded to citizen complaints of a naked man on a hotel balcony. “Indecent exposure” is a misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum of three years in prison and/or a fine of up to $1,000. In addition, “disorderly conduct” is a misdemeanor, punishable by a sentence of 60 days in jail and/or a $500 fine. Conviction on all four counts could result in a total of six years and 120 days in prison and fines up to $3,000. Rollins, who is in his second term as the elected State’s Attorney for Cecil County, was personally notified by Worcester County State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby, sources said. Rollins will have 30 days to appear in court to respond to the charges. On Wednesday, 6/22/2016, at about 4 p.m., “officers responded to the Clarion Hotel for a report of a nude male on a balcony. Officers located the room in question and ultimately took Edward D. Rollins, III of North East, MD,” into custody, Ocean City police said [&#8230;]]]></description>
