		<description><![CDATA[COMMENTARY Cecil County State’s Attorney Edward D.E. “Ellis” Rollins III was sentenced to probation, a fine, community service and a mandatory psychological evaluation on Tuesday (2/14/2017) for his conviction on charges of indecent exposure and disorderly conduct in a sex-related case. But Cecil County taxpayers have yet to get justice for the salary and benefits costs they paid for months while Rollins was focused on his own personal legal problems instead of prosecuting criminals on behalf of local citizens. Rollins appeared Tuesday morning in Worcester County Circuit Court, where Judge Brian Shockley imposed a 90-day suspended sentence for indecent exposure and a 60-day suspended sentence for disorderly conduct. The local prosecutor, Beau H. Oglesby, had requested six months jail time but the judge disagreed. Oglesby had initially ordered Rollins released without charges last June but, after a local blog reported on the incidents at an Ocean City hotel, and further investigation by local police, charges were filed several days later. Indecent exposure is a misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum of three years in prison and/or a fine of up to $1,000. Disorderly conduct” is a misdemeanor, punishable by a sentence of 60 days in jail and/or a $500 fine. Rollins [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Edward D.E. “Ellis” Rollins III has resigned as Cecil County State’s Attorney, after clinging to his job and its nearly $150,000 taxpayer-paid salary and benefits for months after he was charged with indecent exposure and disorderly conduct stemming from alleged sex-related incidents in Ocean City. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Tuesday 2/14/2017 in Worcester County Circuit Court for his 12/9/2016 conviction on two charges after a two-day jury trial. He was found not guilty on two other counts, one each of indecent exposure and disorderly conduct. For the two charges on which Rollins was convicted, “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 Since charges were filed against him last June, Rollins has not appeared in local courtrooms to prosecute cases, leaving the already thinly-staffed office short-handed. Rollins was said to be working on administrative matters in his office, but multiple sources told Cecil Times that Rollins was essentially AWOL, and there were even times that papers needing signature had to be brought to him [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County State’s Attorney Edward D.E “Ellis” Rollins III was convicted of indecent exposure and disorderly conduct on Friday 12/9/16 in Worcester County Circuit Court, stemming from nudity and sex acts observed while he was at an Ocean City hotel during a taxpayer-financed visit to a state legal conference. But the next steps in the legal process—and whether, or for how long, Rollins can hang on to his job&#8211; are unclear. The salacious details of the incidents are perhaps less significant than the practical problems Rollins’ situation has caused in Cecil County and the image and credibility issues his sex case has raised for the county statewide, nationally and even internationally, as the matter received widespread media exposure. Since his arrest and subsequent filing of criminal charges against him in June, taxpayers have still been paying him his regular salary—even as he has voluntarily recused himself from appearing in local Circuit Courts to prosecute cases and confined himself to unspecified “administrative” duties. As a result, the local office has been down one prosecutor to handle the many criminal cases clogging the court calendar while Rollins pulled in a regular salary and benefits.
