		<description><![CDATA[   Separate assault cases against two Cecil County Sheriff&#8217;s Deputies have been dropped, according to court records. In addition, a civil suit filed by the deputies against Sheriff Barry Janney&#8211; challenging their assignments to  menial, non-law enforcement duties pending the outcome of their criminal cases&#8211; has been dismissed.    Gregory D. Passwaters,  of Earleville, a veteran deputy who was assigned to patrol southern Cecil County, was indicted by a grand jury  last summer on a charge of second-degree assault stemming from an off-duty incident last May. The investigation of the alleged incident, reportedly occurring at the Chesapeake Inn in Chesapeake City, was handled by State Police.    According to court documents, a &#8220;notice of dismissal&#8221; was filed in the case on February 8 and the state declined to prosecute further.  In a separate, unrelated case, an assault charge against another deputy, Thomas H. Pierson III, of Elkton, was dropped in December. That case allegedly involved an off-duty altercation with another deputy. Court files show the state declined to prosecute on Nov. 25 and a dismissal notice was filed December 4, 2009.    Passwaters and  Pierson filed a civil suit last August against Sheriff Janney, saying they had been assigned to the county parks department [&#8230;]]]></description>
