		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Amanda Bessicks, the newly-elected Cecil County State’s Attorney, is resigning her post as of 3/15/2019 due to health reasons, according to a letter sent to the county Circuit Court administrative judge.. Her resignation cuts short a promising career as the county’s chief prosecutor and a reform-minded leader for an office that has been mired in turmoil since her predecessor was charged and convicted in an indecent exposure/disorderly conduct case in 2017. And her decision to resign her position, so that a successor can be named quickly, reflects a level of character and public service that had been absent in the recent past history of the office. Former State’s Attorney Ellis (E.D.E.) Rollins continued to collect a salary and benefits for many months while he unsuccessfully fought, and appealed, the charges against him—while not actually performing the duties of the office. Taking a leave of absence to address her medical issues would have been an understandable, and fully appropriate, course of action while not actually surrendering the office and title. But her decision to step aside clears the path for the Circuit Court judges to name either an interim or permanent State’s Attorney to lead the office until the [&#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>
