Loitering not a crime in Frederick city court ruling
Frederick district court Judge Stanley Bennett ruled Albert Blank may not be convicted for loitering since the city code does not declare loitering a crime. The decision follows an earlier hearing and may prompt the mayor and aldermen to consider changing the wording. Separate cases included Diane Funk’s six months probation with no contact order and Shirley Harding being found not guilty of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
