Man found not guilty of disorderly conduct
A Frederick man was found innocent in Frederick County District Court on Friday after a civilian testimony was not presented. Michael R. Seals, 29, faced a disorderly conduct charge from an incident on North Market Street last April 1. The state read its facts into the record and noted a private-sector witness would have been required for conviction. Judge Mary Ann Stepler acquitted him.
