Former Pocomoke City Police Chief Will Have Supervised Probation For Interfering With DUI Case

POCOMOKE CITY, Md. (WJZ) -- Former Pocomoke City Police Chief was sentenced to three years, with all suspended, Tuesday after he was convicted of misconduct in office.

Kevin Sewell interfered with a DUI investigation of a fellow mason, ordering a subordinate to document the incident as an accident when the driver had actually hit two parked cars after just driving four blocks. One car was totaled. The driver lost a tire and continued to drive home on three wheels.
