Sisters Arrested in Pocomoke City Gas Station Stabbing

POCOMOKE CITY, Md. (AP) - State police say they've charged two sisters after a man was fatally stabbed while trying to break up a dispute at a Pocomoke City gas station.

Police announced that they arrested 22-year-old Kaneisha Johnson of Pocomoke City at a Hebron home late Monday and charged her with first- and second-degree murder.

Police say 25-year-old Derrick Collick was at a convenience store on Monday afternoon when a domestic dispute broke out at a gas pump between people he knew. When Collick tried to break up the dispute, police say he was stabbed.

Collick sought help at a medical facility nearby and was taken to a hospital, where he died.

Police have not detailed Johnson's role in the dispute.

Police say Johnson's 30-year-old sister, Latoya, was arrested at her Salisbury home and charged with assault and accessory after the fact of murder.
