Worcester County Record DUI Prosecutions

Worcester County prosecutors have chocked up a record for having the highest conviction rate for driving under the influence.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the revelation came during a meeting of Maryland State’s Attorney’s Conference in Ocean City.

The paper reports that this was the fifth out of six years for Worcester County to be so distinguished.

The county had a 91 percent DUI conviction rate.

That’s above the state average of 78 percent.
