SALISBURY, Md.- Authorities say a 50-year-old man is behind bars following a drug raid on his Salisbury home that led to the seizure of a large amount of powder cocaine and crack cocaine.
The Wicomico County Sheriff's Office said that over the past several weeks, its Community Action Team conducted a drug investigation into Maurice Osborne selling controlled dangerous substances from the 28000 block of Brockhampton Court in Salisbury.
