WICOMICO CO., Md. — The Wicomico County Council is addressing public inquiries regarding Councilman Shane Baker and recent legal proceedings related to two peace orders filed against him.
Officials confirmed that both cases have been dismissed by the court, which ruled they did not meet the criteria for a peace order and found “no statutory evidence for relief.” Council members acknowledged that the situation has raised questions about Baker’s position but stated there are no legal grounds requiring his resignation. They emphasized that the allegations did not involve any violations of the county charter. Additionally, the council suggested that Baker may have been “unfairly targeted due to his efforts to hold certain individuals accountable in his role as a public servant.”
