Wicomico County State’s Attorney Pleads Guilty to Maryland DUI

Davis Ruark arrested for drunk driving in Ocean City last February.

Davis Ruark plead guilty to MD DUI in Worcester County District Court on Monday. Ruark, the State’s Attorney for Wicomico County, was stopped last February for driving erratically. His blood alcohol content registered .15% and he was charged with drunk driving in Ocean City. After his arrest, Ruark, 52, took a paid leave, entered rehabilitation and later returned to his position part time.

The judge sentenced Ruark to one year unsupervised probation. A twelve point penalty was charged to Ruark’s driver’s license for driving under the influence in Maryland. The prosecutor did not file charges for having a loaded handgun in the county issued vehicle, though Ruark did surrender his gun permit for one year.

The judge warned Ruark that everyone will know if he ‘messes up’ again.
