UPDATE: Darling Sentenced to 30 years behind Bars

41-year-old Dashaune Darling will spend the next thirty years behind bars.

The sentence handed down Thursday stems from a high-speed car chase through three Eastern Shore Counties. Wicomico County State’s Attorney Matt Maciarello says somehow no one was injured despite Darling ignoring all traffic regulations.

Once he was stopped, police found Darling in a bullet proof body armor vest along with a .40 caliber handgun, crack cocaine and cash in his car.

Darling was already convicted on drug charges in Delaware and has additional charges pending.

In Maryland, he’s facing first degree murder charges in Dorchester County which he will stand trial for in September.

Maciarello tells 47 ABC he agrees with the judge’s stiff sentence.

“He’s an armed career criminal were happy,” Maciarello says. “He’s out of the hair of our law enforcement officials not only here but in Kent County Delaware.”
