Summary:

In March 2022, Kelsey Ann Anderson of Westminster, MD, was cited in Carroll County for a traffic-related offense that occurred just before midnight on March 11. Although the exact nature of the traffic citation is not detailed in this summary, it was part of a broader incident involving multiple related citations (five total). Officer Timmy Dellospedale of the Westminster Police Department issued the citations.

Rather than proceed with a regular District Court hearing, Anderson’s attorney, Leonard Shapiro, filed a demand for a jury trial—a legal right that escalates the matter to the Circuit Court, where more formal proceedings take place. The court granted the request, and the District Court case was closed and cancelled, pending further handling under the new Circuit Court case number.

The jury trial demand suggests the defense may contest the charges or seek a more favorable outcome than a standard citation ruling.

Plain-Language Summary

Kelsey Ann Anderson was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol in Westminster, Maryland, in March 2022. She pleaded not guilty, but the court agreed to place her on 18 months of supervised probation under a Probation Before Judgment (PBJ) ruling—meaning no conviction would be entered if she complied with probation.

In 2024, she was accused of violating her probation, missed a court date, and a warrant was issued. She was later brought to court, released on her own recognizance (no bail), and the violation was ultimately dismissed. The case ended on May 20, 2024, with her probation satisfactorily closed and no conviction entered.

On May 1, 2023, Kelsey Ann Anderson was pulled over on Littlestown Pike in Carroll County, Maryland, for negligent driving. She was driving a white 2000 Honda Civic and did not cause an accident or injury during the incident. The Maryland State Police issued her a citation for operating the vehicle carelessly.

Plain-Language Summary

On June 21, 2023, Kelsey Ann Anderson was stopped by a Baltimore County police officer on Route 140 near Mitchell Drive for misusing a historic vehicle. Her white 2000 Honda sedan, registered as a historic vehicle, was being used improperly for regular daily transportation, which is not allowed under Maryland law for historic tags.

She did not cause an accident, nor was anyone hurt. Initially, she failed to take timely action on the citation, leading to a license suspension in July. However, she resolved the matter by paying the fine and entered a guilty plea by prepayment on February 7, 2024. That same day, her license suspension was lifted, and the case was closed.
