Md. state trooper wrote fake DUIs -- everything made up
Md. state trooper wrote fake DUIs — everything made up

A Maryland state trooper assigned to a law enforcement program focused on reducing alcohol-related crashes pleaded guilty to charges of making up six DUI arrests.
Cpl. John Sollon, 36, pleaded guilty to charges of perjury and misconduct in office in Baltimore County on Thursday, according to Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh.
Sollon was sentenced to six years in prison, all suspended, three years of supervised probation, and a fine of $6,000, the attorney general’s office said in a news release.
The corporal also must perform 300 hours of community service, as a condition of his probation.

Sollon fabricated at least six cases with dreamed-up names and details over the past two years, according to prosecutors.
In each case, no actual traffic stop was conducted, nobody was arrested and the person purportedly stopped did not exist.
