On Thursday, deputies from the Talbot County Sheriff’s Office arrested Ellis Mitcham Newcomb, 18, of Easton for a fatal accident that took place in June.
According to the sheriff’s office, Newcomb is charged with motor vehicle manslaughter, causing the death of another by operation of a vehicle in a criminally negligent manner, homicide by motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, homicide by motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol per se, homicide by motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol, driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, driving a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol, and driving a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol per se.
These charges were the result of a fatal accident on June 17 on Island Creek Road near the intersection of Chloras Point Road. The accident resulted in the death of 18-year-old Darren Foxwell. Newcomb was not injured in the crash.
The Talbot County Sheriff’s Office Crash Reconstruction Unit, with the assistance of the Maryland State Police Crash Team, concluded Newcomb was operating a motor vehicle in excess of 100 miles per hour while under the influence of alcohol, the sheriff’s office said in a press release.
Newcomb turned himself into the Talbot County Sheriff’s Office and was transported to the Talbot County Central Booking facility for processing. Newcomb was held without bond pending a hearing before a Circuit Court Judge.
