Lusby Woman Sentenced for Impaired Driving and Child Neglect

Lusby Woman Sentenced for Impaired Driving and Child Neglect

**Prince Frederick, MD** – Ronni Laine Davis, aged 34 and a resident of Lusby, was sentenced to eight years in prison at the Calvert County Circuit Court on March 3. Judge Mark S. Chandlee imposed the sentence, which includes 60 days of active incarceration followed by three years of supervised probation.

The charges arose from an incident on April 28 last year, when witnesses reported Davis driving erratically on MD Route 4 around 8:50 p.m. Her driving involved nearly hitting a guardrail and crossing into the median. Calvert County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene, noting signs of impairment and administering standard field sobriety tests, which Davis failed. At the time, she had four young children in the vehicle.

Davis was convicted of child neglect, possession of CDS (Oxycodone), and driving while impaired by drugs. Although it was her first offense related to impaired driving, the State prioritized a custodial sentence due to the presence of minors. Davis was handcuffed and taken directly to the Calvert County Detention Center to commence her sentence.
