Juvenile Court

15-year-old to be tried as an adult The case of a 15-year-old boy accused of forcing a youth home counselor into the trunk of the counselor's car and stealing the car in March was sent to adult court Wednesday during a juvenile court hearing. Dallas Edward Evans, of Baltimore, is charged with robbery, auto theft, felony theft, unauthorized motor vehicle use, second-degree assault, false imprisonment, and conspiracy charges related to the robbery and auto theft charges.

The case of a Hagerstown teenager charged with attempted murder will remain in adult court after Washington County Circuit Judge John H. McDowell on Tuesday denied a defense request to transfer it to juvenile court. Matthew David Smith, 18, of 321 N. Locust St. has been held without bond in the Washington County Detention Center since the Dec. 3 incident in which he is accused of repeatedly stabbing a man at the Arc of Washington County on Marshall Street, according to court records and the statement of probable cause filed by Hagerstown police.
