On Monday, July 1, 2019, the Pittsville Police Department received information that a subject named Cordon Hayes had been frequenting the Talbot Apartments and that he would be at that location later that same afternoon. The investigation revealed that Cordon Hayes was wanted on outstanding arrest warrants from Delaware and Maryland relating to Sex Offenses and Drug Possession. Hayes has been on the run from police for 12 years and was listed as an escape risk. The Pittsville Police Department contacted the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office and a 3 person team was quickly assembled. From a distant location law enforcement conducted surveillance and at approximately 2:00 p.m., Hayes was seen enter one of the apartments. As law enforcement made entry into the apartment, Hayes attempted to exit through a bedroom window. His effort was cut short by one of the deputies who was just outside the window. Hayes was taken into custody inside the apartment without incident.
