ELKTON — A teen accused of pointing a handgun at a woman and threatening to shoot her outside of her residence in an Elkton neighborhood has been sentenced to time served — about five months — after accepting a plea deal, according to Cecil County Circuit Court records. During a courtroom hearing on Thursday, Cecil County Circuit Court Judge William W. Davis Jr.
imposed a five-year sentence on the defendant — Elkton resident Daijoun A. Sconion, who turns 19 on Aug. 28 — for possession of a firearm and then suspended all but the five months that Sconion had served as a pre-trial inmate in the Cecil County Detention Center after his March 7 arrest, court records show.
The judge imposed the same sentence on Sconion for loaded handgun on a person and made that penalty concurrent to the other one, according to court records. In addition, the judge ordered Sconion to serve two years of supervised probation and to forfeit the firearm that was seized after the incident, court records show. Sconion pleaded guilty to those two criminal charges on Thursday as part of a plea deal reached by Assistant State’s Attorney Robert Sentman and Sconion’s lawyer, Assistant Public Defender Jason Ricke, according to court records.
In exchange for Sconion’s guilty pleas, prosecutors dismissed eight related charges, including first-degree assault, reckless endangerment and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony or a crime of violence, court records show. The investigation leadi.
