12536 Torquay Road Ocean City, MD 21842 $399,900 Second man convicted for OC assault case from 2021

(Nov. 11, 2022) Stas UrbanskiHughes, 20, of Frankford, Delaware, on Oct. 28, was the second of two codefendants to be sentenced for his convictions on two counts of first-degree assault and two counts of reckless endangerment. Urbanski-Hughes pleaded guilty to the charges on Jan. 5. Judge Brian D. Shockley of the Worcester County Circuit Court sentenced Urbanski-Hughes to serve 35 years in the Division of Corrections and suspended all but 13 years of the sentence, placing Urbanski-Hughes on three years of supervised probation upon his release.

The charges arose out of a May 28, 2021 incident, when Ocean City Police Department officers responded to Ocean City Fire Department Station 4 in reference to multiple stabbings.

Police identified three victims suffering from multiple stab wounds and lacerations to the face, torso and

chest. They were initially treated by Ocean City EMS and then flown out by helicopter for medical interventions at local hospitals. After getting a description of one of two suspects involved, officers stopped a vehicle in the area of 136th Street and saw dried blood on the driver, who was identified as Urbanski-Hughes. A fourth victim with slash wounds on his arm was located in the area along with another witness who idenStas Hughes tified Urbanski-Hughes as the assailant and the passenger, Brandon Messick, as having participated in the assault. Both were placed under arrest. Messick pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree assault in March and was sentenced to serve 14 years in the Division of Corrections with all but three years suspended and placed on 8 years of supervised probation upon release. Worcester County State’s Attorney Kris Heiser commended Assistant State’s Attorney Jared Monteiro who prosecuted the case.
