December 3rd, 2009 by Kenneth Burns

Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon wasn’t the only Democrat to be convicted in court this week.  Annapolis Alderman Samuel Shropshire (D-Ward 7) was convicted after a one-day bench trial for groping a Naval Academy midshipmen.

The Capital says that Shropshire was found guilty by Judge Paul F. Harris Jr. of second-degree assault and fourth-degree sex offense and will be sentenced in February.  Shropshire, 61, will be leaving office next week after he decided to run for mayor in the primary.  He came in last place with just nine votes.
