From the Harford County Sheriff’s Office:
[March 12, 2015, Bel Air, MD] Members of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Warrant Unit arrested multiple suspects at locations throughout Harford County recently as part of Sheriff Jeffrey R. Gahler’s ongoing commitment to fighting the threat of heroin in our communities.
Spencer Tyler Panuska, 21, of Bel Air, Richard O’Neal Lindsey, 30, of Aberdeen, Abbe Ismail Aina, 22, of Aberdeen and Phillip Anthony Mach, 29, of Edgewood, were each indicted by a Grand Jury in Harford County after investigations into heroin distribution conducted by the Harford County Narcotics Task Force. Charges were for the distribution of heroin, conspiracy to distribute heroin, possession with the intent to distribute heroin, and possession of heroin.
Panuska, Lindsey and Mack were arrested without incident and taken before a Harford County Court Commissioner. Lindsey and Mack have been released after posting a $50,000 bail. Panuska is being held on $50,000 bond. The Warrant Unit continues to search for Aina whose last known address is 31 Roosevelt Avenue, Apartment F1, Aberdeen, Maryland. Anyone with information on Aina’s whereabouts is asked to call 410-836-6600.
If you want to join the fight against heroin and you have information about heroin use or distribution in Harford County, call the Harford County Narcotics Task Force Tipline at 410-836-7788. All tips are anonymous.
none says
Everyone of them should be charged with murder and hung.
John says
Why? They’re not forcing people to do the drug. They just provide it which is wrong because it’s a terrible drug but again they force no one to do anything. People make their own choices and if they choose to do heroin and stick themselves daily which is disgusting in my opinion than that’s their choice they make for themselves and they will always find a way to get the drug until they get help themselves.
Sincerely,
A young educated man familiar with how drugs affect people
Carmine R. says
Psst, it’s hanged, not hung.
amber says
Hahaha you’re not educated.. it is HUNG not hanged you hang or you hung.. “people in the 80`s were hung.”
amber says
Hanged correction
*** auto correct doesn’t even know… hanged by a rope or object to kill someone . Hung means to hang an object in the closet..
Jim says
HA HA Amber, The educated young man did not use either word in his reply. Can you read, dear?
Arturro Nasney says
I guess I should have sold smack. I would have loved to be hung!
Tim says
Nah bro that’s not cool Phillip is my uncle my dads brother I saw him like 5 days ago I believe he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time
thug passion says
Phil is good ppls n i believe he was at the wrong , wrong time i have known him for awhile
C.Milton says
About time they got that piece of trash Spencer Punuska. He’s a worthless member of society keep him locked up as long as you can.
Soul Crusher 2 says
You are kidding, right?
This is the State of Maryland Courts System here – not Texas. No matter what the maximum / minimum is, a deal will be cut.
2 years, out in 6 months…he violates parole within 3 weeks. Never heard from again.
anonymous says
Shut the fuck up. He never forces anyone to shove a needle in their arm the people who bought it made the decision on their own. This shit makes me so mad. C milton is full of drug addicts and junkies Many of which reposted this article.
Brad Bennett says
Glad to see this but does Gahler have to have his name on everything? Did he do the investigation and break down the doors? I am glad they did their job and got these guys but…it is their job. Now go get more of them and keep them off the street
SoulCrusher says
Keeping them off the street is Cassily’s job. Which we all know from the past, is NOT gonna happen. His office consistently lets people out that are dangerous to the public, yet he will throw a person growing weed for themselves in jail and ruin them for life. That’s what Cassilly is all about. Taking good people and destroying them, while letting robbers, thieves, batterers and HARD CORE drug dealers back out to terrorize the public he has sworn to serve. Joe, you are a Harford County’s worst frenemy……
Soul Crusher 2 says
Agree with Soul Crusher – except the whole “growing weed for your own use” part. The history of letting repeat / violent / thugs / D-Bags back onto the streets is not unique to Harford County, it seems to be a Maryland thing.
However, regarding Brad’s comment about Gahler having his name on “everything”.
Politics – simple as that. People are not going to notice if you say, “Deputy Smith and Deputy Toughlove did this…”. Instead, if you put out the press release with a recognizable name, it reassures the majority that voted him into office that he is holding his promises made during the campaign.
Kinda like when our dimwitted president stood there with a smirk on his face and claimed that “he” got Bin Laden. Yeah, because he went through all of the training, took direct fire, and flew on a crowded chopper for hours.
SoulCrusher says
You should stop using my Screen Name. You are either with me or an enemy. That’s the way it is on this topic……
Soul Crusher 2 says
Christ, you sure drive a hard bargain.
I’m withchou, bro
Gahler for President says
Because he gets credit for the bad and certainly deserves credit for the good that is occurring. Just like this.
Ps. Bane lost.
Farmboy says
Joe cassilly is only part of the prosecution. The judges and parole system are the ones that turn these scumbags back out on the streets. I think soulcrusher may have had more than a few run-ins with mr cassilly.
SoulCrusher says
No just ONE. His office, along with the MAD OVERLORD, William Carr, forced me to take a conviction on a completely illegal search. Cassilly consistently lets dangerous people out to harm the public again. Now, if you want to start this up, I refer you to Harford County Case 12K09002034. This is where the SoulCrusher was forced to lose everything, both illegally and unconstitutionally, to your corrupt court system. I have absolutely NO RESPECT or REGARD for the corrupt Harford County Circuit Court, especially for your new Administrative CLOWN Eaves, that only got the job because of her ties to the Maryland Attorney General’s Office. She was part of MY convictions that were totally illegal and unconstitutional, by having me held without bond until I could be forced to take an ALFORD plea. And by the way, whenever you see an ALFORD plea in Harford County, it was a forced conviction by Cassily’s corrupt office. Don’t like it then don’t read it, but the TRUTH is what the SoulCrusher types……..
nosy neighbor says
I’ll bite. I don’t see where you were held without bail until you were forced to take an Alford Plea. I see where they set a $25,000 bail. You may not have been able to post, but that isn’t being held without bail….
Seems to me your issue should be with your attorney, not the prosecution or the Judge.
Cdev says
When you dig further his bond was revoked for intimedating witnesses and he also had a prior CDS history before he moved here!
nosy neighbor says
Ah. Different case. Makes sense now.
Still think he is blaming the wrong people — his blame should be on his attorney and himself. The prosecutor and the court can’t force you to enter a specific plea…
SoulCrusher says
The witness you refer to was the liar Detective Sean Marston. He got another liar named Scott Yosua to take two unrelated comments and merge portions of both to make it seem like a threat. Complete and utter evidence tampering. The past conviction was from 1995, that’s 15 years in the past and 13 of them serving your corrupt court system. Oh and by the way, Sean Marston and his stooges threatened me for 3 months before I finally blew up, using Confidential Informants to deliver threats to me right at my residence. I even have one of his text message threats saved on hard copy, but no one wanted to see it. Believe what you want, but the Crusher of Souls tells it like it is…….
SoulCrusher says
Just to set the record straight, the Harford County Circuit Court, would not allow me to have a suppression hearing to prove my innocence by way of an illegal search, even though it was requested. Yes, the prosecution and the Judges, covered all this up and I forgive no one. The RECKONING has already begun, you just can’t see it yet, but you will……If I was a lying like Marston, they would have dismissed my CORAM NOBIS without a hearing. I got my hearing and poor Judge Bowen has to make a ruling very soon. I feel sorry for her. She either has to break the law and both constitutions of Maryland and the United States by protecting the corrupt Judges of the past or side with the Crusher. Its just that simple. Carr has exclusive rights to my case until April 15th, 2015 because of my corrupt attorney’s motion for reconsideration filed with Boss HOGG. After that, its “Hello Shirley”, the Crusher will not give an inch because I CAN NOT ALLOW your heinous Judicial system to do to others like what they did to me. I owe it to every individual in Harford County to shove this straight down their throats……because they are corrupt……..
Aaron Cahall says
Stay on topic.
SoulCrusher says
You aren’t right Cahill. That was proof in the pudding……….you deleted it…….
AppliedTactical says
BOOM.
SoulCrusher says
Applied Tactical, you are just another pig providing more ammo for the Crusher of Souls. You should keep your mouth shut, I’ve got a lot of info regarding TASK FORCE MEMBERS breaking the law on a daily basis. I’ve kept my mouth shut because I really have no problem with Sheriff Gahler. Keep it up and screw it, remember I have nothing to lose……..
AppliedTactical says
Dude, you really need to lighten up. Perhaps smoke some of that Devil’s Lettuce that you have been growing for “personal use”, sit back and chill…and stop making idle threats (a) against people you don’t know, (b) on an anonymous social media site.
I am not sure where you got that I am Law Enforcement, or even in some way associated with the Harford County Sheriff’s Department – or their supposed ‘TASK FORCE’. Military and Law Enforcement are not one in the same, in fact there are rules and laws against using the military for law enforcement purposes.
The “BOOM” was in response to your original post made at 0841 am.
Also, he probably deleted the post because it contained a link to access your personal files on a Drive account – who knows what you could have setup for someone who clicked on that link? Then again, he could very well have a GOD complex because he is allowed to censor based on “going off topic”….BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
SoulCrusher says
Please identify the threat, Gomer………or whatever imaginary threat you perceive.
SoulCrusher says
Oh, you mean releasing more info on the HCSO. Yeah, I’m sure that got you real scared. Like that is gonna hurt you, after all your military, right?
AppliedTactical says
Not a threat, just your overall language about keeping my mouth shut and you having “ammo” against the Task Force, as if I would feel threatened because you have “ammo”? If you have reference to officials breaking the law, then by all means – go forth and spill the beans!
Not scared about information coming out – rather HOPING that if said information did, in fact, get released…the Dagger would print it. Need some good topics – the stuff lately has been pretty boring.
Green – that is my color. Not blue, not black, not white…green. Not gonna hurt me unless some massive payout has to go to victims of crime and the County has to raise taxes to cover their loss? Could happen, right?
SoulCrusher says
“Ammo” against the Task Force? Man, you are on better drugs than I. Maybe I should’ve said adding fuel to the fire? I think you have been taking lessons from Scott Yosua on how to rearrange a persons comments into a threat. If you are not already in Law Enforcement, please consider joining it soon. You definitely have the imagination for it………
AppliedTactical says
Okay, I minced words / mixed then up… whatever. Man, you are one wired conspiracy theorist.
I apologize for mixing up the statement you made about “providing more ammo for the Crusher of Souls.” When in reality, what you had really said was that “got a lot of info” regarding TASK FORCE MEMBERS.
Info / ammo -same thing when taken in context. No, not the actual ammo – not bullets or munitions…information.
No thanks to a career in law enforcement. While the job seems exciting and fun, they are way underpaid for the risks they take (kinda like the military). No, I’ll maintain the high six-figure salary that a civilian military contractor can demand using all of my nasty military training…working in far off remote lands for 90 days at a time and racking up some serious airline miles. Food sucks, but the wallet is fat.
SoulCrusher says
Cool, I have just been messing with you anyway.
AppliedTactical says
…and it has been fun! Isn’t that what these message boards are for?
Krystal says
The same kid involved in this fight in 2009

The kids is obviously, a bada55
gitrdone says
Raise the bond …2 posted $50,000…hmmm…wonder where that $$$ came from??? Thugs!! Can’t make an honest dollar..look at the one smiling..he is laughing cause he will go out and do it again! Posted bail and smiling all the way to making more money on the streets…illegal and deathly!
SoulCrusher says
He’s already out……
Craig says
I think some of you drunk drivers are more dangerous then these kids
LOL says
I would say its unbelievable these kids parents bailed them out, but no doubt,l after their trial is over, and whatever small sentencing they serve… These criminals will be at it again, because that’s all they know and have nothing to lose.
*** you all says
really Krystal? he was 15-16 years old back then? you act like you never been in a fight. who cares. it’s sickening about you people. these article’s aren’t even what really happened. Shame on all you people, sharing and commenting. grow up. 90% of *** these days are all fake and lies. but that’s right because you all act like you are better than everyone. spencer wasn’t even a drug dealer, lol. he never got indicted, and there never has been a grand jury or court yet. *** all you people. every single one of you. no one is perfect in this world. and it’s messed up that the people sharing this post, I have seen you before and you guys aren’t as innocent as you think you are and are just like him. smdh. and for these sites, get the *** truth before writing lies.
PatheticPanuska#1Fan says
Oh please, defending Spencer is like pissing in the wind! He does not appreciate it and he will not change, hence his current situation. I have known him for years and this kid can get away with murder and his parents blow hot air and off he goes to continue his bull crap. Yeah he is a dealer just a lousy one, maybe that is why so many people rolled on him! Last year his home is raided and he thinks its a joke bragging to me and our group about it. Like wow really? I would of been homeless after that. He deals for his habit which is pretty bad in its self, and its sad. Spencer is a nice guy when he is not fucked up and he is smart but he wastes it all. So now the police have to do what the parents failed to and get his ass under control or invite him to his new home behind bars. Your right about the fight though I was there that day and remember it, the kid got what was coming to him because he kept goading Spencer. However, this time, he fucked up constantly and refused to change, chance after chance so now he is laying in the bed he made, hope he enjoys it. He can thank part of it on his phony mother and his alcoholic father. Then there is his skanky sister who everyone gets a turn with, she is a pathetic mother, the parents raise her kid let’s pray his outcome is better then his delinquent uncle and mother. Being friends with him does no good he will use you and bring you down. I got my shit together I am in my early 20’s so he can do it too, he just has no desire to change…..YET.
Cdev says
According to court records he has been indicted and he clearly has not had any consequences except a fine. He is a menace and people called it back than that his parents clearly are clueless!
Herion in Harford~ says
Wake up Harford County~ It is here. Good job task force.but our kids can easily get whatever they want in Baltimore County.
Not once, but twice I saw police and medics responding to OD’s at the Hickory WAWA . Prayers sent out to the kids ~ They have no idea what they are getting into.
AppliedTactical says
Is that the WAWA where all of the kids / grown men pull in with their pick-em-up trucks, wearing ropers and belt buckles, and hang out eating off of the trash cans? That one?
Nice…
SoulCrusher says
Regardless of the past, the current Harford County Task Force is definitely serving the BEST INTERESTS of the public in their Initiative to curb the use of Heroin and Opiates in Harford County. Any time opiates or any of its derivatives are removed from the street its a good thing. A very good thing. They deserve your support in their efforts to stop this menacing epidemic that is destroying yet another generation of Harford County’s Youth. I know no one ever thought they’d see it but, GOOD JOB HARFORD COUNTY TASK FORCE…..
Concerned Teacher says
I can say without a doubt that Abbe Aina was the scariest 15 year old I ever came across. I hope he is caught and goes to jail for a few hundred years. I would sleep better at night.
Hmmmm says
I know phillip too. He could have been in the wrong place at wrong time but one thing is for sure is dude is a certified bum. He does not work and never really has. He lives at home with him mom with no career or life goals like the rest of the bums and scum in Harford county. He claims to take care of his kids but how do you do that living with your mom and no job? He always looks lile that mug shot. Like he just rolled out of bed not a care in the world for his apperance. Two of his close frienda arw serving life sentences and i guess it was only a matter of time before he got caught up as well. He is not innocent and has a shady past. He is a good person. Nice. But i think he suffers from depression and obviously lacks ambition which always turned me off to him. How did he get out? Well it is tax season. Maybe his baby mother helped or like some suggested his mom. They both probably came up with it as a family. He is loved. He just hangs around crimminals and well birds of a feather flock together.
