Hanley Trial on Theft Charge Scheduled for November

The trial for Bel Air Commissioner Terence Hanley on charge of theft is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Nov. 2 in courtroom one at the Cecil County District Court, according to court records.

Hanley, who is nearing the end of his second four-year term as one of  five , is  from his former employer, Ramsey Ford in Elkton. He has been charged with one count of theft between $1,000 and $10,000.

Hanley, who was summoned Monday, previously had an arraignment  scheduled for Oct. 11, but it was canceled when he hired a lawyer.

Elkton attorney H. Norman Wilson Jr., who represents Hanley, had not returned a message left Thursday afternoon at his office seeking comment.

After , the only one since Patch first reported the charge, , “I’d love to be able to talk, but I can’t."

He also declined comment  in November. Voting is scheduled for six days after the scheduled trial.
