The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“As a matter of Maryland law, the Sheriff and Deputy Sheriffs [of a Maryland County]' are officials and/or employees of the State of Maryland rather than of [the] County. The role of a sheriff as a State constitutional officer whose duties are subject to control by the General Assembly leads us to the conclusion that sheriffs are State rather than local government employees.”
