““In the instant case the crime charged was the corrupt offering of something of value to a Mt. Rainier, Maryland police officer to influence the performance of his official duties in Maryland. The false report was to be made concerning his business in Maryland. We think this case is akin to those involving the offense of obstruction of justice. The gravamen of the crime was the intended result in Maryland. Thus, in In re Special Investigation No. m, 54 Md.App. 137, 144, n. 1 , 458 A.2d 454 [, cert. denied, 296 Md. 414 ] (1983), Judge Moylan, writing for this Court, stated: United States v. Kibler, 667 F.2d 452 (4th Cir.1982), held that jurisdiction over an obstruction of justice case properly lay in the District of Maryland, although the threats upon a witness which represented the obstruction had occurred in the District of Columbia. The Court held, at 454, ‘[T]he situs of the crime is the place of the judicial proceeding that the accused sought to thwart.’ ” 57 Md.App. at 416-17 , 470 A.2d at 812 . 4”

It is clear to us that the duties sought to be affected by the bribe offer were to be performed in Prince George’s County, and we conclude, therefore, that the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County had jurisdiction over the offense. Id. at 417 , 470 A.2d at 812 .”
