Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis sharply criticized those who did not accept the decision by the grand jury in Ferguson not to indict the white police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of black teenager Michael Brown. He said, told Delmarva Public Radio's Don Rush, that he believed Attorney General Eric Holder was inflaming passions surrounding the shooting and that the officer acted appropriately. He added, that he believed given Brown's behavior the outcome was inevitable and that the teenager "got what was coming to him that day."
