Dion Guthrie, former Harford County Council member, has filed a lawsuit against council president Patrick Vincenti for “illegally removing [him]” from office, according to an email from Dion Guthrie to The Baltimore Sun.

According to a filing with the Appellate Court of Maryland, Guthrie and Vincenti will meet to argue the case on Feb. 11, 2026.

Guthrie previously sued Vincenti in December 2024 as an attempt to return to the county council and restrain Vincenti from interfering with his performance of duties.

In 2024, Vincenti ordered Guthrie to be removed from the council following Guthrie’s charge with felony theft after he was accused of stealing up to $25,000 from the International Brotherhood of Electric Workers Local 1501 from October 2017 to September 2021. Guthrie pled no contest to the felony theft charge last year.
