Lusby Man Charged With DUI, Drug Distribution After Solomons Suspicious-Vehicle Call

SOLOMONS, Md. — A Lusby man has been charged after investigators alleged a suspicious-vehicle call in Solomons led to impaired-driving charges and the discovery of suspected psilocybin, suspected cocaine, cash and drug paraphernalia.

Christopher William Walls, 36, of Lusby, is charged with possession with intent to distribute PCP, LSD or hallucinogens, distribution of narcotics, two counts of possession of a controlled dangerous substance that was not cannabis, three counts of possession of CDS paraphernalia, driving under the influence of alcohol, driving while impaired by a controlled dangerous substance, driving while impaired by alcohol, reckless driving, negligent driving and driving contrary to highway direction requirements, according to charging documents.

The case stems from a May 26, 2026, report of a suspicious vehicle at Solomons Car Wash on Solomons Island Road. According to the statement of probable cause, a Calvert County sheriff’s deputy responded around 6:10 a.m. and observed a silver Toyota 4Runner parked behind the business.

A person who contacted police reported that the driver had passed out in the driver’s seat while the vehicle was running. Charging documents also note discarded bloody napkins near the driver’s-side door.

Deputies identified the driver as Walls. According to charging documents, Walls advised that he had been with friends at Buckets Sports Bar in Lusby the night before and did not remember where his passengers went.

The deputy documented that Walls had slurred speech, red and bloodshot eyes, disheveled clothing and a moderate odor of an alcoholic beverage. Deputies also noted suspected blood beneath his right nostril.

Walls participated in standardized field sobriety testing, and the deputy documented multiple indicators of impairment. The report notes that Walls later declined an Intox EC/IR breath test after being read Maryland’s Advice of Rights.

A search incident to arrest led deputies to multiple large plastic bags containing suspected psilocybin, according to charging documents. The report listed approximately 470 grams of suspected psilocybin with packaging.

Deputies also reported finding suspected cocaine inside cigarette cartons, including two clear plastic baggies containing 1.7 grams and 1.43 grams of a white powdery substance, a one-dollar bill containing 1.45 grams of suspected cocaine and additional white powdery residue. The total suspected cocaine amount listed in the charging documents was 4.58 grams.

Investigators also seized $632 in U.S. currency, a cellphone, keys, a cut plastic straw with white powdery residue, two black electric scales with white powdery residue, plastic cups, more than 1,700 small sealable bags and cigarette cartons, according to charging documents.

The deputy wrote that, based on training and experience, the quantity of suspected psilocybin and suspected cocaine, along with the packaging and paraphernalia, was not consistent with personal use.

After being advised of his Miranda rights, Walls acknowledged working for a dispensary in Washington, D.C., and told deputies the white powder was cocaine, according to charging documents. The report also alleges Walls acknowledged having the suspected mushrooms and using a small amount before consuming alcoholic beverages.

Walls was transported to the Calvert County Detention Center. Court records show he was initially held without bond on May 26, 2026. A bail review hearing before Judge Michelle R. Saunders was held the next day. Judge Saunders ordered Walls held without bond.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 25, 2026, at Calvert District Court in Prince Frederick.
