BuzzBall Theft Call Leads To Assault Charge For Mechanicsville Man

WALDORF, Md. — A Mechanicsville man is facing theft, assault and disorderly conduct charges after he fled a liquor store with a BuzzBall, disrupted business and later kicked a correctional officer while being processed at the Charles County Detention Center, according to charging documents.

Cameron Briley Nolan, 35, of Mechanicsville, was charged with theft less than $100, second-degree assault, intoxicated public disturbance and disorderly conduct.

An officer responded on May 5, 2026, to Holiday Liquors on Leonardtown Road in Waldorf for a reported theft in progress. When the officer arrived, Nolan was running in the parking lot without a shirt while carrying a large purple BuzzBall.

As the officer parked, Nolan allegedly ran inside the business through the back entrance. The officer entered through the front and found Nolan sitting on the floor with an open BuzzBall at his feet, according to charging documents.

Police said an employee pointed at Nolan and said Nolan had tried to strike him with the BuzzBall, but the employee was able to run away.

Before police arrived, Nolan allegedly passed all points of sale and fled the business with the BuzzBall, which was valued at $22.99, according to the report.

The officer wrote that Nolan had alcohol spilled on him, believed to be from consuming the open BuzzBall while running in the parking lot. Police said the store was unable to resume normal business because of Nolan’s behavior inside and around the business.

While being transported to the Charles County Detention Center, Nolan allegedly made multiple threats and said he was going to assault someone as soon as the handcuffs were removed, according to charging documents.

Police said that while Nolan was being placed on a bench at the detention center, he made another comment and kicked a correctional officer in the mid-left thigh.

Nolan was later released on his own recognizance.

A hearing is set for June 30, 2026, at Charles District Court.

Under Maryland law, the listed charges carry up to 10 years and 240 days of incarceration and up to $3,600 in fines if Nolan is convicted and sentenced to the maximum consecutive terms.
