Calvert County Sheriff’s Office DFC J. Norton on June 6 observed a vehicle partially in the woods with the engine running in the 2200 block of Adelina Road in Prince Frederick. Norton saw a male, later identified as Tristao Commodore, 35 of Lusby, standing at the rear of the vehicle stumbling while attempting to walk away from the vehicle. Norton could smell a strong chemical odor on Commodore.
The car was locked but the engine was running. Emergency Medical Services personnel on the scene were able to unlock the vehicle so the engine could be turned off. At that time, Norton detected a strong odor of phencyclidine (PCP).
Commodore was found to be driving on a suspended license and had also taken the car he was driving without permission of the owner. Commodore was arrested and charged with possession of a schedule III drug; Phencyclidine, possession of marijuana in the amount less than 10 grams and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
