OWINGS, Md. – On Feb. 2, Detective Livingston was in the area of Briscoe Turn Road in Owings when he conducted a traffic stop.

The driver, later identified as Jared Brian Maites, 34, appeared to be falling asleep while driving. After making contact with Maites, Detective Livingston observed a large amount of green powdery substance along with several green leaf like pieces of what he believed to be marijuana. Maites was removed from the vehicle when Detective Livingston observed a marijuana bowl on the floorboard along with a small oval pill. He was placed under arrest. A search of his person and his vehicle revealed several syringes, a spoon, and over 350 pills.

The Calvert Control Center advised Detective Livingston that Maites had an open warrant from the state of California. Maites was transported to the Calvert County Detention Center. Once back at the Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Kreps located a Suboxone strip package and a plastic bag containing a piece of Suboxone strip in Maites’ wallet.

Maites was served his warrant and charged with CDS: Possession of Paraphernalia, CDS: Possession Not Marijuana and CDS: Possession with Intent to Distribute.
