LEXINGTON PARK, Md. – At approximately 8:21 p.m., on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, Deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Intelligence and Vice Narcotics Units, in collaboration with personnel from the Criminal Investigations Division, Special Operations Division, and Patrol Division, with assistance from the Emergency Services Team, executed a search and seizure warrant at a residence in the 21000 block of Windsor Drive, Lexington Park, MD.
During the execution of this search and seizure warrant, a juvenile, known to have an active arrest warrant, attempted to evade Deputies. The juvenile was apprehended outside of the residence, and a subsequent search of the individual revealed a loaded semi-automatic handgun, which was concealed within the waistband of the subject’s pants.
Additionally, James Sylvester Ford, 48, of Lexington Park, MD, who was in the residence at the time of the warrant service, was found to have a quantity of Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA).
Deputies transported both individuals to the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center for charging.
Great job to all the Deputies from SMCSO. Now! Jaymi Sterling it’s your turn. We the people of St Mary’s County deserve and demand a safe place to raise our family, work & enjoy life. Appropriate charges should be brought based on the evidence gathered within the parameters of the law. NO PLEA BARGIN! When the charges are heard by the Judge and if the jury finds the defendants guilty, the sentence should protect the law-abiding citizens.
She is a joke. So many people have gotten off with a slap on the wrist. They do those competency hearings and are set free from all charges.
Everybody gets to go home. Nobody has to pay for even wasting the court’s time. If we are to blame anybody, it is definitely the judges and prosecutors. I agree that if more people really got in trouble, maybe the others would be less inclined to do crime. But he will be out in no time.
