LEXINGTON PARK, Md. — On Oct. 3, 2025, at approximately 2:25 a.m., deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office arrested Katelyn Rose Martin, 23, of Lexington Park, following a traffic stop on Great Mills Road that allegedly resulted in the recovery of multiple suspected narcotics and drug paraphernalia. According to court documents, Martin faces three counts of possession of a controlled dangerous substance and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to police reports, deputies conducted a traffic stop on a gray Ford Fusion for inadequate rear plate lights. During the stop, a Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit conducted an open-air sniff around the vehicle, which resulted in a positive alert for the presence of narcotics. Deputies then executed a probable-cause search of the vehicle and Martin’s person, according to authorities.
Court records indicate the search reportedly uncovered several glass smoking devices containing suspected crack cocaine residue, multiple glass containers with a brown powder believed to be heroin, multiple plastic bags containing suspected heroin and cocaine, more than 10 syringes loaded with a substance suspected to be methamphetamine, a glass container with suspected crack cocaine, two digital scales with residue, several spoons with residue, numerous used and unused syringes, and multiple unidentified pills. Court filings state Martin allegedly admitted to deputies that all of the controlled dangerous substances were in her vehicle and in her possession.
Martin was taken into custody and transported to the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center for processing. Court records indicate she was released on personal recognizance on Oct. 3, 2025, with no bond required. A trial officer scheduling hearing is set for Nov. 25, 2025, in the District Court of Maryland for St. Mary’s County.
Under Maryland criminal law, each count of possession of a controlled dangerous substance carries a maximum penalty of up to four years’ imprisonment and/or a $25,000 fine, while possession of drug paraphernalia carries a maximum penalty of one year imprisonment and/or a $1,000 fine per count, if convicted.
