DUNKIRK, Md. — A Huntingtown woman is facing multiple felony charges after authorities say she stole and distributed large quantities of prescription drugs from a Calvert County pharmacy over a two-year period.
Amanda Louise Phillips, 28, of Huntingtown, was arrested following an investigation into missing medications from a CVS Pharmacy in Dunkirk.
According to the statement of charges, the case stems from incidents between January 1, 2024, and February 20, 2026, at the CVS located on Ward Road in Dunkirk. Investigators allege Phillips stole and possessed large quantities of controlled prescription medications, including Clonazepam, Alprazolam, and Xanax, with intent to distribute.
The report states that more than 1,200 Clonazepam pills, approximately 890 Alprazolam pills, and over 300 Xanax pills were taken during the course of the scheme, with a total estimated value exceeding $1,100.
According to the report, Phillips later admitted to stealing approximately 1,500 pills from the pharmacy over time and told investigators she provided some of the drugs to another individual while also keeping some for personal use.
Authorities reported that pharmacy staff conducted an internal audit, which revealed additional missing inventory, bringing the total value of stolen medications to more than $1,200.
Investigators also reviewed surveillance footage and documented multiple instances in which Phillips allegedly removed pills while working, contributing to the ongoing theft scheme.
Phillips is charged with theft scheme involving property valued between $100 and $1,500, multiple counts of possession with intent to distribute controlled dangerous substances, distribution of controlled substances, and possession of controlled substances.
She was released on an unsecured personal bond of $10,000 after her arrest.
Under Maryland law, possession with intent to distribute and distribution of controlled dangerous substances each carry maximum penalties of up to 20 years in prison, while theft scheme charges can carry additional jail time and fines.

Drug dealers deserve the harshest penalties out there.
When i was at that location I felt she was high as hell when I saw her
Same. I remember her.
Alexa, play “I Can Hear The Perkies Calling” by Future!!
So not only did you crash your car due to these same drugs back on Feb 18.. but now you have a second article about you on baynet. Good job!
It sounds like she’s well known to the locals… and not in a good way
Isn’t this the same chick who flipped a car back in February and was caught with several controlled substances?? Guess we know where those came from.
She doesn’t look like an “illegal” to me. I guess she should be the one deported 🤷🏻♂️
Take your meds. You should lay off of the pills too
What the heck are you yapping about? Deport yourself if it’s so bad here
The TRUE usual suspects. Funny how the value of the pills is remarkably low, and the comments remarkably kind. YTPrivilege is a hellava drug.
I smell racial envy
She just sounds like an incel… that generally includes racial envy though
Wow, so true! You go with your bad self!
She stole over 1500 pills and the value was less than $1500.00? How much do 1500 pills cost THE CUSTOMER? I have NO medication that is $1.00 per pill 🤔
I can not believe she got away with stealing that many benzodiazepine’s without getting caught much sooner.
If 1500 pills are valued at $1200 then why are prescriptions so expensive?
The pharmacy must have a he’ll of a markup
Duh, they show up out of nowhere easing everyone’s urge. From old to young & young to old. Watch em all because there’s no honor amongst crooks. Encest blood goes far more.
*Incest… may want to go work on that GED.
Better watch the company that you keep round. And dose dat darken your door nob.In all conties they be working to keep dem all out. How do dey rejister the sex offenders.. No dey dont in St Marys. Take a blackeye for dat.
When I was in college, I had a friend who did this, and he was facing many charges. He was Nigerian, so throw your prejudice out the window. He got off because he showed the judge how dedicated he was to pharmacology, and went on to make straight A’s and transfer to U of Miami. Stay in school, and protect your responsibilities, don’t abuse them.
Lord I pray for the commentors who make fun of a person’s situation, Southern Maryland needs comraderie not claws. Crabs just pulling each other down. I miss my town.
I haven’t seen a baynet article have this many comments in years. She should get serious punishment, SoMD and especially Calvert is junkie central. Drugs are bad mkay and being a drug dealer like her should be a direct trip to prison.
I feel so bad for her she is taking the blame for someone else who stole from the pharmacy I hope she gets off and gets the other person in trouble sweet soul but that is what happens when you have junkies friends
Finding out she basically took the blame for someone else I hope she tells the truth because she is an amazing mother to her kids. Good luck Amanda
im so confused how did she steal from 2024 to 2026 when she was on maternity for 2 years i only seen her a few times working their in 2025 kinda odd but thats why ppl pay attorneys so
AMANDA you need to come clean and tell your attorney or the judge the truth when you came to me as a sponsor and told me i think you said hannah or hailey i think you said she had harry potter tattoos? was stealing from the pharmacy in the middle of 2024 you should of came clean to your boss then as your sponsor for years that girl was never your friend especially to offer you a drug that you were addicted to since 2015-2018 then got clean for aydan thats who needs you the most that girl isnt your friend and used you for a way out so she wouldnt get caught that girl needs to get taken down not you i pray to god you are okay and do not go down for someone elses mistake. someone who offers you drugs knowing you use to be an addict isnt a friend eff her amanda!!!! i know you kept saying i feel bad cause shes your best friend where is she now NO WHERE
