LEXINGTON PARK, Md. – Deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office were called to the 45000 block of Carefree Way in Lexington Park at approximately 1:38 a.m. on Sunday, February 16, for the report of a subject with a gun.
Upon arrival, deputies learned that the suspect had fled the scene. According to witnesses, the suspect approached the residence, and when multiple occupants went outside to see what he was doing, he pointed the firearm at the victims, causing them to retreat inside, where they witnessed him slashing tires on a vehicle in the driveway before fleeing the area.
The suspect was identified as Adam David Chaney, 41, of La Plata. Detectives from the Criminal Investigations Division and patrol deputies located Chaney at his home. Detectives executed a search warrant, and a firearm was recovered; Chaney was arrested without incident.
Chaney was charged with first- and second-degree assault, firearm use in the commission of a felony/violent crime, and malicious destruction of property valued at less than $1,000. He was transported to the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown, where he awaits a bond hearing.
