LEXINGTON PARK, Md. – On Tuesday, May 2, 2023, detectives with the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office executed a search and seizure warrant on a Lexington Park man resulting in cocaine distribution charges.
Criminal Investigations Division detectives located Deyonta Terrell Gross, age 29 of Lexington Park, driving a 2021 Hyundai Palisade at a restaurant in California.
Gross was detained by police and search of the vehicle produced a digital scale located in the front driver door and a box of sandwich bags located in the center console. A quantity of suspected cocaine was also located on Gross.
Gross was charged with CDS Possession with Intent to Distribute Narcotics, CDS: Production Equipment and CDS Possession: Cocaine. He was transported to the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown and released on recognizance on Wednesday and placed on Pre-Trial supervision.
So this guy has a slew charges since 2018. His last conviction was in April 2021 for which he got 5 years suspended down to 18 months. Hopefully this will be a VOP and he will get the backup time. For this charge, the delightful Judge Tanavage let this joker go ROR. We need to get rid of these “catch and release” judges”. it should not matter how much it costs the tax payer to keep these dealers of death in jail, it will likely save lives.
SO WHY WAS HE NOT ROTTING FOR THE NEXT 8 YEARS?! BECAUSE THE JUDGES AND ATTORNEYS LET THIS DIRTBAG WALK AFTER ATTEMPTED MURDER. THEY LET HIM PLEAD TO LESSER CHARGES. THIS IS COMPLETE CRAP. DO BETTER JUDGES AND ATTORNEYS.
We need to get rid of these liberal judges. They don’t care about the victims. Only the criminals. FJB.
He was appointed by a Republican… I think the term you wanted to use was ‘lenient’.
We need a bigger jail. Period
