LEONARDTOWN, Md. – At approximately 8:27 p.m. on Thursday, January 18, 2024, St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Deputy First Class Travis Wimberly proactively initiated a traffic stop after witnessing an equipment violation on a 2005 Chevrolet Express van.
Following the stop, Corporal Phillip Henry responded to the scene, and a K9 scan of the vehicle and occupants produced a positive alert for the detection of narcotics. A subsequent search resulted in the discovery of an amount of cocaine concealed in a wallet belonging to Michael Wade Blackistone, 41, of Lexington Park, MD.
Mr. Wade was arrested and transported to the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center to face a charge of CDS: Possession Not Marijuana; the second occupant of the vehicle was released.
With all of the effort they expend trying to proliferate their stash, they could have used it in a regular job to make a difference in society!
This guy is in real trouble, after all he DID’NT have an illegal gun on him. That is usually the “get out of jail free” card with our disoriented judiciary system.
