HANOVER, Md. — A suspicious vehicle call at Arundel Mills led to the arrest of an Upper Marlboro man Thursday night and the recovery of firearms, ammunition, and body armor.
Officers found a blue 2016 Ford Explorer parked around 8:45 p.m. Sept. 11, 2025 in the 7000 block of Arundel Mills Circle. A semi-automatic rifle was visible in the open trunk, according to investigators.
The driver, Robert Arthur Muschette, 56, was later detained. Police recovered an Anderson Manufacturing AM-15 rifle, two stolen handguns, boxes of ammunition, four loaded rifle magazines, and two ballistic vests — including one marked “Special Police.”
