On May 8 at 4:29 p.m., Trooper First Class Costello, while on patrol in the St. Leonard area, observed Tyler A. Zell, 20 of St. Leonard, walking on the roadway.
TFC Costello was aware that Zell had an open warrant and ordered Zell and another person walking with him to stop. Zell continued to walk to a house close by and the occupant of the home, Brian P. White, 42, attempted to obstruct the apprehension of Zell from the residence.
White was informed that if he continued to try to aid Zell from avoiding arrest, he would be charged with obstructing. Zell exited the house and was captured and arrested.
White was charged with giving a false statement to police officers and obstructing. Both were taken to the Calvert County Detention Center.
