On Dec. 21, the Vice/Narcotics Division and Support Team members participated in the St. Mary’s CountySheriff’s Office “Maximum Deployment Operation”. During the operation, detectives encountered Suspect Kimberly Annette Taylor, 44 of Mechanicsville and Jason Neil Lanham, 33 of Bel Alton attempting to complete a drug transaction for “Suboxone”. Both parties were detained along with a third suspect, Elijah Collier, 34 of LaPlata. Suspect Lanham was found to be in possession of “Suboxone” film strips and was charged accordingly. Suspects Taylor and Collier were found to be in possession of various prescription medications to include “Xanax”, “Klonopin”, “Oxycodone’, “Adderall” and “Amphetamines” totaling more than 300 pills. The pills carry a street value of more than $4,300. The pills were stored in numerous containers. Suspects Taylor and Collier are both receiving medical subsistence through the State of Maryland. Evidence also indicated that the suspects were “doctor shopping” and received prescriptions from no less than four doctors. A 2010 Honda CRV and nearly $1,400 in cash were also seized.
