Vice Narcotics Detectives indicted Lisa Marie Tippett (Age 46 of Lexington Park) for Conspiring with others to distribute crack cocaine. She was originally held without bond.
Vice Narcotics Detectives assisted Detectives from the Bureau of Criminal Investigations with a reported armed robbery that occurred at St. Mary’s College. During the investigation it was determined that the original complaint was a false report and was actually a “drug deal gone bad”. As the drug portion of the investigation continued, Narcotics Detectives discovered that the orginal complainant, Adam Brandt Byerly (Age 19 of Baltimore) and a co conspirator were distributing marijuana. A Search revealed a quantity of marijuana which indicated the intent to distribute. An additional arrest is expected.
Andrew Tkaczuk (Age 27) was indicted by Vice Narcotics Detectives for multiple counts to include prescription fraud and insurance fraud. He was arrested in El Paso, Texas and was extradited back to the State of Maryland. He was subsequently released after his initial appearance in the Circuit Court.
Benjamin Steele Coe (Age 26 of Mechanicsville) was arrested on an open Grand Jury Indictment for “Distribution of Oxycodone”. A Search subsequent to that arrest revealed various multiple prescription pills to include “”Oxycodone”.
Leigh Anne Wathen (Age 30 of Hollywood, Md.) was indicted for her role in attempting to provide controlled substances to an inmate in the St. Mary’s County Detention Center.
