Calvert County DFC P. Wood responded to the Prince Frederick Giant on March 18 at 5:00 p.m. for the report of a man attempting to pass counterfeit money. 

The man had left the store and gotten into a vehicle and left the scene.  DFC J. Denton observed the vehicle leaving the McDonald’s parking lot and conducted a stop. 

He made contact with the driver, identified as Freddie Odeil Commodore, 49 of Port Republic and asked what had happened at the Giant store.  Commodore advised that the store clerk told him the money he handed her was fake and that he advised her it was not and he then got frustrated with the clerk and left the store.  Two passengers in the vehicle were both causing a disturbance and refused to follow police orders. 

All three subjects were found to be in possession of suspected drugs and were arrested. Sgt. R. Selkirk made contact with the Giant employees who advised that Commodore had attempted to conceal packaged meat products in his pants but had dropped them in one of the aisles. 

Commodore, Varonica Gray, 51 of Owings, and Daniel Corie Jones, 32 of Prince Frederick, were each charged with possession of cocaine, possession of cocaine in sufficient quantity to indicate an intent to distribute, and possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia; a digital scale. 

Commodore was also charged with theft less than $100.
