During the month of October 2011, police units responded to several residences in the Lexington Park, California and Leonardtown area which had been broken into during the daytime hours and personal property removed. The St. Mary’s County Bureau of Criminal Investigations assumed the investigation into the burglaries. Following a month long investigation and the execution of Search and Seizure Warrants detectives arrested and charged Joseph A. Wilson, age 23, of Waldorf, Maryland with three counts of First Degree Burglary and three counts of Theft $1,000 to $10,000. Additional charges are pending following a review with the State’s Attorney’s Office. Wilson is currently incarcerated in the St. Mary’s County Detention Center and has additional charges pending in Charles and Prince George’s County, Maryland for similar crimes in those jurisdictions.
