During the course of a lengthy cocaine distribution investigation which involved a network of individuals, it was discovered that Sherron “Tut” Bush was selling cocaine throughout St. Mary’s County. Through various investigative avenues Vice Narcotics Detectives made purchases of cocaine from several members of the drug network including Bush.
As members of his organization began to get arrested, Bush fled the area and has been on the run for more than a year. Vice Narcotics Detectives received information from time to time and the information was for areas outside the State of Maryland.
Sheriff’s Office Vice Narcotics Detectives met with the United States Marshal’s Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force and turned the case over to them. The US Marshal’s Task Force followed leads that came to the Sheriff’s Office and those that were generated by their own investigation.
Bush was apprehended by the US Marshals Task Force in Richmond, Va. without incident. He is currently being held in a Richmond Detention facility awaiting extradition back to St. Mary’s County to answer to the several open warrants.
Those warrants include cocaine trafficking charges. In addition there is a warrant through the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office for the suspect related to his failure to pay child support Inquiries should be directed to Capt. Daniel D. Alioto, Commander of Vice Narcotics, at (301) 475-4200 ext. 1918.
