PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. – A grand jury recently indicted Brandon Alexander Turner, 21, of Greenbelt, Maryland on 31 counts after the police-involved shooting of Calvert County Sheriff’s Senior Deputy James Flynt on December 17, 2022.
Turner has been charged with three counts of attempted first-degree murder, three counts of attempted second-degree murder, three counts of assault first-degree, one count of firearm possession with crime of violence conviction, three counts of assault second-degree, three counts of use of firearm, four counts of reckless endangerment from a car, one count of regulated firearm stolen, one count of loaded handgun in vehicle along with one count of handgun in vehicle, one count of loaded handgun on person along with handgun on person, one count of malicious destruction of property over $1,000, three counts of flee and elude, one count of illegal possession of ammunition, and one count of possession of cannabis of over 10 milligrams.
On December 17, 2022, Calvert County Sheriff’s Deputies conducted a traffic stop in Dunkirk. During the stop, Turner fled from the deputies in a vehicle on Rt. 4.
According to the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office, “Preliminary investigation revealed the suspect driving the fleeing vehicle opened fire at pursuing deputies, striking one patrol vehicle. The pursuit continued to the Walnut Creek subdivision in Huntingtown, where deputies were able to terminate the pursuit. The occupants of the vehicle fled on foot. The suspect that was driving fired additional rounds, ultimately striking Senior Deputy James Flynt.”
S/Dep Flynt was then flown to an area Trauma Center.
Since then, S/Deputy Flynt has been released from the hospital and is recovering at home.
The prosecution of the case against Turner will be handled by Timothy J. Mahar of the Calvert County State’s Attorney’s Office. Turner has been held without bond at the Prince George’s County Detention Center since being discharged from the hospital on December 20, 2022.
Turner’s initial appearance in the Circuit Court for Calvert County is set for Monday, February 6, 2023 at 8:30 a.m.

I see a life sentence coming
I don’t, it’s Maryland, he’ll serve a couple of years and be out on good behavior
Nelly can wear the boots with the furs all day long in the clink…
But he didn’t follow the laws. When will you liberals realize that?! Gun restriction does nothing to the criminals aside from empowering them. Don’t like guns? Cool don’t buy one.
Should he get life? Probably… In this blue state, He’ll be out in a few years to murder someone.
Cops need more time at the range
Yeah send him to prison where the inmates will give him a hero’s welcome and he’ll get a reduced sentence for “good behavior”.
That’s exactly what will happen, facts!
Good. Now Prosecutor’s need to quite plea bargaining. Judge’s need to ensure a fair trial and when/if the accused is found the sentence should reflect the Judge’s commitment to protect the law-abiding citizens.
Held without bond. Court commissioner got this one correct.
I’ll bet ANYONE that this POS gets out before his life is over and he takes a life. Who knows how many people he’s killed so far? I say send him to gitmo. If you’re shooting at cops, you clearly have zero concern for any authority or any respect for anyone including yourself. Let him meet some real monsters. They’d have him catwalking the tier in no time.
Send him to the White House there is a real monster there
Flynt is a dirtbag I could care less
So what you are saying is you would rather let the criminal element run amok and potentially do more harm to our community than one cop, that you say is mean, potentially helping keep us safe? Yeah. You are dumb.
Hope he stays in jail forever. Officer Flynn is an outstanding officer and we are so glad he is doing well
On another note,,,,Several TV stations reported the evening of the incident and the next day …that the officer had been shot in the face….
as well that information rolled over to FB news outlets…
I have not seen anyone call out the media for inaccurate news reporting,
Lastly , I hope this POS thug criminal rots in prison… his indignant expression above speaks volumes …
Gun/drug charge vs attempted murder…hmmm
Why was this pos not in prison in the first place???????? Hope he rots there this time Judges!!!!!!
