On May 2, 2015 at 6:10 PM, Deputy H. Smith responded to the McDonalds restaurant located on Great Mills Road, for a reported burglary to a motor vehicle.
The victim reported he had been working in the area and believed at some point his wallet was stolen from his unsecured truck. The victim’s bank had also informed him one of his credit cards had been used at multiple business in the Lexington Park area.
Deputy Smith began responding to the businesses to investigate the credit card usages. One of the busniesses captured the transaction on video and Deputy Smith was able to see the suspect along with store employees.
A short time later, a store employee spotted the suspect at another nearby restaurant and notified Deputy Smith. Deputy Smith contacted the suspect, identified as Shanae Elizabeth Dorsey, age 25, of Leonardtown and placed her under arrest.
Dorsey was transported to the St. Mary’s County Detention Center and charged with Theft Under $1,000 and Rogue and Vagabond.
