Vice/Narcotics Blotter<br />
The following information is compiled directly from publicly released police reports.<br />
Drugs Found in Motel Room<br />
St. Mary’s <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s Patrol Deputies<br />
responded to a reported robbery at a<br />
Charlotte Hall motel. As deputies continued<br />
the investigation, independent witnesses gave<br />
conflicting information. Deputies discovered<br />
oxycodone, burnt metal spoons, syringes and<br />
other drug paraphernalia on the scene. The<br />
two original complainants, James Anthony<br />
Lawrence Jr., age 34 of Mechanicsville, and<br />
Jessica Leigh Brown, 23 of Charlotte Hall, were arrested for the drug offenses.<br />
Further check revealed that Lawrence had an open indictment, which was obtained<br />
by Vice/Narcotics detectives. A St. Mary’s Grand Jury issued the arrest warrant<br />
with charges that included “conspiring to obtain oxycodone” and “possession of<br />
oxycodone with the intent to distribute”. The only item that was reported stolen at<br />
this time is a cell phone. The investigation is still under investigation.<br />
Several Arrested for Distributing<br />
Vincent Cornelius “Cat” Gordon, 47 of<br />
Leonardtown, was arrested on an open Grand<br />
Jury Indictment after detectives made several<br />
undercover purchases of cocaine from him. Suspect<br />
Gordon was charged with the additional<br />
count of “distribution of cocaine in close proximity<br />
of a school”. He was being held without bond.<br />
Damon Wayne “Debo” Cutchember, 36 of<br />
St. Inigoes, Md., was arrested for possession of<br />
cocaine with the intent to distribute”. He was<br />
originally held without bond.<br />
Robert Allan Hayden, 27 of Hollywood,<br />
Md., was indicted and subsequently arrested for<br />
“distribution of oxycodone”.<br />
Anthony Scott, 44 of Waldorf, Md., was<br />
indicted for “possession of cocaine with the Intent<br />
to Distribute” and “conspiring to distribute<br />
cocaine”.<br />
