Charles County Sheriff Rex W. Coffey said a call from a citizen - combined with excellent patrol work and a determined police K-9 team - helped lead to the arrest of two suspects who had just burglarized a house.
On November 19 at 12 noon, officers were dispatched to a residence in the area of Beechwood Drive in Waldorf after a witness called police to report a burglary in progress at a neighbor’s house.
Pfc. K. Lerch and Officer K. Makle - who were off duty but in the area - responded along with Cpl. J. Murphy, Officer R. Gass and Officer V. Warker who were dispatched to the call. Pfc. Lerch, who was the first officer to arrive on the scene, observed a dark blue Cadillac Escalade parked in the driveway. As Pfc. Lerch exited his car to investigate, the driver of the Cadillac drove off, running over the grass and down Beechwood Drive. The burglary was confirmed, a lookout was broadcast and officers set up perimeters. The Cadillac continued to Pineview Court where a passenger jumped out of the car and fled on foot. The driver of the getaway car fled to Farmington Woods in Prince George’s County where he bailed out of the car. Officers canvassed both neighborhoods: the Beechwood area for the first suspect and Farmington Woods for
the second suspect. Prince George’s County police officers and Maryland Park police officers responded and assisted with the search as well.
Two police K-9 teams responded to Farmington Woods to search for the suspect. Cpl. J. Freeman of the CCSO K-9 Unit assisted Pfc. C. Clevenger and his partner, Eno, in the initial track. Then Pfc. Clevenger and Eno picked up a track that took them to points down south, up steep hills, through numerous ravines, and back north.
After pursuing the scent for nearly a mile, Eno eventually tracked the suspect to the rear of a house on Beechdale Court in Accokeek. As officers approached, they observed the suspect attempting to conceal himself under a small deck. He was arrested without incident by Sgt. J. Elliott and Lt. C. Becker who were assisting in the search.
Pfc. J. Foster, who remained in the area where the burglary occurred, spotted the other suspect on Pineview Court and placed him under arrest without incident.
Evidence linking both suspects to the burglary was recovered from the suspects’ car. Steven Thomas Williams, 24, of Brandywine (the driver) and Theodore Emmanuel Logan, 23, of District Heights (the passenger) were charged with burglary and theft. Other charges are pending. The Criminal Investigations Division is continuing the investigation.
It has been determined that the robbery that was reported on the canal path on November 20 did NOT occur. Investigators are no longer seeking information concerning the three described suspects in this incident. Due to mitigating circumstances involving the alleged victim, and after consultation with the Commonwealth's Attorney, investigators will not be seeking charges against the individual who reported this event.

A short time later, officers received a call from a resident who lives in the 2700 block of Pinewood Drive who reported he had been asleep in his bedroom when he was awakened by a male suspect who had just walked in his room. The suspect fled after being detected. Investigation revealed the suspect entered the residence through an unlocked kitchen window and stole money. Officers conducted a search and deployed a police K-9 team. The scene was processed and evidence was recovered. Officer C. Collins and Cpl. J Burroughs are investigating.
OFFICERS RECOVER DRUGS AND HANDGUN: On Nov. 4 at 1 p.m., an officer initiated a traffic stop in the 2100 block of Crain Highway in Waldorf after observing a suspicious vehicle leave the parking lot of the Waldorf Motel. A computer check revealed the vehicle owner’s driver’s license was suspended. Upon stopping the car, the officer observed suspected marijuana in the car and an open alcoholic container. The occupants were asked to exit the car at which time the officer also found a plastic smoking device, a scale containing suspected marijuana residue, and a handgun. The driver, Scott Edward Jones, 19, of Silver Spring, and passenger, Zachary Wilbert Swann, 20, of La Plata, were arrested and charged with possession of a handgun. Officer V. Warker made the arrests.
MAN CHARGED WITH FALSE STATEMENT/EXTORTION: On Nov. 4 at 12:30 p.m., officers received a call from a Waldorf man who reported his adult son may have been kidnapped. The man said he received a text message from his son’s cell phone number which indicated his son had been kidnapped and that the kidnappers wanted $2500 in ransom. The message went on to say the son would be harmed if the kidnapper’s demands were not met. The man contacted police who initiated an investigation. Officers contacted the victim’s girlfriend who told officers her boyfriend, Louis Harrod, 18, had been abducted at gunpoint the previous day. She told officers the alleged suspects threatened to harm her if she reported the incident. Officers continued investigating and learned Harrod might be at a residence in St. St. Mary’s County. As they approached the location, investigators saw a male fitting Harrod’s description exit an apartment - alone and unharmed. Detectives stopped the man and identified him as Harrod. Harrod maintained he had been kidnapped but escaped. Further investigation revealed Harrod had been at a relative’s house the entire time and the report of the kidnapping was false. Harrod was arrested and charged with filing a false statement and extortion and remanded to the Charles County Detention Center with a $3,000 bond. Charges are pending against Harrod’s girlfriend. The Criminal Investigations Division is investigating.

NOTE: Recently, officers have responded to reports of day-time burglaries throughout the county. While officers have made arrests in many of these cases and they continue to develop suspects in others, the CCSO is reminding residents there are precautions they should take. For instance:
· Lock doors and windows - in many cases, the suspects entered the dwelling through unlocked doors or open windows.
· Consider an alarm system - in some cases, the suspects actually broke out a window or pried open a door and an alarm would alert police.
· Look for unusual activity in your neighborhood – in some cases suspects have actually disguised themselves as utility workers and were able to break in because it appeared they belonged at the house. If you know your neighbors are not at home and you see suspicious activity, call the sheriff’s office right away. We will respond to investigate. Do not approach the person. Rather, get a good description of the person and their car if they have one.
If you have suspect information in any of these burglaries, please call (301) 932-2222. Callers wishing to remain anonymous may call the Charles County Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS. There is a cash reward for information leading to the arrest of suspects in these cases.
