WALDORF, Md. – On July 24 at 12:37 a.m., officers working on a detail relating to stolen cars observed a red Toyota Prius parked near Hamilton Place in Waldorf. Officers confirmed the vehicle had been reported stolen in St. Mary’s County, and as officers approached, the driver of the Prius began to move.
Officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but the driver fled. Officers pursued the stolen car until it hit a curb on Ruston Place in Waldorf where the occupants jumped out of the vehicle and fled.
A short time later, a suspicious activity call was dispatched in Bannister Circle, where witnesses observed two males jumping several fences in their backyards. Officers located one of the males, Anthony Kavon Brown, age 24, of Waldorf, who had the keys to the Prius. Brown was taken into custody.
Brown had active warrants for failing to appear in court for an armed robbery and illegal possession of firearms case. When Brown was initially charged with the robbery earlier this year, a judge released him from the Charles County Detention Center on electronic monitoring; however, Brown violated the terms of electronic monitoring by cutting off the device and never appeared in court.
Brown was transported to a hospital where he was treated for an injury he received while jumping the fences.
Upon his release from the hospital, he was transported to the Charles County Detention Center and charged with theft and failure to appear in court. Brown is currently being held without bond.
