LEONARDTOWN, Md. – State’s Attorney Jaymi Sterling announced today that Tyler Ray Marini Sater, 22, of Stoney Beach, Maryland, was sentenced to 59 years in prison with 44 years of active incarceration for multiple criminal convictions stemming from his week-long, one-man crime spree in December 2022.
On December 13, 2022, Sater committed a robbery by knifepoint at the Cloud Smoke Shop in California, Maryland. On December 19, 2022, just six days later, he committed an additional series of crimes at the Wildewood Shopping Center. As a result, he was convicted of robbery, attempted armed carjacking, unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, attempted harm of a law enforcement animal, and rogue and vagabond. While pending trial, Sater fled to Charles County. He was subsequently charged and convicted of second-degree escape.
“While the Defendant was on supervised probation in several other counties for disturbingly similar crimes, he fled to our County and initiated a one-man crime spree. His deliberate actions victimized multiple community members, each suffering from the impact of his criminal conduct,” said State’s Attorney Sterling. “This sentence serves as a critical step toward safeguarding the public and ensuring that this Defendant can no longer target the citizens in our community.”
Senior Assistant State’s Attorney Alena Mosier prosecuted the case on behalf of the citizens of St. Mary’s County.
Detective Warren Forinash, Detective Daniel Sidorowicz, and Detective Taylore Nauman of the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office were the lead investigators.
The Honorable Michael J. Stamm presided over the case.
