LEONARDTOWN, Md. – At approximately 4:10 p.m., on October 2, 2024, deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office observed a GMC Yukon traveling southbound on MD Route 235 in Hollywood, where Davione Syheme Mason, 23, of Lexington Park, was a passenger.
Mason is known to deputies and wanted on an open warrant for attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, reckless endangerment, illegal possession of a regulated firearm, illegal possession of ammunition, handgun on person, and possession of a loaded handgun.
While watching the vehicle, deputies witnessed the GMC suddenly accelerate forward, strike the rear bumper of another car, and flee the scene. A short distance later, deputies attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but the driver of the GMC failed to stop, leading to a vehicle pursuit until the driver lost control of the vehicle, traveled off the roadway, and into the front yard of a private residence in the 22000 block of Old Rolling Road in California. The driver of the vehicle, identified as Tyquan Samuel Wills, 25, also of Lexington Park, and Mason, fled on foot. No injuries were reported.
After an extensive search, Mason was located in a nearby residential area and taken into custody without further incident.
Deputies located Wills in a nearby business area as he was trying to flee while hiding in a Chrysler sedan driven by Azse Ktemaque Hawkins, 36, of Prince Frederick. Following a traffic stop by deputies, Hawkins was found to be driving under the influence and was arrested.
During the subsequent investigation, Wills was found in possession of a significant quantity of suspected cocaine and related paraphernalia. He is charged with one count each of CDS possession – not marijuana and CDS possession with intent to distribute, two counts of CDS possession of paraphernalia, one count of fleeing and eluding by vehicle, one count of fleeing and eluding by foot, two counts of hit-and-run with property damage, and related traffic violations.
The three suspects were transported to the Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown.
