LEONARDTOWN, Md. – On September 5, 2024, Stephanie Marie Murphy, 45, of Temple Hills, MD, was arrested in connection with the theft of medication at the Charlotte Hall Veterans Home.
Her arrest followed an ongoing investigation, which began in March 2024 and included the assistance of multiple law enforcement agencies: Maryland State Police, Prince George’s County Police Department, Southern Maryland Intelligence Center (SMIC), and the Charles County Sheriff’s Office. Following her arrest, Murphy was transported to the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center and was later released.
