Great Mills man, 27, jailed on drug charges
A judge ordered Friday that Shawn Lorenzo Hicklin, 27, of Great Mills remain in jail without bond on drug and weapons charges filed after police reported carrying out a raid that led to his arrest.
St. Mary's narcotics detectives report that the raid Thursday at a Great Mills residence, with assistance from police dog handlers from Calvert County and a St. Mary's tactical team, led to the discovery of a handgun, $4,500 and cocaine with a street value of $900.
Bushwood man, 37, indicted on cocaine charges
Marlon Weslee Hill, 37, of Bushwood was released last week on a $500 cash bond posted after his arrest on an indictment charging him with the possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute the drug last August in the Helen community. Grand jurors also charged Hill with a conspiracy offense through the investigation by St. Mary's sheriff's deputies.
Lexington Park man, 29, arraigned on drug charges
Eric Javon Thomas, 29, of Lexington Park was arraigned last week on a felony drug indictment from an investigation last October by St. Mary's narcotics detectives.

Reward offered in vandalism probe
Law officers in St. Mary's are seeking the public's help through the county Crime Solvers program in their probe of vandalism reported last month to a vehicle outside a Hollywood residence. One or more culprits slashed the four tires on a 2004 Chrysler 300 vehicle parked on Feb. 12 at the home on Skyview Drive, Maryland State Police report. The loss from the crime was estimated at $500.
Citizens with information about this case and other crimes in St. Mary's County can collect a cash reward by calling Crime Solvers 24 hours a day at 301-475-3333. They can withhold their name and later collect their reward through a number-identification system.
St. Mary's County Crime Solvers is a nonprofit organization that assists law enforcement in solving open investigations that may not have been closed without the extra incentive of anonymity and an offer of a reward of up to $2,000, providing the information leads to an arrest or indictment.
