Alehandro J. Brown, 51, and Latoya N. Sewell, 41, both of Lexington Park
Alehandro J. Brown, 51, and Latoya N. Sewell, 41, both of Lexington Park, were arrested on July 27, 2024, for possession of controlled dangerous substances (CDS) and drug paraphernalia following a traffic stop in Lexington Park.
Trooper First Class Timothy Eckrich of the Maryland State Police Leonardtown Barrack was on patrol in an unmarked vehicle when he observed a white Chevrolet Silverado illegally turning left onto Chancellors Run Road from an access road behind a 7-Eleven. Trooper Eckrich initiated a traffic stop on Pegg Road. The driver, identified as Vernon Richard Hebb, and two passengers, identified from their MVA photos as Alehandro J. Brown and Latoya N. Sewell, were in the vehicle.
During the stop, Trooper Eckrich observed Brown attempting to stuff something into his right front pocket. Brown claimed he was trying to get to his money. However, when Trooper Eckrich asked Brown to exit the vehicle, he observed Brown pour a white powder-like substance from a folded $20 bill onto the passenger seat and roof of the vehicle. This substance was identified as cocaine based on the Trooper’s training and experience. A further search of Brown and the vehicle revealed:
- A $20 bill with suspected cocaine residue.
- Suspected cocaine on the passenger seat and the roof of the vehicle.
- A white plastic container with two crystallized stones (presumably crack cocaine) was found in a blue bag on the passenger seat.
Brown is accused of:
- CDS possession (cocaine)
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
Sewell, who was carrying a blue bag when she was asked to exit the vehicle, was also arrested. While searching the vehicle, officers found the white plastic container of suspected crack cocaine in her blue bag. After being read her Miranda rights, Sewell stated that the cocaine belonged to Brown and that he had placed the container in her bag. However, Brown did not provide any information about the drugs.
Sewell is accused of:
- CDS possession (cocaine)
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
Both Brown and Sewell were taken to the St. Mary’s County Detention Center.
