In the early hours of February 29, 2024, a disturbance led to the discovery of a loaded firearm and narcotics by officers of the La Plata Police Department (LPPD). The incident unfolded around 1:30 a.m. when law enforcement responded to reports of a fight in the 6700 block of Crain Highway.
As officers arrived, they observed several individuals attempting to leave the area hastily. During this commotion, one person was seen entering a nearby business. Inside, this individual discarded a loaded .44 caliber Smith & Wesson handgun along with a quantity of "crack" cocaine before attempting to flee.
The discovery of the gun and drugs has prompted a thorough investigation by the LPPD, as they work to understand the circumstances leading up to the fight and the identities of those involved. The investigation remains active, with law enforcement seeking further information and witnesses to the incident.
The presence of a loaded firearm and illicit drugs at the scene of a public disturbance raises significant concerns about community safety and the potential for violence. The LPPD is committed to addressing these concerns through diligent investigation and enforcement of the law.
As of now, no arrests have been announced, and the identities of the individuals involved have not been disclosed. The LPPD urges anyone with information about the incident to come forward to assist with the ongoing investigation.
