La Plata, Md. — On June 4, 2024, La Plata police officers conducted a welfare check that resulted in the seizure of a significant quantity of drugs, a loaded handgun, and suspected drug proceeds. The incident occurred at approximately 5:29 p.m. when officers responded to a report of two individuals sitting at a traffic light in a vehicle on Crain Highway at Heritage Green Parkway.
Upon arrival, officers discovered that the two individuals in the vehicle were suffering from a phencyclidine (PCP) overdose. Immediate medical intervention was necessary, and both individuals were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
While at the scene, officers noticed a vial that appeared to contain PCP. The vehicle was subsequently seized and secured by the officers. One of the responding officers applied for and obtained a search and seizure warrant for the vehicle.
The search of the vehicle yielded substantial quantities of various illegal substances, including:
- 5 ounces of liquid PCP
- 5 grams of cocaine
- 38 grams of "crack" cocaine
- 49 grams of methamphetamine
- 100 grams of marijuana
Additionally, officers found a loaded handgun, $10,000 in suspected drug proceeds, and a cellphone within the vehicle. The discovery of these items suggests a possible connection to drug trafficking activities.
Charges are pending against two residents of Indian Head, who are believed to be connected to the seized items. The identities of the individuals have not been released as the investigation is ongoing.
