Deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office executed a search and seizure warrant on a residence in the 46000 block of Columbus Drive in Lexington Park on Saturday, resulting in the recovery of a weapon and the arrest of one individual.

 

As part of an ongoing weapons violation investigation, deputies secured a warrant to search the Lexington Park residence of Kyreek Montrel Adams, 20. The Criminal Intelligence Unit, in conjunction with members of the Emergency Services Team, conducted the operation.

 

During the search, deputies recovered a loaded Glock 9mm handgun equipped with a "switch" conversion device, which converts the firearm from semi-automatic to fully automatic.

 

Adams was taken into custody and charged with multiple offenses, including possession of a regulated firearm after being convicted of a disqualifying crime, possession of a firearm by an individual under the age of 21, and possession of a machine gun, among other related charges.

 

The suspect was transported to the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown, where he awaits a bond hearing.
