Deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division, in coordination with the Vice Narcotics Unit, arrested Judy Marie Smith, 45, of California, MD, early Wednesday morning on an open warrant for drug distribution and other charges.
At approximately 4:12 a.m., deputies took Smith into custody and transported her to the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown. Smith was served with an open warrant charging her with the following offenses:
- Fourteen counts of CDS – Possession with Intent to Distribute
- Ten counts of Vulnerable Adult Abuse
- Ten counts of Obtaining Property of a Vulnerable Adult
- One count of Theft Scheme ($100 to under $1,000)
The charges stem from an investigation at the Taylor Farms Assisted Living facility in Bushwood where Smith, an employee, was suspected of diverting controlled prescription medication from patients.
Anyone with additional information about this case is asked to contact Deputy First Class Travis Wimberly at 301-475-4200, ext. 8086, or by email at Travis.Wimberly@stmaryscountymd.gov.
