On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at around 8:50 p.m., while conducting proactive patrol operations in Lexington Park, deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office observed a Mazda B3000 pickup with historic tags operating on the road and were alerted by a license plate reader (LPR) that the plates had a Maryland Vehicle Administration tag pickup order and were registered to a Jaguar.
Deputies initiated a traffic stop on the truck for displaying registration plates belonging to another vehicle. The driver, identified as Tre Matthew Fear, 25, of Lexington Park, was found to have an active arrest warrant.
During a search of Fear, deputies located suspected CDS paraphernalia and a clear, tied-off plastic bag containing approximately 7.8 grams of suspected cocaine. A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed a digital scale with white powder residue and additional suspected drug paraphernalia.
Fear was arrested and transported to the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown. He was charged with possession of CDS – cocaine and two counts of use/possess with intent to use drug paraphernalia and is currently being held without bond.
