LEONARDTOWN, MD (November 19, 2025) – Deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office arrested two suspects on Tuesday, Nov. 18, in connection with a robbery and stabbing that took place on Nov. 16. The arrests follow an investigation that began when deputies responded to a report of a suspicious incident on Spyglass Way in Lexington Park on Sunday, Nov. 16, 2025, shortly before receiving a second call reporting a walk-in assault victim suffering from stab wounds at the Bay District Volunteer Fire Department, also in Lexington Park. The victim reported that while meeting with an acquaintance, multiple suspects confronted, robbed, and assaulted him before he was able to escape, return to his vehicle and drive to the firehouse for help. He was flown to a regional hospital, treated, and later released.
On Tuesday, deputies arrested Devonte Twain Harrod, 26, of Lexington Park, and a 16-year-old female in connection with the case.
The suspects were transported to the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown, where both face charges of armed robbery, robbery, first-degree assault, second-degree assault, and theft of $100 to less than $1,500.
Law enforcement agencies are prohibited from publicly identifying a juvenile, even when charged as an adult, due to legal protections safeguarding the juvenile’s identity throughout the judicial process.
The case remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Kortnie Marsch of the Criminal Investigations Division. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Marsch at 301-475-4200, ext. 8179, or by email at Kortnie.Marsch@stmaryscountymd.gov.
