LEXINGTON PARK, Md. — A Lexington Park 19-year-old has been arrested after a search of his home in early April resulted in a number of charges, according to police.
In February 2022, officials from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Vice/Narcotics Division began an investigation into the distribution, transferring, manufacturing, and purchasing of firearms to minors.
According to police, Maryland law defines a minor, for the purposes of regulated firearms, as anyone under the age of 21. Maryland law prohibits any person under the age of 21 from possessing/selling any regulated firearm.
On April 7, officials searched the man’s home in the 46000 block of Midway Drive after obtaining a warrant, which led them to the discovery of numerous rounds of ammunition, multiple caliber regulated firearms and parts to manufacture a rifle.
Last week on April 22, Keyshawn Green was arrested and charged by Sheriff's Office deputies with a host of crimes, including:
- Possession of Firearm by Minor
- Ammunition/Sale to Minor
- Regulated Firearm/Illegal Sale/Transfer
- Regulated Firearm/Unlawful Sale/Transfer
Green is currently incarcerated at the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown on a no-bond status.
