Maryland State Police identified the suspects as Alishawaine Monk, 34, of Port Deposit, and Ronald Dugger, 45, of North East. Monk faces charges including possession with intent to distribute controlled dangerous substances, possession of a firearm during a drug trafficking crime, and multiple additional offenses. Due to prior restrictions, Monk was prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition. Dugger faces similar charges related to drug distribution and firearm possession. Both individuals are being held without bail at the Cecil County Detention Center.
The investigation, conducted with assistance from the Pennsylvania State Police, included the execution of search warrants on April 17.
