In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The vehicle, a white Chevrolet Malibu, was subsequently stopped after officers noted several traffic violations. A K-9 unit was deployed and alerted to the presence of narcotics within the vehicle. Following the K-9’s alert, the driver, identified as Malkin Kevin Martin, 21, was taken into custody. A search of his person and the vehicle revealed suspected crack cocaine and a loaded Polymer 80, Glock-style 9mm handgun. The handgun was reportedly equipped with a Glock Conversion Device, which can enable full-automatic firing. Martin was transported to the Frederick County Adult Detention Center and faces charges including possession of a controlled dangerous substance (CDS) not including marijuana, possession of a loaded handgun in a vehicle, possession of a handgun in a vehicle, and possession of a firearm without a serial number.
