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?
Upon stopping the fleeing GMC Yukon, law enforcement discovered five individuals inside: Jeremiah Michael Mayhew, 19, of Libertytown, Maryland; Joshua Lee Mayhew Jr., 20, of Libertytown, Maryland; Destin Jerrell Braxton, 18, of Frederick, Maryland; Brennen Tyler Summers, 23, of Frederick, Maryland; and a 16-year-old juvenile male. During the stop, a loaded 9mm handgun was discovered on the rear passenger-side floorboard of the vehicle. Additionally, ammunition consistent with the found firearm was located in Joshua Mayhew Jr.’s possession.
Responding to the victim’s residence, deputies gathered information that indicated the suspects had forcibly entered the home while armed with a handgun and proceeded to assault the resident. All five individuals were taken into custody. The four adult arrestees were transported to the Frederick County Adult Detention Center. The juvenile suspect was taken to the Law Enforcement Center for processing in accordance with procedures set forth by the Department of Juvenile Services.
The charges filed against the individuals include first-degree assault, second-degree assault, handgun violations, and home invasion. The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office is urging anyone with further information related to this incident to contact them at 301-600-1046 or to submit tips through their dedicated tip line at 301-600-4131.
