Anne Arundel County police arrested three men last week in separate incidents, after officers found marijuana and drug paraphernalia when responding to resident complaints of drug use, according to a department press release.

Shortly before 10 p.m. on July 25, officers carried out a search warrant at a home on the 6400 block of Golden Oak Drive in Linthicum and found 17.47 grams of marijuana, with a street value of $260, according to police.

Officers arrested Brendan Matthew Hewes, 18, and charged him with marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to online court records.

At approximately 11:45 p.m. on July 25, officers carried out a search warrant at a home on the 200 block of Homewood Road in Linthicum and found 21.41 grams of marijuana, with a street value of $215, according to police.

Officers arrested Alexander Howard Evans, 19, and charged him with marijuana possession and two counts of drug paraphernalia possession, according to online court records.

At approximately 8:30 p.m. on July 26, officers patrolling the Freetown area of Glen Burnie—in response to complaints of drug activity—approached a man they believed was involved in drug activities, according to the release.

Police said the man immediately ran and threw a bag during the pursuit. Officers eventually caught the man and found the bag he tossed, which contained smaller bags with 24.15 grams of marijuana worth $250, according to police.

Officers arrested Kenny Carlos Truxon Jr., 20, and charged him with two counts of drug possession and one count of possessing drug paraphernalia, according to online court records.

In the past year, Truxon has been arrested in two other incidents, including a traffic stop the yielded drugs in May and a robbery at Marley Station Mall last August.
