The driver slowed but continued traveling for a short distance. During that time, the driver was observed placing items into the back seat of the vehicle. The driver eventually stopped and upon further investigation, officers recovered approximately $1,700 worth of methamphetamine, a digital scale, packaging materials consistent with drug distribution, and a loaded 9mm privately made firearm, along with a large quantity of ammunition. The driver, Michael Alvaro Monjaras-Ramos, 21, of Waldorf, was arrested and transported to the Charles County Detention Center, where he was charged with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, and multiple firearm charges.
