When detectives checked Bucks Facebook account, they located she had fireworks for sale in July and when reviewing the images, the 7 boxes pictured matched the ones recovered from the Buick. Claggett was found to have no social media presence and Buck is listed as the only person to publicly post.
A vehicle key to the Buick was recovered from the Audi A7 where Claggett was sitting during the traffic stop.
Claggett is prohibited from owning firearms after a felony conviction from a November 17, 2011, incident where Maryland State Police arrested Tevon Anthony Middleton, 22, of Barstow, Travis Arnaz Dawkins, 22, of Prince Frederick and Devonte Saquan Claggett, 19, of Port Republic. A search of Claggett’s vehicle revealed two handguns. None of the subjects were willingly claiming ownership of the handguns, however, queries through NCIC and MGUN databases revealed that both handguns were involved in theft cases handled by Calvert County Sheriff’s Department.
The same day police executed all search and seizure warrants, Buck was found to be involved in another criminal investigation involving stolen Bingo cards/pull tabs which amounted to over $100,000. Buck has no active charges in this case.
