On Thursday, March 9, 2017, Deputy First Class V. Pontorno and Corporal J. Graves of the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office were in the area of 21000 Great Mills Road in Lexington Park when they heard yelling coming from the parking lot in front of the Quick Stop.
Deputies observed James Brian Thompson, 21, and John Eugene Otto, 21, both of Lexington Park, on the ground fighting.
