Javonte Christopher King, 23, of Mechanicsville
On Tuesday, October 3, 2017 Troopers from the Leonardtown Barrack conducted a search and seizure warrant at 27912 Budds Creek Road, in Mechanicsville and 46641 Wineberry Lane, in Lexington Park.
Since early in 2017 the Maryland State Police Criminal Enforcement Division (CED) central and south, began an investigation into the sale of heroin within the St. Mary’s County. During the course of the investigation CED investigators were able to identify the Dealer as, Javonte Christopher King, 23, of Mechanicsville.
During the course of the investigation King sold what he stated was heroin to an undercover police officer on multiple occasions. The controlled dangerous substance King sold the undercover officer was taken to the Maryland State Police Forensics Lab, where it was tested for its chemical makeup. The alleged heroin that King had sold came back as mostly crushed up caffeine pills, however there was a slight indication of Carfentanil. The lab technician advised the indication of the Carfentanil was so small that they could not 100% confirm the narcotic was present.
Troopers obtained enough probable cause to execute the search and seizure warrant on the two addresses in Mechanicville and Lexington Park.
