UPDATE 10/3/2024 @ 4:30 pm: On October 2, 2024, deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office arrested three individuals following a vehicle pursuit and subsequent search. Among the arrested were Davione Syheme Mason, 23, of Lexington Park, who was wanted on an outstanding warrant for attempted second-degree murder and other serious charges, and Tyquan Samuel Wills, 25, also of Lexington Park, who now faces multiple charges stemming from drug possession and a hit-and-run incident.
At approximately 4:10 p.m., deputies observed a gold GMC Yukon, in which Mason was a passenger, traveling southbound on MD Route 235. Mason, known to law enforcement, had an active warrant for his arrest on charges including attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, reckless endangerment, illegal possession of a firearm, and possession of a loaded handgun.
According to deputies, the GMC suddenly accelerated, striking the rear of another vehicle before fleeing the scene. Deputies attempted a traffic stop, but the driver, identified as Wills, failed to comply, leading to a pursuit. Wills reportedly drove recklessly, at one point reaching speeds of 100 miles per hour and ignoring multiple traffic signals.
Mason was taken into custody on his outstanding warrant, which includes charges for attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, and multiple firearms-related offenses.
The chase ended when Wills lost control of the vehicle on Old Rolling Road in California, Maryland, and the GMC crashed into the front yard of a private residence. Both Wills and Mason fled the vehicle on foot.
Mason was apprehended after a brief search of the surrounding residential area. He was taken into custody without further incident.
Wills, however, attempted to evade capture by hiding in a nearby business parking lot inside a Chrysler sedan driven by Azse Ktemaque Hawkins, 36, of Prince Frederick. Hawkins was stopped by deputies and arrested for driving under the influence.
A subsequent search of Wills revealed that he was in possession of a significant amount of suspected cocaine, along with drug paraphernalia, including plastic bags and a digital scale, both commonly associated with drug distribution.
Wills faces the following charges:
- CDS Possession with Intent to Distribute
- CDS Possession – Not Marijuana
- CDS Possession of Paraphernalia (two counts)
- Fleeing and Eluding by Vehicle
- Fleeing and Eluding by Foot
- Hit-and-Run with Property Damage (two counts)
- Various related traffic violations, including reckless driving and failure to stop at the scene of an accident.
Hawkins was arrested and charged with Driving Under the Influence.
The three suspects were transported to the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown.
