CHARLES COUNTY, Md. - A convicted felon was arrested with guns and drugs following a traffic stop in Waldorf, the Charles County Sheriff’s Office says.
At 3:15 p.m. on Jan. 5, deputies made a traffic stop in the area of Berry Road and Streamview Drive related to a drug investigation.
As the deputies approached the car, they saw the driver, 25-year-old Jimon Khaleel Williams, with what appeared to be a possible firearm in his pants. When they asked Williams to get out of the car, he suddenly sped off, fleeing in the direction of Marsh Hawk Deive,
