On December 20, detectives from the St. Mary’s Bureau of Investigations arrested Justin Xavier Varlack, 23 years of age of Leonardtown, for First Degree Assault.
The charges stemmed from a shooting incident on Joan Drive, in California, which occurred on November 4, wherein the suspect fired rounds from a handgun at an occupied residence. The incident resulted in several search and seizure warrants being conducted and stolen firearms were recovered.
Varlack was held pending a bond hearing with the District Court Commissioner.
