Team members on a special operation assignment with St. Maryโ€™s County Sheriffโ€™s Office, along with Patrol Deputies responded to the area of Three Notch Road and St. Andrewโ€™s Church Road for the report of a vehicle, coming from Calvert County, refusing to stop.

The vehicle attempted to strike a Calvert County Deputy in the area of Kingston Creek Road.

The Suspect, Walter Michael Keene (Age 57 of Mechanicsville) entered St. Maryโ€™s County with only two (2) operational tires.

Further deflation devices were deployed at the intersection of Three Notch Road and St. Andrewโ€™s Church Road. The remaining tires were flattened and the vehicle stopped.

Keene, who was intoxicated, refused to exit the vehicle and a short struggle ensued before he was removed from the vehicle and placed into custody.

He was transported by Calvert County Deputies back to their jurisdiction. Additional charges in St. Maryโ€™s County are pending a Stateโ€™s Attorneyโ€™s Office review.
