LUSBY, Md. — A Georgia man working on a residential job site in Calvert County is facing multiple felony charges after allegedly sneaking into a private home, walking through the upstairs bedrooms and attempting to steal a PlayStation 5 before ultimately deciding not to because, according to him, he “was working with family.”
Travon Dalonte Washington, 26, of Lithonia, GA, was arrested July 22, 2025, and charged with first-degree burglary, third-degree burglary, fourth-degree dwelling burglary, theft between $100 and $1,500, obstruction and hindering, and making a false statement to law enforcement. Court records indicate Washington was released the same day on an unsecured $2,000 personal bond.
The homeowner reported to police that several workers were outside his Lusby residence at the time of the incident and that he had observed, via interior home surveillance, a man entering his basement and then walking through the main floor — lingering long enough to pick up the PlayStation 5 before ultimately placing it back.
According to law enforcement, the victim had left his back door unlocked so he could communicate with workers who were assisting on an exterior project. However, at no point did he give permission for any individual to enter his home. The caller told authorities he would not have contacted police had the individual simply used the restroom as initially claimed. Instead, he placed the call after reviewing the video, which showed the suspect in multiple rooms, including a bedroom.
Deputies arrived to find four individuals on the property. After locating Washington near the rear of the home, a deputy escorted him around front for questioning. Washington at first provided a false name and claimed to have entered the house to use the bathroom. Upon further questioning, he admitted to looking for a Wi-Fi password inside the home because his phone only works with internet access, and also acknowledged picking up the PlayStation 5 but putting it back.
A sweep of the home found no other suspects. Officers observed the PlayStation on a table by the back door with several disconnected cables. Deputies then reviewed surveillance footage, which showed Washington entering the basement, moving about the house and at one point taking the PlayStation off the table before putting it back and exiting.
Once in custody, Washington was searched. The only items on him were a cellphone, $73 and a vape. Officers left the money and vape with another worker and placed Washington in the back of a marked patrol car. During transport to jail, Washington admitted to using a false name and provided his real name and date of birth. Deputies later learned Washington had two open warrants.
A PlayStation 5 is currently valued at approximately $450.
If convicted, Washington faces a maximum penalty of 20 years for first-degree burglary, 10 years for third-degree burglary, three years for the misdemeanor dwelling charge, five years for theft between $100 and $1,500, and additional time for obstruction and false statement charges.
