On May 2, a 19-year-old Waldorf man was walking along a wooded path at the end of Dartmouth Court in Waldorf when he was approached by a group of people, one of whom brandished a handgun and robbed him of his money and cigarettes.
The victim fled the scene to a nearby residence and called 9-1-1. Charles County Sheriff’s officers responded and located a group walking along Dartmouth Court. They identified one of the group members, Hubert Darell Shanklin, 24, of Waldorf, as the suspect who robbed the victim.
Shanklin was arrested and charged with armed robbery and theft valued at less than $500. The victim was not injured. Officer W. Jackson investigated.
