PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. – On January 30, 2026, Samuel Giles, 55, of Washington, D.C., entered a guilty plea to robbery in Calvert County Circuit Court and received a sentence of 5 years incarceration in the Maryland Division of Corrections.
A co-defendant, Darnell Marquis Atchison, also of D.C., previously pleaded guilty to the same offense and received 5 years of active incarceration.
The convictions arose from an incident that occurred on May 4, 2025. On that date, two masked men entered the Town Center Market in Dunkirk and accosted the store clerk.
They then stole boxes of cigarettes and rolls of quarters and fled the store. Ultimately, Giles and Atchison were identified as the perpetrators by Calvert County Sheriff’s detectives and arrested in D.C.
This case was prosecuted by Senior Assistant State’s Attorney Christopher J. Monte.
