LAUREL, Md. — A 43-year-old Waldorf woman is facing felony and misdemeanor charges in Calvert County after authorities allege she was found with a controlled dangerous substance and multiple forms of paraphernalia during a May 1, 2025, incident.
Amy Lynn Letcher, of Waldorf, was arrested and charged with possession with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance (CDS), distribution or possession with intent to distribute a counterfeit substance, and possession of CDS not cannabis. In addition, she faces four separate counts of possessing drug paraphernalia.
Letcher was taken into custody by a deputy with the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office and held without bond pending a bail review. At her May 5 appearance, Judge Michelle R. Saunders granted her release on a $10,000 unsecured personal bond. The case remains active and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on June 4, 2025, in Courtroom 1 of the Calvert District Court.
Court filings allege Letcher was found in possession of suspected narcotics and various implements used for distribution or ingestion. The charges include allegations that she knowingly possessed and intended to distribute both actual and counterfeit substances. The maximum penalty for possession with intent to distribute CDS is 20 years in prison and a $15,000 fine. The additional felony charge related to counterfeit substances carries a potential sentence of up to five years and a $15,000 fine. Each of the misdemeanor paraphernalia and possession counts carries a maximum sentence of up to four years in jail and additional fines.
Letcher is being represented by the Calvert County Public Defender’s Office. She previously waived her right to an attorney at her initial appearance but secured representation by May 6, according to court records. Prosecutors from the Calvert County State’s Attorney’s Office are handling the case.
No further information regarding the specific circumstances of her arrest or the nature of the substances has been made public as of press time.
