ATTEMPTED ARMED ROBBERY/FIRST
DEGREE ASSAULT – On October 17, 2014, Deputy Beasley responded to the Burger
King located on Great Mills Road in Lexington Park, for a reported armed
robbery. The victim, an employee of the restaurant, reported an unknown suspect
drove up to the drive thru window after ordering food. The suspect suddenly
pointed a handgun at the victim and demanded money. The employee ducked down
behind the counter and alerted the manager. The suspect, described as a white
male operating a small red pick-up truck, immediately left the scene.
A short time later, Sergeant

the description provided by the victim. Sergeant Safford stopped the truck on
Spring Valley Drive. Detective Corporal David Alexander from the Criminal
Investigations Division responded to the vehicle stop and additional
investigation was conducted. The driver, identified as Jake Travis Marble, 29,
of no fixed address, was subsequently placed under arrest and transported to
the St. Mary’ s County Detention Center. He was charged with Attempted Armed
