On February 9, 2018, deputies
from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office responded to St. Mary’s College,
located in St. Mary’s City, for the report of an armed robbery. Deputies learned at approximately 3:30PM, four
suspects entered the victim’s dormitory room, and demanded property. One of the
suspects displayed a firearm and the victim was physically assaulted during the
confrontation.
Detectives from the Criminal
Investigations Division continued the investigation and identified four
suspects who are students at the college; Marquis Xavier Bullett, age 18, from
Columbia, MD, Kevin Louis Makle, age 18, from Finksburg, MD, Judge Clifford
