On Nov. 1, 2018, St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Deputies
arrested and charged a suspect in the robbery of the Subway restaurant in
California, Maryland.
Christian McFarland Phillips, 35, of Lexington Park was
arrested and charged with Armed Robbery, Theft: $100 to under $1,500 and
Resist/Interfere with Arrest by Sheriff’s Deputies. Phillips is currently held
at the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown.
On Oct. 19, 2018, law enforcement officers from the St.
Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Subway restaurant at 22630
Three Notch Road in California for the report of a robbery. Two employees
stated that an unknown male came into the establishment and indicated that he
was in possession of some sort of a weapon. As the employees could not
understand what he was saying, the suspect reached over the counter and took cash
from the register and then fled the area.
Various investigative tools were employed and Phillips was
developed as a suspect. During the investigation, Phillips had an unrelated
warrant for his arrest. On Thursday, Nov. 1, deputies made contact with
Phillips and informed him of the warrant for his arrest. As Detective Cpl.
Melissa Hulse attempted to place his hand behind his back, he pulled away and
began to run. After a very brief foot pursuit, the defendant was apprehended.
