On Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2018, St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s
Office Patrol Officers made contact with an adult female who advised she had
been using an ATM located at the 13000 block of Point Lookout Road in Ridge,
Maryland. As the female completed the transaction and was walking back to her
vehicle, she was confronted by an unknown black male armed with a handgun who
demanded money.
After the unknown male was able to obtain an undisclosed
amount of currency, he fled the scene on foot.
The investigation was continued by the St. Mary’s County
Criminal Investigations Division (CID). Investigatory leads were developed and
Victor John Lee Scottland, 30 years old of Ridge, was developed as a suspect. A
search and seizure warrant was executed at a Scottland’s home and items of evidentiary
value were located.
At the time, Scottland had two open warrants for his arrest
through Calvert County and Charles County and was taken into custody without
incident. After an interview with a detective, Scottland was charged with the
following criminal violations:
-Armed Robbery
-Robbery
-Second-Degree Assault
-Theft less than $100
Scottland remains incarcerated at the St. Mary’s County
Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown pending a bond review.
Anyone with further information pertaining to this
investigation is asked to contact Detective Melissa Hulse at 301-475-4200, ext
