Capitol Heights resident Marlon Davon Murray, 25, was arrested at approximately 10:40 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 20, when a patrol officer was inspecting a vehicle in the 12300 block of Billingsley Road in Waldorf.
During the inspection, officials said that suspected marijuana was recovered from Murray, and a semi-automatic weapon was located inside his vehicle.
Officials noted that the amount of marijuana seized was only a civil violation and did not merit criminal charges.
Murray was charged with illegal possession of a loaded handgun in a vehicle and illegally transporting a firearm in a vehicle.
He was later released from the Charles County Detention Center and is scheduled to make a court appearance at a later date.
