Following an investigation into multiple attempted and successful vehicle break-ins and a commercial burglary at a Leonardtown business, detectives from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division have arrested an adult and a juvenile. A search-and-seizure warrant was served Thursday, May 21, 2026, at a residence in the 24000 block of McIntosh Road in Hollywood. Nathaniel Warren Shaklee, 19, was arrested and charged in connection with the crimes. The second suspect, a juvenile, was charged through custodial apprehension. In accordance with legal protections for minors, juveniles are not publicly identified by law enforcement agencies. On May 12, deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office investigated a vehicle break-in in the Leonardtown area that resulted in the theft of a Kel-Tec .40-caliber rifle, two magazines, ammunition, and a hard case. The suspects were located and, following a foot pursuit, the firearm and related accessories were recovered; however, the suspects evaded apprehension. Deputies subsequently determined the same suspects were also connected to additional attempted vehicle break-ins reported in the area that same day. On May 14, deputies responded to Brudergarten Bar in Leonardtown in response to a report of a commercial burglary. Video surveillance showed the suspects damaging cash registers and stealing alcohol from the business. Shaklee and the juvenile have each been charged with second-degree burglary; fourth-degree burglary-storehouse; eight counts of rogue and vagabond with intent to commit theft from a vehicle; theft scheme: $1,500 to under $25,000; theft: $100 to under $1,500; and theft less than $100.
