State v. Jeremiah Terrell Bryant, C-08-CR-24-000146
LA PLATA, MD—Tony Covington, State’s Attorney for Charles County, announced that on Friday, August 2, 2024, a Charles County jury, after a 5-day trial, convicted Jeremiah Terrell Bryant, 25, of Armed Robbery and related charges.
On January 9, 2024, detectives with Charles County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Sunoco Gas Mart in Waldorf for the report of a commercial armed robbery. Detectives spoke with a store employee who reported that the suspect, later determined to be Bryant, pointed a semi-automatic handgun at him and took money from the cash register and the employee’s phone.
An investigation revealed that Bryant entered the store, approached the sales counter, and handed the employee a brown plastic shopping bag while simultaneously pointing a handgun at him. Bryant demanded the employee to put money in the bag. When the employee opened the cash register, Bryant reached over the counter and took $494.00 from the cash register. He then left with the cash and the employee’s cell phone. However, Bryant left the plastic bag at the store.
Surveillance video captured the incident, as well as Bryant arriving and leaving in a Mitsubishi Outlander with a broken passenger side mirror. Detectives later located the Mitsubishi Outlander outside of Bryant’s mother’s residence.
The plastic bag Bryant left on the scene was processed and the fingerprints recovered belonged to Bryant. Cell site analysis of Bryant’s cell phone also placed him at the scene of the Armed Robbery.
A sentencing date for Bryant has been set for September 26, 2024. Bryant faces up to 78 years in prison.
