Livingston of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office initiated a traffic stop on a 2001 Mercedes Benz along southbound Maryland Route 4 in the area of the Radio Shack shopping center.  The operator had an open warrant and had eluded police earlier in the morning.  The vehicle stopped and upon Dfc. Livingston approaching a female in the car put her hands up and told Dfc. Livingston she wanted to get out.   At that moment, the operator of the car fled the traffic stop.  The vehicle turned right onto West Dares Beach Road.  The vehicle continued west on West Dares Beach Road to the intersection of Prince Frederick Boulevard.  The operator disregarded the red signal at the intersection and drove south on Prince Frederick Boulevard.  The operator of the vehicle then failed to stop at the stop sign and turned right to travel west on Maryland Route 231.  The vehicle continued westbound on Rt. 231 disregarding the red light at J.W. Williams Road.  The vehicle continued west on Rt. 231 to German Chapel Road where it made a left.  The vehicle was travelling at an extremely high rate of speed on German Chapel Road. Deputies were unable to keep up with the vehicle and lost sight of it. The personnel in the area knew that the vehicle had not made it to Rt. 4 from German Chapel  and a general perimeter was set up.  

Once deputies began to back track, the vehicle and the obviously shaken female were located near the end of Dan Bowen Road in the driveway of a private residence.  The male subject had exited the vehicle and had run into a large wooded area.  Multiple units from the Sheriff’s Office and the Maryland State Police established a more specific perimeter and a search was conducted by Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Dfc. Morder and his K9 partner “WOLF”.  MSP Trooper 7 also assisted with searching the area from above.  A NIXLE was also sent out to alert citizens of the police activity in the area.  After approximately one hour passed the perimeter was broken down, the vehicle was stored and the bulk of the units cleared the scene. 

At approximately 11:10 a.m. a citizen from Thunder Hill Road contacted the Sheriff’s Office and advised there was a male subject matching the suspect’s description walking in the neighborhood.  CCSO deputies and MSP personnel responded to the area and located the suspect walking at the intersection of Rt. 231 and Thunder hill Road. The suspect was taken into custody without incident.  The subject was identified as Matthew Taylor Brann, a white male born December 23, 1990.  In addition to being served with the outstanding warrants for first degree burglary, malicious destruction of property and violation of probation.  Suspect Brann will also charged with fleeing and eluding and numerous traffic charges.

SHERIFF'S OFFICE HONORED BY DEPT. OF DEFENSE FOR EXTRAORDINARY SUPPORT

Maryland Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), a Department of Defense (DoD) office, announced today Calvert County Sheriff’s Office was honored with an Above and Beyond Award in recognition of extraordinary support of its employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserve.

 “The ESGR Above and Beyond Award was created by ESGR to publicly recognize American employers providing extraordinary patriotic support and cooperation to their employees, who like the citizen warriors before them, have answered their nation’s call to serve, said Jean Hulet, Maryland ESGR state chair. “Supportive employers are critical to maintaining the strength and readiness of the nation’s Guard and Reserve units.”

Calvert County Sheriff’s Office joins thousands of American employers who have reviewed and amended their current human resources policies to ensure compliance with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). Many employers provide support far beyond what USERRA requires to include pay differential to offset the loss of wages, and extension of health care benefits which complement coverage provided by the military when their employees are mobilized.

The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office is the primary law enforcement agency for Calvert County. Their mission is to protect and serve the citizens by enforcing the laws of the land.

ESGR seeks to foster a culture in which all employers support and value the employment and military service of members of the National Guard and Reserve in the United States. ESGR facilitates and promotes a cooperative culture of employer support for National Guard and Reserve service by developing and advocating mutually beneficial initiatives, recognizing outstanding employer support, increasing awareness of applicable laws and policies, resolving potential conflicts between employers and their service members, and acting as the employers’ principal advocate within DoD. Paramount to ESGR's mission is encouraging employment of Guardsmen and Reservists who bring integrity, global perspective and proven leadership to the civilian workforce. 

For more information about ESGR outreach programs or volunteer opportunities, call 1-800-336-4590 or visit www.ESGR.mil.
