TRAPPE — The Talbot County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division has arrested a suspect involved in a March 23 incident on Howell Point Road.

Yahjay N. Greene, 22, of Easton, has been charged with home invasion, kidnapping, first degree assault, robbery, armed robbery, reckless endangerment, theft, firearm use in a felony/violent crime and conspiracies to commit those crimes.

On March 23, at about 4 a.m., deputies responded to the area of Howell Point Road near Hunter Lane in Trappe for multiple reports of shots fired. When deputies arrived in the area, they encountered an individual walking along Howell Point Road.

Investigation revealed the individual was the victim of a kidnapping and armed robbery which started at a residence on Main Street in Trappe. The individual reported being forced into the vehicle at gunpoint and driven from the house. The victim was able to get away from his assailants on Howell Point Road where deputies eventually contacted him.

Investigators with the Talbot County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation continued to work this case and develop evidence and information. Investigators identified Greene as being involved in this incident and obtained an arrest warrant for him, contacting the U.S. Marshal’s Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force for assistance in locating the suspect. An extensive investigation was conducted to locate Greene and he was arrested without incident in Sykesville on April 25.

Greene was transported to the Talbot County Central Booking Facility where he had his initial appearance before a District Court Commissioner. He was held without bond at the Talbot County Detention Center.

The sheriff’s office was assisted by members of the U.S. Marshal’s Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, Federal Bureau of Investigation and members of the Cambridge Police Department.

This investigation is ongoing and anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Sgt. J. Aita at 410-822-1020.
