From the desk of Sheriff Bryson Meyers:
On August 10, 2025, Detectives with the Narcotics Task Force, Detectives with the Criminal Investigation Division, and Patrol Deputies stopped a vehicle along Lyndale Road, Oakland. A passenger in the vehicle, Nicholas Alan DeWitt, 36 years old, Mountain Lake Park, was arrested on the strength of an arrest warrant for Distribution of Methamphetamine, and Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine. A search of the vehicle revealed paraphernalia with fentanyl residue.
The arrest stems from a 3-month-long investigation conducted by Detectives with the Narcotics Task Force into the illegal distribution of controlled dangerous substances.
A subsequent search warrant was executed by Detectives and Deputies at an apartment along A Street, Mountain Lake Park. As a result of the search, a quantity of Methamphetamine, Fentanyl, and drug paraphernalia was recovered.
The following individuals were arrested and charged for controlled dangerous substances violations: Tonya June McDaniel, 51 years old, Oakland, Possession of Fentanyl, and Possession of Methamphetamine; Rikki Leandrea Bolyard, 33 years old, Mountain Lake Park, Possession of Fentanyl, and Possession of Methamphetamine; Zackery Lee Schissler, 26 years old, Mountain Lake Park, Possession of Fentanyl, and Possession of Methamphetamine. DeWitt was subsequently charged with Possession of Fentanyl as well.
All individuals were transported to the Garrett County Detention Center, where they are currently being held awaiting a bond hearing.
Sheriff Meyers stated, “Detectives will continue to work diligently to remove illegal drugs from the streets of Garrett County. These types of investigations are continuing, and more arrests are forthcoming. I commend the Detectives and Deputies for their hard work and dedication, keeping Garrett County a safe place to live and raise a family".
