On February 5 at 2 a.m., a patrol officer was flagged down in the area of Ell Lane and Route 5 in Waldorf by a person reporting their 2015 Kenworth truck tractor, without the trailer, had been stolen and was actively being tracked through a GPS device. The victim advised that the vehicle was traveling southbound on Route 5. Officers located the truck in the area of Leonardtown Road and Bryantown Road and attempted to initiate a traffic stop; however, the driver refused to stop and continued southbound toward St. Mary’s County. Deputies with the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office were notified and assisted by controlling intersections and deploying stop sticks, which disabled the truck near Friendship School Road. The driver was arrested without further incident. The investigation determined that the truck had been stolen from a service center parking lot located in Waldorf. The driver, Bereket Eshetu Beyene, age 27, of Silver Spring, Maryland, was charged with motor vehicle theft and traffic violations. On February 5, a judge ordered Beyene could be released from the Charles County Detention Center on a $5,000 bond.

This doesn't appear to be a common name used in Silver Springs, MD. Perhaps 1 of the recent arrivals welcomed by the last administration?
