https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/local-news/maryland/prince-georges-county/hyattsville-police-department-details-2019-encounter-with-kilmar-abrego-garcia/HYATTSVILLE, Md. (DC News Now) In a news release published Monday, the City of Hyattsville Police Department (HPD) said that at no time did its officers identify Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia as a member of any gang.
HPD said that on March 28, 2019, a detective saw four men standing outside of a store in the 3300 block of East-West Highway. That detective saw them seem to hide something under a car, so he approached them.
During the encounter, the detective recognized one of the men as a known member of MS-13. This individual was not Abrego Garcia, HPD said.
The detective searched the men and found 28 grams of suspected marijuana on Abrego Garcia. HPD seized the suspected marijuana but did not file any criminal charges.
HPD said that during an MS-13-related homicide investigation in Prince Georges County, its detective notified the Prince Georges County Police Department (PGPD) about the four men who were detained and told PGPD that one of those men was a known MS-13 member.
