Dangerous drug dealer arrested, released within hours
EDGEWOOD, MD – Andrew Styron Jr., 35, of Nottingham, Maryland, was arrested on October 6 by detectives from the Harford County Drug Task Force after investigations into drug trafficking activity. The operation was supported by the Special Response Team.
In August, detectives received a tip regarding an individual distributing controlled dangerous substances in Harford County. They identified Styron through surveillance conducted at his residence in the 8000 block of Sandpiper Circle throughout September.
On October 6, an undercover detective arranged a meeting for a narcotics transaction at the 2100 block of Emmorton Park Road in Edgewood. Styron was arrested without incident upon arrival at the location.
A search of Styron’s vehicle and residence uncovered approximately 1,420 grams of fentanyl powder, 275 grams of fentanyl capsules, 180 grams of crack cocaine, and 720 grams of cutting agents. Authorities also seized over $550,000 in cash linked to the case.
After his arrest, Styron was taken to the Harford County Detention Center and charged with multiple offenses related to drug possession and distribution. He was released shortly thereafter on a $25,000 bond.
The Harford County Sheriff’s Office obtained an additional warrant for Styron, leading to his arrest again on October 13 with help from the Baltimore County Police Department. He remains held in Baltimore County without bond.
Sheriff Jeffrey R. Gahler stated that the release of Styron shortly after his arrest is a result of Maryland’s laws impacting public safety. “Our deputies risk their lives to protect this community, but the court system sends a message that it does not value the safety of the community,” he said.
Styron’s brief tenure on the streets raises concerns about the implications of legal policies affecting law enforcement efforts.
