ODENTON, MD — Two men were arrested early Friday after police officers were tipped off to a stolen car in the Odenton area, authorities said.
Anne Arundel County Police said in a release that officials were alerted to the stolen Black Infiniti Q50 just after around 12:15 a.m. The vehicle was initially spotted near the intersection of Telegraph Road and Crossroads Drive.
The men were identified as 21-year-old Joseph Gbolumah Dumwana Jr., of Hanover, and Donald Amechi Igwebuike Jr., a 25-year-old man from Silver Spring.
Police said the car was found in the 8300 block of Telegraph Road and that both Dumwana and Igwebuike were taken into custody after they were seen leaving the vehicle.
Igwebuike was arrested with a 9mm Glock handgun in his possession, police said. It was found with a 17-round magazine and 32 9mm rounds.
A search of the car returned two digital scales and three bottles that contained suspected MDMA, an unknown green syrup and one labeled Promethazine Hydrochloride Oral Solution. The items were passed on for testing.
Authorities said both men were charged.
Available court records show Igwebuike is facing five misdemeanor charges, including gun-related offenses and theft of under $1,000. He was released on his own recognizance and has a listed trial date for Jan. 8, 2027.
Court records were not immediately available for Dumwana.
