A man is wanted out of southern Maryland and facing several weapons charges and an assault charge after authorities found 80 firearms in his home, including 3D-printed weapons.
The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division responded to a home in Lexington Park Thursday night about a domestic assault incident, the sheriff’s office said in a news release .
The suspect, Jerod Adam Taylor, fled the scene before authorities got there but during their investigation, deputies found multiple guns, which Taylor is not allowed to have due to prior convictions. Taylor is also wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant for theft, the sheriff’s office said.
The next day, detectives from the Criminal Investigations Division searched the home and nearby vehicles, the sheriff’s office said in its news release.
Calling their findings “an extensive collection of weapons,” authorities said they found multiple 3D-printed “ghost guns” without serial numbers, semi-automatic rifles, handguns, shotguns, an AK-47 semi-automatic rifle and more.
