A multi-county ATV theft ring and drug distribution bust led to the arrest of Demetrius Charles Dorsey, a 23-year-old man from La Plata.

Law enforcement agencies collaborated to arrest Dorsey, executing a search warrant at his residence where they found over 100 grams of cannabis and drug distribution materials. Dorsey was also reported for reckless driving, posing a risk to other motorists. Detectives advised caution for online sellers, recommending steps like checking IDs, holding onto keys until payment, and setting clear expectations for test drives.
