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.

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.
