Patrol Officers Link Suspect to Theft Case after Responding to Hit and Run Call

On June 29 at 11:27 a.m., a male suspect entered a jewelry store inside St. Charles Town Center and asked to view a necklace. After the employee handed it to him, the suspect fled on foot with the necklace. As he ran through the parking lot, a witness indicated the suspect was struck by a car that did not remain on the scene. Despite being injured, the suspect continued running and escaped the immediate area. While officers were investigating the theft, they received a call for an injured person in the 3800 block of Northgate Place in Waldorf. Callers indicated the individual had been struck by a vehicle. When officers arrived, they recognized the man as the suspect from the theft; he was wearing the same clothing seen on surveillance footage. Kevin Williams, Jr., 34, of Waldorf, was transported to a hospital where he was treated and released for injuries sustained after being struck by the car. He was charged with theft. On July 1, Williams was released by the courts on electronic monitoring.
