Anne Arundel County detectives say a Glen Burnie home turned into the latest target in an ongoing Eastern District investigation, ending with two residents in handcuffs and more than $36,000 in cash off the street. The March 5 search of a Forestdale Avenue residence also turned up suspected narcotics and drug packaging materials that police say point to distribution activity.
What police say they found
According to the Anne Arundel County Police, detectives with the Eastern District Strategic Patrol Team executed the search warrant with help from the Northern District SPT and the department’s Quick Response Team. Before officers went inside the home, they detained a male suspect at the Royal Farms on Camp Meade Road. When they entered, they encountered a woman coming out of a second‑floor bathroom who allegedly tried to flush several large bags of suspected cocaine.
Police say the search turned up 14.71 grams of suspected cocaine, 50.55 grams of suspected pressed fentanyl pills, 35 grams of suspected psilocybin mushrooms, nine suspected Suboxone strips, about nine grams of suspected alprazolam (roughly 29 pills), two digital scales, packaging materials, and more than $36,000 in U.S. currency. Investigators describe the combination of drugs, scales, packaging, and cash as consistent with illegal drug distribution.
Suspects identified
Local reporting identified the two arrested residents as 30‑year‑old David Angelo Figlia and 24‑year‑old Jade Eve Geraldine Dufour, both of Glen Burnie, and said they were charged in connection with the investigation, as reported by FOX45. The station’s coverage echoed police in noting that the seized scales, packaging materials, and large amount of currency line up with alleged distribution activity rather than simple personal use.
Why the seizure matters
Pressed fentanyl pills and counterfeit tablets have been tied to waves of fatal overdoses across Maryland, so getting those pills off the street remains a public‑safety priority even as law enforcement and public‑health strategies continue to evolve. State officials say overall overdose deaths fell in 2025 while continuing to emphasize that fentanyl remains central to prevention and treatment efforts, according to the Maryland Department of Health.
Legal notes
Anne Arundel County Police said both suspects were “placed under arrest and charged accordingly” in their press release. Formal charging documents and any arraignment dates will be handled by the Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney’s Office. The department’s release did not include bail information or court scheduling details, and court records are expected to provide the next public updates.
