A Severn man was arrested Tuesday after police found over $26,000 worth of cocaine and other drug-related items in his home off of Golden Pine Circle, according to Anne Arundel County Police.

Special Enforcement detectives arrested Roger Brown, 34, as he was exiting his vehicle near Quarterfield Road and Parke West Drive in Glen Burnie after receiving a tip in February that he was distributing cocaine.

After arresting Brown, police conducted a search of two separate residences at the 400 block of Pamela Road in Glen Burnie and the 7800 block of Golden Pine Circle in Severn.

After searching both locations and conducting further investigations, detectives found about 267.18 grams of crack cocaine and cocaine HCL (powder) worth about $26,718, according to police.

In addition to the drugs, police seized about $330, a 2001 Dodge Durango and a 2005 Acura TL.

Brown, a resident of the Golden Pine Circle residence, is charged as a drug kingpin, and was also charged with two counts of distribution of crack cocaine and other cocaine possession charges.
