State’s Attorney Jaymi Sterling announced today that Robert Marcus Goldring, 48, of Lusby, Maryland, was sentenced to 40 years in prison with 18 years of active incarceration for possession with intent to distribute cocaine as a subsequent offender.
On December 11, 2024, deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office performed a traffic check near Pegg Road and Liberty Street in Lexington Park. Goldring was a passenger in the vehicle. After a K-9 detected the odor of controlled hazardous narcotics, deputies searched Goldring and found two bags containing more than 100 grams of cocaine.
“When a person returns to drug trafficking despite previous convictions, protecting the community necessitates severe punishment. “This is the defendant’s seventh conviction for possession with intent to distribute narcotics, indicating a dangerous and persistent pattern of criminal behavior,” said State’s Attorney Jaymi Sterling. “Holding repeat drug dealers accountable is essential to disrupting the cycle of addiction, violence, and loss that illegal narcotics create.”
Senior Assistant State’s Attorney Lisa Ridge, Chief of Narcotics, prosecuted the case on behalf of the people of St. Mary’s County.
Corporal Travis Wimberly of the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office was the primary investigator.
The Honorable Amy Lorenzini presided over the case.
