At approximately 5:25 p.m., officers “responded to the 6800 block of Walker Mill Road. An adult male advised officers he had been struck by a car while walking on a sidewalk toward Addison Road,” the release says.

“The driver turned around and came back to strike the victim a second time. His injuries are considered minor. A second victim was located in the 1000 block of Addison Road South. This victim, an adult male, had also been struck by a car,” the release says. “His injuries are also considered minor. An hour later, at approximately 6:35 pm, officers responded to a stabbing at a gas station in the 9100 block of Annapolis Road in Lanham. The victim, an adult male, suffered critical injuries.”

According to the release, detectives “were able to identify the car used in each of these crimes – a dark-colored Chevrolet Malibu. The car was tracked and located in Baltimore. At approximately 10:50 p.m., with the assistance of the Baltimore Police Department, PGPD officers observed the suspect enter the car. A traffic stop was conducted in the 2300 block of Washington Street. Officers took Stallings-Brown into custody and transported her back to Prince George’s County. The car she was driving had significant front-end damage and a smashed windshield.”

The release says that investigators in each area “worked aggressively to interview victims and witnesses and attempt to locate any video or images of the suspect. Investigators were able to determine the crimes were all linked and committed by one female suspect. Within six hours of her first crime, PGPD detectives identified, located and arrested her in Baltimore.”

Chief Malik Aziz said in the release: “I am proud of each of these officers. They worked with a determination to arrest the suspect who would so brazenly come into our community and cause harm to six victims. We wish each of these victims well in their recoveries.”
