Police make large Molly bust in Gaithersburg


Montgomery County police have arrested a Germantown man for possession of "Molly," also known as methamphetamine/MDMA. Quinnel Martin, 36, was driving a gold Toyota Camry along an unspecified block of W. Diamond Avenue in Gaithersburg at 1:42 PM on February 15, 2023. Officers noted Martin allegedly committing a moving violation, and attempted to make a traffic stop.

Police say that Martin did not immediately comply with the officers' attempt to pull him over. Martin then allegedly struck a white Toyota RAV 4, and a tow truck. Police say that at this point, Martin bailed out of his vehicle and attempted to flee on foot. 

Officers engaged in a foot pursuit, ultimately apprehending Martin. They allegedly found a large amount of Molly in Martin's possession, but a police department press release did not specify if it was on his person or in the Camry. Martin also allegedly had an unspecified amount of cash.

Martin was arrested and transported to the MCPD Central Processing Unit. He has been charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance with the intent to distribute, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and obstructing and hindering a police investigation. A database search determined that Martin also had multiple outstanding warrants for first degree assault, witness intimidation and possession of a controlled dangerous substance. Martin's mugshot has not been made available.
