CHARLES COUNTY, Md. ( DC News Now ) — Police arrested a Charles County man in Mississippi months after he escaped custody and failed to appear in court.

The Charles County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) said that 40-year-old Mack Lee Cleckley of Waldorf was arrested in April 2024. He was charged with possession with the intent to distribute drugs after detectives investigated him for drug trafficking.

CCSO said that a judge released him on electric monitoring, but Cleckley cut off the monitoring device and left the area. Officials issued a bench warrant when he failed to appear in court for his case.

Officers tracked him to Gulfport, Miss., where police arrested him without incident on June 24.

He was charged on his federal probation violation warrant. Officials are holding Celckley at the Pearl River County Detention Center until he will be extradited back to Charles County.
