Prince George’s County Police officers arrested a GW housekeeping employee Friday for possession of ammunition and more than 23 pounds of marijuana, citing him as a “known gang member.”

Leon Flythe, 28, was arrested for felony possession with intent to distribute large amounts of marijuana at his apartment in the 3500 block of Parkway Terrace Drive, according to the Prince George’s County Police Department information website. Officers also found $4,000 in cash.

“Mr. Flythe has been placed on an unpaid leave pending the disposition of his recent arrest,” University spokeswoman Candace Smith said. She did not return a request for comment on which campus buildings Flythe had access to or the background check process for housekeeping employees.

His Maryland court record showed eight offenses prior to Friday’s bust, including three criminal cases and one domestic violence case, according to the state’s judiciary website.

University spokeswoman Michelle Sherrard declined to comment on how long Flythe has been employed by the University.

The Prince George’s County Department of Corrections held Flythe on a $60,000 bond until his Saturday release, a receptionist for the county’s third police district, which oversees Flythe’s Suitland, Md. apartment, said. She declined to provide her name or comment on what gang Flythe is associated with.
