County man named in firearm possession indictment

A Waldorf man is among seven people named in a press release sent from the Office of the Attorney General Wednesday regarding recent indictments for illicit possession of firearms.

In 2017, 34-year-old Robert Lance Glorius was convicted of first-degree burglary in Charles County Circuit Court, according to the release. The investigation revealed that on April 19 of this year he allegedly possessed a firearm in Charles County.

“Under state law, if a person is convicted of a disqualifying crime, the person is prohibited from possessing a firearm of any kind, regulated or non-regulated,” the release says. “A disqualifying crime is defined as: (1) a crime of violence, (2) a violation classified as a felony, (3) a violation classified as a misdemeanor that carries a statutory penalty of more than two years. If a person is convicted of any of these of fenses, he or she is prohibited from possessing a firearm.”

“These are individuals that have already been convicted of crimes that prohibit them from owning a firearm,” Attorney General Brian E. Frosh said in the release. “They knowingly lied on their application and illegally attempted to hide their prior criminal history to purchase firearms.”

Online court records indicate Glorius was indicted in Charles County Aug. 23. He will appear in circuit court for a preliminary hearing Sept. 20, and is scheduled to go to trial Dec. 18.
