PIKESVILLE, MD – Maryland State Police said three men face charges after being arrested in connection with a task force investigation into illegal car rallies. Multiple firearms and ammunition were seized during the operation.
According to Maryland State Police, the accused are identified as Malachi James, 21, of Temple Hills; Khadeem George, 20; and Kareem Isaroon, 50, both of Indian Head.

Authorities said James was taken to the Howard County Detention Center and later released. George and Isaroon were transported to the Charles County Detention Center, where George was later released on bond while Isaroon remains held without bond.

On Wednesday, Sept. 3, the task force, with assistance from multiple agencies, executed search warrants at three Prince George’s County residences. Police reported recovering additional firearms in Indian Head, Clinton, and Temple Hills.
