Teen in Custody for Murder of Glenn Dale 17-Year-Old: Police

The Lothian teen sought by police in the murder of a Glenn Dale teenager was arrested Wednesday, according to Prince George’s County Police.

The department on Monday obtained an arrest warrant as it searched for the suspect -- Chet Markland Jarrett Jr., 17, of the 100 block of B Street in Lothian. He’s charged with the murder of Jajuan Mcrae, 17, of Brookstone Terrace in Glenn Dale.
