Evans Smacked Officers During Arrest,
2nd Time this Week Clocking Cops After
Blowup in Lawyer's Office
CHARLOTTE HALL ( Sept. 8, 2005) --- Dennis Martin Evans, a one time drug kingpin in St. Mary's County during the mid-eighties, was arrested today for violating a court order to leave his wife alone as a condition of being being let out on bail on an array of other charges.
 According to Lt. Daniel Alioto, Evans was arrested after he caused a disturbance at his attorney's office and assaulted deputies who were called to the scene.  Evans, who owned a store in Lexington Park and operated a heating and air conditioning business, was subdued by police using a Taser gun after the turmoil in the Lexington Park office of Sawyer and Myerberg. 
Evans was wanted for stalking his estranged wife, say police, and was also charged with assault and was jailed but let out by a District Court Commissioner on personal recognizance.  After being out of jail he allegedly once again stalked his wife and deputies and troopers found him today. 
Troopers Malaspina and Nims, part of the State Police and St. Mary's Sheriff's joint investigation team, along with Deputies Clay Safford and William Raddatz made the arrest.
Today, after being arrested, Evans reportedly began kicking at the windows of the police car and assaulted the officers, who subdued him once more.
Evans, the grandson of the founder of Evans Seafood, the late Bugs Evans, went to prison for distribution of cocaine after he led detectives on a chase across a cornfield with a kilo of cocaine in 1989. He has had other arrests for DWI and for possession of a handgun, say police.
Evans served approximately five years in prison and exited his jail cell for life as a reformed person free of drugs and selling used cars in Lexington Park, as he once told ST. MARY'S TODAY.  Friends say that Evans had paid for numerous persons to attend substance rehab centers and had cleaned up himself and that his current troubles stem from a tumultuous breakup of his marriage and arguments over money and property.
Along with Greg Harris, who died of a drug overdose after being dropped off at the St. Mary's Hospital emergency room, Dennis Evans formerly operated a business in Lexington Park which he sold to a cousin two years ago.  The current owner says that Dennis Evans no longer has any connection to his business and that he has worked hard to change the reputation of the store which it had gained when Dennis Evans and Greg Harris ran it.
