On Feb. 15, police said, they seized a second package containing 4.5 kilograms of cocaine. Detectives resealed the package and allowed it to be delivered to the hotel. Police arrested the two employees they said took possession of it: Bernard King, 48, and Javon Kirk Louis Savage, 22. Nicole Tamika Freeman remains at large.
All three are charged with eight drug and conspiracy crimes. Police said Savage is on house arrest until trial, and King is being held at the Anne Arundel County Detention Center on $750,000 bail.
