Two People Arrested in Drug Case Involving Fake 911 Call
Easton, MD - The Easton Police Department has arrested two individuals in connection with drug charges and filing false reports during a traffic stop earlier this year.
On September 19, 2025, detectives served an arrest warrant on Elon A. Black, 38, of Easton, Maryland. Black faces charges of obstructing and hindering, making a false statement to a police officer, and two counts of controlled dangerous substance possession with intent to distribute through conspiracy.
The case stems from an incident on April 4, 2025, when officers conducted a traffic stop involving Black's vehicle near Route 50 and Cecil Drive. During the stop, a K-9 unit was called to scan the vehicle. While the drug detection dog conducted its search, Black used his cell phone to make a call.
The K-9 indicated the presence of controlled dangerous substances, prompting officers to search the vehicle. The search yielded significant evidence, including 60 capsules containing a suspected heroin and fentanyl mixture, two knotted bags with suspected crack cocaine, five containers with suspected crack cocaine, and five tablets believed to be Ecstasy.
Investigators later accessed Black's phone records and discovered he had called Lacira C. Wilson, 39, of Worton, Maryland, during the traffic stop. Black instructed Wilson to contact 911 and report shots fired at the Walmart location in Easton, Maryland.
Wilson made a false emergency report, which resulted in police officers being dispatched to investigate the report of shots fired. Officers found no evidence of gunfire at the scene.
Wilson was arrested on September 18, 2025, by deputies from the Kent County Sheriff's Office. She faces identical charges to Black, including obstructing and hindering, making a false statement to a police officer, and two counts of conspiracy to possess controlled dangerous substances with intent to distribute.
Elon Black was released on a $10,000 unsecured personal bond. Lacira Wilson was released on a $10,000 unsecured personal bond.
The investigation demonstrates how suspects sometimes attempt to divert police resources during active investigations by creating false emergencies in other locations.
