Summary
Charles County deputies arrested 57-year-old Sir Leander Evans Gamble on July 3 after he allegedly assaulted three tenants, then pointed a handgun at them and threatened to harm them.
A search of Gamble's Waldorf property turned up six handguns, while animal control officers found an alligator, a caiman, a snake, an emu and other animals allegedly kept in neglectful conditions.
The tenants were identified as a woman, her 28-year-old son and his girlfriend, who was eight months pregnant; the woman said the confrontation left her traumatized and financially strained.
Gamble was charged with aggravated assault and is being held without bond, while authorities said additional charges could follow as the animal welfare investigation remains active.
