The Prince George’s County Police Department arrested a suspect wanted in connection with a bank robbery in Upper Marlboro.  He’s identified as 46-year-old Melvin Ranard King of Danbury Street in Southwest Washington.  Tips called into the Prince George’s County Crime Solvers line helped robbery detectives identify King as a suspect.

On April 8, 2014, at about 10:00 am, King robbed a bank in the 14600 block of Church Street.
