HANCOCK, MD - Police have charged a South Carolina man and his pregnant girlfriend after a two-day standoff that appeared to be a hostage situation.
Police say James Prevatt III, 26, was not holding his girlfriend hostage. In fact, they say Renee Reynolds, 21, appears to have been a willing participant.
The pair was formally charged early Saturday morning. Prevatt faces various counts of felony theft and drug charges, and for threatening to use an explosive device; Reynolds is facing felony theft charges and conspiracy charges. Police say they expect additional charges will be filed in the near future.
Both are being held at the Washington County Detention Center. Prevatt is being held on $500,000 bond, and Reynolds on $250,000 bond.
SWAT teams moved in on the room just after 7:30 p.m. Friday evening. Officers tasered Prevatt as he opened the hotel room door to get a meal. They also used a small explosive device to knock the back door down.

Officers executed a search warrant in the room, but no weapons were found. They did find drugs and stolen property-- that includes jewelry, electronics, cameras and coins. Police say some of that property was stolen from a Hancock home on August 11th.
SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST STUPID!
