Delaware State Police have arrested a 25-year-old man Carl Butler from Washington, DC and 29 years old Sarah Iscandari of Maryland City, Maryland for possession of a stolen car and other charges stemming from an incident that happened yesterday morning in Bear.
On April 6, 2023 at approximately 7:23 am, troopers responded to the Wawa located at 3601 Wrangle Hill Road in reference to a robbery. Officers learned that an unknown male suspect had entered the store, removed tobacco products from behind the cash register, and left the store without paying. The suspect then got into a red Honda Odyssey van and left the area. Troopers found the same minivan a short time later at Diamond State Tire, located at 3482 Wrangle Hill Road. Officers made contact with Carl Butler and Saratu Iscandari who were outside the minivan, and Butler was identified as the robbery suspect. Troopers attempted to arrest Butler, but he ran away from police and physically resisted arrest. Once Butler was taken into custody, troopers found a handgun that was hidden in his jacket pocket. The gun did not have a serial number and computer checks showed Butler was a convicted felon who was prohibited from carrying a firearm.
Computer checks revealed that the Prince George’s County Police Department reported the Honda Odyssey stolen on April 5, 2023. Both Butler and Iscandari initially provided false names and dates of birth to troopers. Once identified, both Butler and Iscandari were taken to Troop 2 and charged with the following crimes:
Carl Butler:
- Possession of a firearm without a serial number (felony)
- Possession of a firearm by a prohibited person (felony)
- Carrying a Concealed Firearm (Felony)
- Receiving stolen property over $1,500 (felony)
- Theft under $1,500
- Criminal impersonation
- Resisting arrest
Butler was arraigned by Justice of the Peace 11 and committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on $25,000 cash bail.
Sarah Iscandari:
- Receiving stolen property over $1,500 (felony)
- Criminal impersonation
Iscandari was arraigned in 11 Magistrate Court and committed to the Delores J. Baylor Correctional Institution for Women on a $10,000 secured bond.
