Weapons Offense - Glen Burnie

On August 15, 2023, at approximately 3:00 a.m., a police sergeant was on routine patrol when he observed two vehicles being operated recklessly westbound on Mountain Road approaching Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard, with one vehicle tailgating the other at high rates of speed. The tailgating vehicle followed the other into the lot of Geresbeck’s Market, where both vehicles were stopped by the sergeant as the tailgating vehicle was attempting to cut off the path of the other vehicle. During the investigation, the sergeant determined that the reckless operation of both vehicles stemmed from a road rage incident. The driver of the tailgating vehicle was determined to be driving under the influence and was taken into custody. During a subsequent search of the vehicle, officers located a non-serialized semi-automatic handgun. The driver was arrested and charged accordingly.
