Citizen’s Initiative Helps Lead to Arrest

A 17-year old was arrested Sunday for tampering with a car on the 7900 block of Jason’s Landing Way after a nearby resident confronted the individual and notified law enforcement.

According to police, the witness saw the teenager inside a parked car on a residential driveway and approached the vehicle, only to have the 17-year old run away behind another residence on Jason’s Landing Way.

When officers arrived on the scene, they stopped a vehicle containing two minors as they appeared to be leaving the scene, said the police report. The individual who fled the scene was not in the vehicle, but police discovered a bag containing marijuana.

Police later learned the teen's identity who fled from the citizen and confirmed the bag of marijuana belonged to the same individual.

The juvenile, of Glen Burnie, MD, was then apprehended and charged with Rogue and Vagabond, marijuana possession and two counts of CDS paraphernalia, according to the police report.
