Scooter Stolen, Shooting Threatened Before Suspects Crash Getaway Car: Police

SEVERN, MD — Suspects crashed their getaway car after juveniles threatened to shoot a boy and his mother when they stole his scooter this week in Severn, police said.

Officers said they were called Monday around 2:55 p.m. to Stillmeadows Drive and Dove Court for an assault.

Authorities said several juvenile males stole a scooter from another juvenile male and started walking with it down Pioneer Drive toward Stillmeadows Drive.

Police said the victim called his mother, who saw the suspects with the scooter on Blue Jay Court and confronted them.

The mother told officers that the juveniles then pointed what she thought were handguns at her and threatened to shoot her and her son.

Authorities said that as they arrived, they saw two suspects drive away in a blue Toyota Camry.

Police tried to stop the car, but they said it fled and later collided with a second vehicle.

The suspects then ran away on foot, officers said.

Authorities said they caught and arrested 18-year-old passenger Jamari Antonio Johnson of Glen Burnie, who had a .45-caliber Glock handgun loaded with eight rounds.

Police said they couldn't find the other fleeing suspect.

Inside the Toyota, officers said they found a 9-mm Polymer 80 handgun that had an obliterated serial number and was loaded with 16 rounds.

Authorities said they also found and arrested two other boys who were involved, a 14-year-old from Odenton and a 16-year-old from Hanover.
