Carjacking, Assault Charges Filed After Towson Lockdown: Police

TOWSON, MD — A Baltimore County man faces 19 charges in connection with the lockdown of Towson University Monday night. Police said the incident began with erratic driving.

After 5 p.m., police said a witness called 911 to report a BMW driving erratically in the unit block of Stevenson Lane. That led to a road rage incident, according to officials, who did not elaborate.

The driver continued on to Osler Drive and was involved in a hit-and-run crash on Cross Campus and Emerson drives, according to police.

A responding officer was assaulted before the suspect ran away, police said.

Soon after, county police said they were informed a 2021 Land Rover had been stolen from a hospital parking lot nearby.

During the search for the suspect, police said Towson University issued lockdown orders.

Before 7 p.m., Baltimore City police arrested the suspect, who was walking at the time, according to officials.

Zaron Savyon Elzey, 19 — who police said lives on Gwynnswood Road in Owings Mills — faces these charges:

• Carjacking
• Robbery
• Unlawful taking of a motor vehicle
• Theft from $1,500 to under $25,000
• Three counts of first-degree assault
• Four counts of second-degree assault
• Two counts of second-degree assault on a police officer/first responder
• Malicious destruction of property less than $1,000

Elzey is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center, police said.

A bail review hearing in Baltimore County District Court is slated for 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct 6.
