| Barrack Information: |
The barrack is tasked with the largest highway patrol area in the State, and
responds to the most collisions. Overall enforcement efforts resulted in a 21% increase
in citations from 2005, a 13% increase in criminal arrests, and a 9% decrease in fatal
collisions. A trooper attempted to stop a vehicle with two different license plates, and it
initially stopped, then sped off. After a high speed pursuit the suspect bailed out with a
handgun. After a several hour standoff the suspect was apprehended. The tags on the
vehicle were reported stolen and information gained through investigation linked the
driver/suspect to several bank robberies in the area. A joint investigation was opened with Baltimore County and Baltimore City Police after a report of identity theft. Investigation showed that two suspects were targeting workers from local hospitals. Both suspects were arrested and charged with over 25 incidents of theft. The barrack in Cumberland requested assistance in locating two juvenile escapees from a detention facility. Information was developed that they may be in the Arbutus area of Baltimore County. Interviews led investigators to an area where the juveniles were hiding but one fled on foot into a nearby residence. After a detailed search the second suspect was located and returned to the custody of Juvenile Services. |
