Teen arrested in Annapolis armed carjacking

Carjacking LargeThe Annapolis Police have arrested a 17-year old male from Annapolis in connection with an armed carjacking that occurred early this morning off of Spa Road.

Just before 2:00am on February 13, 2020, Annapolis Police officers responded to the unit block of Johnson Place (just off Spa Road near West Street) for a reported carjacking.

The 17 year old male victim reported that he drove to the area to meet a female. Once he stopped his vehicle he was approached by a male suspect holding a sledge hammer. The suspect said he was armed with a handgun and threatened to kill the victim.

The victim fled from the vehicle on foot, dropping his keys. The suspect picked up the keys and drove the vehicle away onto Spa Rd at a high rate of speed. The speeding vehicle drew the attention of an officer on Spa Rd and as the officer turned on his vehicle’s emergency lights and siren to stop the vehicle it was driven off the roadway and struck a wall in front of Bay Shore Landing Apartments in the 900 block of Spa Rd.

The suspect continued to operate the stolen vehicle, striking three parked vehicles in the apartment complex.

The driver fled the vehicle on foot, but officers quickly stopped him. He was identified as a 17 year old male from Annapolis. He was arrested and is currently awaiting his initial hearing before the District Commissioner. Police intend to charge him as an adult with these crimes.
