Three individuals were apprehended in Baltimore County by Maryland State Police last night, cataloging yet another chapter in the weighty tome of gun-related incidents. According to the report released on the official state website, the stoppage resulted in the recovery of two loaded firearms, with one among them previously reported as lost in the year 2024.
The detention of the accused—Brandon Darrell Thomas Jr., 20, Keshon Terrance Greene, 18, both from Middle River, and De’Sean Devontay Thornton, 19, of Baltimore—stemmed from what began as a routine vehicular sweep on I-695 near Delaney Valley Road. A Maryland State Police trooper pulled over a Mazda 6 for what seemed to be a simple infringement of the Move Over law, paired with a malfunctioning headlight. However, the stop quickly escalated when the officer opted to investigate further into the car thoroughly, an act that turned out to be crucial in unravelling the possession of weapons above and additional contraband suggestive of an intent to distribute controlled substances.
On the detailed scale of charges, each member of the trio faces allegations including "CDS possession with intent to distribute, loaded handgun on person, loaded handgun in vehicle, possession of a firearm as a minor and other firearm-related charges," as reported by Maryland State Police. The young men, each under the age of 21 and thus prohibited from firearm possession, are currently stationed, without the opportunity of bond, in the Baltimore County Detention Center.
