Andy Raymond was jailed on felony assault charges after authorities say he fired two rounds at a moving, unmarked police SUV.
Maryland authorities say car was driving away when he fired. Owner’s attorney says he was nearly run over.A Maryland gun store owner is accused of assault for shooting at an unmarked police car. His attorney says he was nearly run over and didn’t know it was police. Worried about a series of brazen late-night break-ins at gun stores in the area, Andy Raymond began spending nights inside his business — Engage Armament — in Rockville, Md.
Larson said the officer had to turn around in the lot because he came upon a fence. When he did so, he saw a man grabbing at his waistband and tying to flee. The incidents occurred between midnight at 3:55 a.m. In four cases, suspects used a car or truck to ram into the store, getting inside three of them.In one of those heists — at Atlantic Guns, just two miles from Raymond’s Engage Armament — thieves made off with five rifles and seven pistols, according to ATF. At another, police in Anne Arundel County caught two juveniles — ages 14 and 16, from Montgomery County — removing guns from display cases at Scott’s Gunsmithing, in Glen Burnie at 3:45 a.
Police allege that the officer in the SUV had seen a person “moving towards his vehicle [while] reaching towards his midsection.” The officer then drove away from the man to avoid possibly being shot, according to police. After firing his gun, Raymond continued running after the police car onto Gude Drive. It was then, according to court records, that the officer activated his lights.
