- The Maryland State Police said in a statement that Lamar Davon Daniels, 37, of Landover, drove a Dodge Caravan through a stop sign at Maryland Route 210/Indian Head Highway and Livingston Road just before 3 a.m. When a state trooper signaled for him to pull over, the police said, Daniels slowed down, but then sped off.
- State troopers arrested Daniels and found a loaded Glock semi-automatic handgun near where he was arrested, the police said, adding that they also found “indicators of impairment from alcohol or drugs.” A database check found that Daniels was prohibited from owning a gun because of a felony conviction.
- The people in the car were taken to a hospital where they were checked out and released. Daniels was treated and released, all the while in police custody.
- Daniels faces charges including fleeing and eluding law enforcement, failing to remain at the scene of a personal injury collision, driving while under the influence, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person with a felony conviction and more.
