A Maryland State Police news release said Kiana was charged with first- and second- degree assault, reckless endangerment and other related charges, while Rendell was charged with handgun in vehicle.

Both were taken to the Princess Anne Barrack for processing and later seen by a district court commissioner. Kiana, the driver of a blue Volkswagen, was released on $30,000 unsecured bond. Rendell, a passenger, was released on his own recognizance, authorities said.
