3 Armed Annapolis Teens Charged After Apartment Standoff

ANNAPOLIS, MD — An Annapolis apartment building was evacuated Thursday night as police searched for two armed teens; three suspects were eventually arrested, Annapolis Police said. Reports that two teens were armed with handguns and part of a group of people loitering in front of an apartment in the 700 block of Newtowne Drive sent officers to the building about 11:35 p.m.

When police approached the area, some of the group, including the two believed to be illegally carrying handguns, ran into an apartment. A woman who lived in the apartment fled; police then tried to make contact with the group, but they refused to leave the apartment. Officers were positioned outside the apartment and other residents of the building were evacuated until it was confirmed that no one else was inside the apartment, police said.

Three suspects then came out of the apartment and were taken into custody.

T’reiko Medley, 19, a 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy, all of Annapolis, were arrested and charged with third- and fourth-degree burglary. The two juveniles were charged as juveniles with the offenses. Medley is awaiting his initial hearing before the District Court Commissioner.

As officers searched the apartment they found two loaded handguns, including one that had been reported stolen. More charges are possible once results from processing the handguns are received, police said.

During the time officers were in the area they arrested William Herold, 17, of Annapolis who had an arrest warrant for attempted first-degree murder and 13 other related charges stemming from a shooting on March 24 in the 600 block of Greenbriar Lane. The warrant was issued mid-September, but officers had been unable to locate Herold.

Isiah Naylor, 21, of Annapolis was previously arrested, and is awaiting trial, for his involvement in the same shooting.
