Woman Pleads Guilty in Police Officer Shooting

A Severn woman arrested after her boyfriend allegedly shot an Anne Arundel County Police officer at a 7-Eleven store has pleaded guilty to two charges.

Danielle Nicole Blake, 30, of Severn, will be sentenced Jan. 22 for transporting a handgun in a vehicle and being an accessory after-the-fact in the April 10 shooting of Corporal Larry Adams, reports the Capital-Gazette. She was originally charged with conspiracy to commit attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, and four other charges.

The police officer shot in the neck after he likely interrupted the robbery of an Annapolis 7-Eleven store is working to regain use of his left arm so he can return to duty, according to the Anne Arundel County Police Department’s Facebook page.

Colvin Lamar White, 30, of Annapolis, is scheduled to stand trial Jan. 11 for shooting Adams at the convenience store while Blake waited in her vehicle. White is charged with attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit armed robbery and other charges.

Police said White and Blake have children together.

The shooting occurred April 10 when Adams went to the 7-Eleven store for a routine business check, and was told that a person outside the store was acting in a suspicious manner. When the officer went to investigate, there was an altercation with White, who is accused of shooting Adams before he fled the scene.

According to the Capital-Gazette, prosecutors said at Thursday’s court hearing that the pair first fled to White’s home after the shooting, where White reportedly burned the clothes he was wearing during the crime and then threw the evidence away. The couple then went to White’s home, where police later arrested them.

Adams was the first Anne Arundel County Police officer to be shot in the line of duty since July of 2008, when an officer was shot in Brooklyn Park. There has never been a fatal shooting in the department’s history.
