Three Bowie Men Jailed on Armed Robbery, Drug Charges

Three Bowie men are in jail after they allegedly fired a handgun during a robbery while driving a vehicle with drugs and counterfeit cash, say Annapolis Police.

The robbery and assault was reported about noon Saturday in the 1000 block of Eaglewood Road. A 21-year-old man told police he was walking when a man called him over to a vehicle. As he walked toward the vehicle, two men got out and told him to “drop what you got,” police said in a release.

One of the men was armed with a handgun. When the victim started to put his hand in his pocket, one of the suspects struck him in the face. The victim heard a loud pop and believes the handgun was fired, police said. The victim ran and the suspects fled the area in their vehicle.

A description of the vehicle given to police led officers to stop the vehicle in the 900 block of Bay Ridge Road with the three suspects inside.

A handgun and a handgun magazine were reportedly found in the 900 block of Edgewood Road. Detectives also found more than 100 grams of marijuana, a digital scale, plastic bags for packaging CDS, and more than $1,100 in counterfeit currency in the suspect’s vehicle.

Adir Mahmutagic, 22, and Damir Mahmutagic, 19, were charged with 11 criminal counts, including armed robbery, robbery, use of a firearm in a felony or violent crime, and possession of marijuana. Both are being held at the Jennifer Road Detention Center on $500,000 bond.

Matthew Colon Mejias, 17, was charged as an adult with 13 criminal counts and is being held without bond.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Detective Joshua Liebross at 410-260-3439 or jdliebross@annapolis.gov.
