Glen Burnie Man Arrested In Gun Store Burglary Case: Police

GLEN BURNIE, MD --An 18-year-old Glen Burnie resident has been arrested and charged with second-degree burglary with the intent to steal a firearm and possession of a firearm by a minor. The charges are in reference to a June 13 gun shop burglary in Rockville, court records show.

Demico Henderson, Jr., 18, of Glen Burnie, was 17 at the time of the crime but is being charged as an adult. The gun shop burglary unfolded June 13 at approximately 2:30 p.m. According to the Anne Arundel County Police Department, five suspects used a stolen car to ram into United Gun
Shop, which triggered the business' alarm. Police arrived at the business at 5465 Randolph Rd. and tried to prevent the thieves from getting away.

While fleeing the scene, the suspects rammed a second stolen getaway car at a police cruiser. An officer responding to the call fired multiple shots at the car as it exited onto Randolph Road, killing 17-year-old Marquis Weems, of Anne Arundel County. The officer who discharged his weapon was John Gloss, a 20-year veteran assigned to the Patrol Services Bureau. Weems had been arrested previously for having a loaded gun at Annapolis High School while a student there.

The suspects in the getaway car traveled down Randolph Road for approximately a quarter mile before becoming disabled. Four of the suspects fled the area. When officers arrived, they found Weems deceased inside the vehicle, Patch reported.

While searching for the outstanding suspects, authorities said they found a bag of guns from the store in a resident's backyard. They also found three handguns in the vehicle on Randolph Road.
As of June 14, law enforcement officials recovered 17 guns. Police say there are still 10 stolen firearms missing from United Gun Shop, Patch reported.

Detectives have also linked the burglary in Rockville to a second burglary in Howard County. That incident happened in the early morning hours on June 12. A stolen car was used to ram into Fox's Firearms in Laurel around 2 a.m., according to Howard County Police. Multiple guns were stolen from the firearms dealer.
