Severn Man Faces Assault, Other Charges after Argument

A Severn man faces assault charges for reportedly pointing a handgun at another resident during an argument Sunday night in the area of Autumn Lake Court and Indian Drive.

The victim met officers on the street corner, and told them he had been in an argument with a suspect who lives in the 8200 block of Autumn Lake Court. During the argument, the suspect showed a handgun and threatened to kill the victim as he stood in the street outside the suspects’ residence.

Police say the suspect -- Solomon Gilmore, 31, 8201 Autumn Lake Court of Severn -- denied pointing a handgun at the victim.

After obtaining a search warrant, officers went through the residence and found two handguns in a furnace closet. One of guns had been reported stolen during a burglary in North Carolina in January 2013. As a result of the recovered stolen handgun, additional charges have been filed against Gilmore.

Police say Gilmore resisted as they attempted to arrest him. He was charged with first-degree assault, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, resisting arrest and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
