Odenton Man Charged With Assault, Robbery in Crofton

CROFTON, MD — A previous dispute may be the cause behind a recent robbery and beating in Crofton that has led to the arrest of an Odenton teen, authorities say.

Anne Arundel County Police responded to the area of the 2000 block of Nantucket Drive in Crofton on June 29 to investigate an assault and robbery.

The victim told police he was walking on Nantucket Drive when three suspects approached him. One of the robbers hit the victim, knocking him to the ground. All three suspects then began punching and kicking the man as he lay on the ground.

Police say the suspects removed the victim’s wallet and his cell phone before fleeing the scene.

Detectives identified the suspect and an arrest warrant was issued for Terreik Taylor, 19, of Odenton.

The robbery was a result of a prior incident involving the victim and one of Taylor’s family members, officers say. An arrest warrant was obtained and on Wednesday Taylor was arrested and served the arrest warrant.

Taylor is charged with robbery, second-degree assault and theft less than $1,000.

Police ask that anyone with tips or information about the identities of the other robbers call Detective Marc Aguiar at 410-222- 6155 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866- 7LOCKUP or text “MCS plus your message” to CRIMES (274637).
