Severn Man Faces 18 Charges Related To Attempted Murder: Police

SEVERN, MD — Police arrested a Severn man on Monday, charging him with an August attempted murder. The accused 32 year old, Deontray Jammie Poole, faces 18 charges related to the crime.

The Anne Arundel County Police Department secured a warrant for Poole's arrest on Aug. 6. On Monday, the U.S. Marshalls Task Force found Poole at a Baltimore home in the 4700 block of Old York Road, police say. The task force is a federal policing group that helps local departments find wanted suspects.

Poole was arrested without incident. Officers noted that they found a .22-caliber Ruger handgun and .22-caliber ammunition during the encounter.

The accused man faces the following seven felonious charges:

1. One count of attempted first-degree murder
2. Three counts of attempted second-degree murder
3. Three counts of first-degree assault

Poole is also up against these 11 misdemeanors:

1. Three counts of second-degree assault
2. Three counts of reckless endangerment
3. One count of firearm usage for a violent crime
4. One count of having a handgun on his person
5. One count of having a loaded handgun on his person
6. One count of having a handgun in his vehicle
7. One count of having a loaded handgun in his vehicle

Poole has a bail hearing on Wednesday. His case does not yet list jury selection or trial dates.

The shooting in question hospitalized a man on Aug. 5, police say. The incident happened around 8:30 p.m. in the 1300 block of Jamestown Drive in Severn.

Officers claim they found the male victim laying on the floor of a home, suffering from wounds to his upper body. The suspect shot the man after they got into a fight outside, police allege. The accused man then fled the scene, according to an incident report.

Anne Arundel County police gave the victim first aid until medics took him to an unnamed hospital, the report notes. He is expected to live.

A bullet from the shooting also damaged a nearby home, police believe. The affected house is in the 1200 block of Chestnut Street. As a bird flies, that's about a quarter mile away from the crime scene. Chestnut Street does not directly connect to Jamestown Drive.

The owner of the home called police just before 8 the next morning, reporting a small hole in one of her windows. She noticed the puncture around 6:45 a.m.

The woman said she heard a loud pop around 8 p.m. the day prior, which was around the time the victim was shot. Police did not find a bullet inside the Chestnut Street residence.
