So dumb.. The ATM has way more money than the person using it. Next time demand money from the ATM. Show it the gun, let it see your face so it knows you’re serious.
i guess we’ll have to look up the address.
so, we can’t look up the address on the MD courts website, we have to have a suspects name\ case #? Why is the courts website set up so we can’t look stuff up by the address? We can’t help the criminal defense attorney that way. {in this case, the address would be 7500 block of Ridge Road}
