WALDORF, Md. – On January 7 at 3:44 p.m., a patrol officer initiated a traffic stop in the area of Palmer Place and Pilgrims Square.
The driver pulled over but fled on foot. He was apprehended a short distance away and found to be in possession of a loaded polymer 80 “ghost gun” – meaning the gun does not have a serial number.
A computer check revealed the driver is prohibited from possessing a firearm due to previous convictions.
The suspect, Carioco Jovan Grimes, 34, of Waldorf, was arrested and charged with illegal possession of a firearm, loaded handgun in vehicle, loaded handgun on person, and other related charges.
On January 9, a judge ordered Grimes could be released from the Charles County Detention Center if he is able to meet the requirements for electronic monitoring.
Officer T. Brown is investigating.

But hey, under the proposed SB1, those law abiding MD citizens that have legally issued Concealed Carry permits will not be allowed to carry their serial numbered and registered fire arms in public. If they do, and are stopped by aLEO, will be arrested and treated as criminals. However these ghost carrying,not allowed to have a fire arm, upstanding citizens that are pictured in this article will not hesitate to rearm themselves while released awaiting trial…
