MDTA POLICE RECOVER LOADED GUN AND DRUGS

FROM SUBJECT IN BALTIMORE COUNTY

 

BALTIMORE, MD – On Monday, Dec. 17, 2018, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) Police arrested a Baltimore County man who was in possession of a loaded handgun and drugs.

 

An MDTA Police officer checked the welfare of a driver who was stopped on the shoulder along I-695 near Exit 33 (I-95) and appeared to be slumped over his steering wheel. After waking the driver, the officer detected the odor of marijuana coming from the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Zachary Shumaker, a 23-year-old male from Rosedale, MD was identified to be the driver and was asked to exit his vehicle, a 2003 Toyota Tacoma. During a subsequent search of the vehicle, officers located a loaded handgun, ammunition, heroin and marijuana.

 

The MDTA Police charged Shumaker with transporting a firearm in a motor vehicle, illegal possession of ammunition, illegal possession of a regulated firearm, a disqualified person possessing a regulated firearm, possession of marijuana and possession of heroin.

 

After processing, officers transported Shumaker to the Baltimore County District Court Commissioner. He is being held without bail pending trial.

Every Traveler Deserves to Arrive Safely: A Message from the Maryland Transportation Authority

This month’s Serious About Safety message comes from Maryland Transportation Authority Executive Director Bruce Gartner, who reminds us that every traveler deserves to arrive safely. As fall approaches, we’re encouraging Maryland drivers to keep their charm behind the wheel.

Bay Crossing Study

With students returning to school and more commuters traveling Maryland’s roadways, traffic can become busier. Stay alert, remain patient, and give yourself a few extra minutes to reach your destination. Whether you’re traveling across bridges, through tunnels, or along local roadways, safe and courteous driving habits can help everyone arrive safely.

Before you head out, visit MDTA’s Harbor Crossings website for traffic cameras, lane closures, road conditions, and other travel information to help you plan your trip. Let’s keep our roads safe this fall and continue to be Serious About Safety.
