Police update description of man who attacked camera vehicle

 

From the Washington Times:
"Maryland State Police said Thursday that a man who attacked a speed camera vehicle may have parked in a lot that serves several nearby businesses and walked through the woods to where the vehicle was stationed on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.

Police issued an updated description of the man, now saying he is thought to be white, about 6-feet tall and between 200-220 pounds, “possibly with a pot belly.”

They say he was wearing blue jeans and a red and blue plaid shirt initially reported as flannel but later described as possibly flannel.

State police say the man is thought to be in his 50s or 60s, to be wearing clear glasses and possibly carrying a black backpack.

The man walked out of the woods at about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday with a weapon in each hand and approached the speed camera vehicle parked on the southbound side of the parkway, police said. The man rapped on the back window with a shotgun before coming to the driver’s side window to yell at the driver, who was operating a camera enforcing speed limits in a construction zone. The man smashed a hammer on the windshield, leaving large cracks, before disappearing back into the woods the way he came, police said."

The incident occurred on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway near the exit for I195

Would have been a lot easier to smash the windshield with a hammer. Must of been a fragile hammer. smile

I like the description

With a description like that they should have a full house in the jail soon. That covers about 1/2 the people I know.

Striving to make the NYC Metro area project the best.

I know that area well.

I know that area well. Maryland is doing its best to collect substantial revenue because, like many other States, it's way overspent in many areas.

There's even a citizens referendum now required for a law that was to grant reduced scholarship costs to children of illegals. That would cost about $40K for 4 years at a college.

While MD is a liberal state, I think there are some real surprises for elected officials at all levels in 2012.

camera man has no camera?

unbelievable!!
Camera man has camera to "protect" safety of others, but, they seem have no surveillance camera to accurately capture the description of attacker.
something not right here.
