At about 11:15 a.m. Wednesday, members of the Maryland State Apprehension Team and MSP Gang Enforcement Unit were attempting to apprehend Lamount Maurice Potter Jr., 21, of Crisfield, who was wanted on an outstanding violation of probation warrant for possession with intent to distribute narcotics. Investigators attempted a traffic stop on a 2017 Ram 2500 pickup truck in the area of McCain Drive and College Backbone Road in Princess Anne, Maryland.
Potter was originally a passenger in the truck, which was being operated by Lashae Caprice Smith. According to investigators, Smith initially attempted to drive around several police vehicles to avoid being stopped by police. Smith then reversed the truck and intentionally struck a police vehicle parked behind it.
Smith then got out of the vehicle – it is unclear whether she was pushed or got out voluntarily – and Potter moved over into the driver’s seat where he accelerated the truck and deliberately rammed another police vehicle on the front driver’s side, disabling the police car. Potter then accelerated through the police vehicle, pushing it forward, before striking a UMES road sign and driving through a ditch to escape police capture.
Potter then drove northbound on Route 13 before abandoning the vehicle in the area of Route 13 and South Boulevard in Salisbury approximately 15 minutes later. The suspect then ran away from the scene.
A Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit arrived on scene to attempt a K-9 track, which was met with negative results. MSP Aviation responded to assist with the search for Potter, which also was met with negative results. At this time, police are still attempting to locate Potter.
No police personnel or civilians were injured during this incident. If anyone should see Potter, or have information regarding his whereabouts, you should contact police immediately.
Why do they bother with the k9? I have yet heard of one tracking a suspect down. You want to find them then use a blood hound, they rarely loose a trail even in the rain!
ReplyDeleteWhat would they call a blood hound?
DeleteCall and tell that to officials in charge - can't figure why people who know the answers don't contact those in charge
DeleteApprehension team chased a guy and lost him. Kinda ironic lol
ReplyDeleteI lose respect for police officers who don't eradicate thugs like that who rams their police cars in an attempt to kill them.
ReplyDeleteThey will have within the next 24hr.
ReplyDeleteHell he should be easy to find , I'm sure he has tripped over his lips a few times so he can't run very fast.
ReplyDeleteThere are K9 Bloodhounds!
ReplyDeleteWicomico k9's are Shepard as are most used by police departments.
DeleteCurious that none of the mainstream TV media covered this, a story about crime in the area
ReplyDeleteWas this the "high-speed chase" that went through Fruitland?
ReplyDeleteHe disappeared into the Princeton area thug village...That place needs to be torn down.
ReplyDeletePolice? Investigators? Apprehension teams? OR BOZO’s? How can they let this criminal imbecile smear their faces in crap? LOL This is beyond belief! How much more incompetent or impotent can they be?? 8:02 it’s not on TV media because it’s a total embarrassment to law enforcement!! Lol! But, I bet 30 innocent people got speeding tickets in Fruitland yesterday for victimless “crimes”.
ReplyDeleteprobably hiding in a row house in Bmore
ReplyDeletehmm, now that is a new thought - all the FTD officer, standing across N & S bound lanes, guns drawn, ready to shot down that white 4X4.
ReplyDeleteDo you know the grief BLM, NAACP and other Black organizations would give LEO for shooting the black thug who who pushed his baby's momma out of the truck and rammed an LEO car.
You computer crime solvers posting on here are dumber than dumb.
Kind of hard to believe that 15 armed police officers can't catch 1 perp! Are we living in Mayberry?
ReplyDeleteAnother role model.
ReplyDelete$20 bucks says he has at least 3 kids he never sees, but is happy that taxpayers can take care of his keeds AND allow one of his baby momma's to drive such a nice car.
The worst part?? He has admirers.
THAT is the state of black culture.
It MUST be someone's else's fault he is such a piece of garbage (apologies to real garbage). His keeds will have a great example of how to be successful in America.
He's probably a "pastor", too.
