2 Annapolis Men Arrested After Chase, 3rd Suspect At Large

Two Annapolis men are in jail for stealing a car and fleeing police, while a third suspect is still at large, state police say.

GLEN BURNIE, MD — An attempted traffic stop early Friday morning led to the arrest of two people suspected of stealing a vehicle in Anne Arundel County.

The suspects, Sura Gabriel Sohna, 19, and Rashidd Ronald Keene, 20, both of Annapolis, are charged with motor vehicle theft, possession of a stolen vehicle, fleeing and eluding police and providing false identification. The pair were taken to the Maryland State Police Glen Burnie Barrack for processing. A third unknown suspect is still at large.

According to a preliminary investigation, a trooper from the Glen Burnie Barrack attempted to stop a white Mazda, being driven by Keene, after the trooper witnessed multiple traffic violations shortly before 2 a.m. in the area of Old Stage Road and Hiddenbrook Drive in Glen Burnie. As the trooper attempted to conduct the traffic stop, the vehicle — which was reported stolen in Anne Arundel County — sped off and attempted to elude police.

The trooper continued to pursue the vehicle, which eventually stopped near Faywood Court and Faywood Avenue in Glen Burnie. As the suspect vehicle came to a stop, three men were seen fleeing from the scene. As they ran from the scene, the vehicle continued to roll uncontrolled and struck two unoccupied vehicles.

Anne Arundel County Police arrived and assisted with a K-9 track of the suspects. That led troopers to a marsh area near the intersection of Rt. 10 and Mountain Road. While police were in the area, Sohna and Keene were seen running from the marsh.
