Millersville Man Pointed Gun At Route 100 Driver: Police

GLEN BURNIE, MD — A Millersville man is facing assault charges stemming from a road rage incident Sunday on Route 100, according to the Anne Arundel County police. On Tuesday, Timothy Patrick McGarrahan, 40, turned himself in to police at the Eastern District Station and was arrested on a warrant charging him with first degree assault, second degree assault and handgun violations, the police said.

At 5:12 p.m. Sunday, an unidentified woman reported to police that as she was driving on Route 100 near the Oakwood Road exit, the driver of a black Dodge cut her off and pointed a gun at her. She got the man's license plate number before he exited onto northbound Route 2 (Ritchie Highway).

From the license plate, the police identified the driver as McGarrahan. Officers went to his address on Sunday evening, but no one was home and no vehicle was located.

The next day, police detectives went to his home. McGarrahan was not there, but they found his vehicle; after getting a search warrant, they searched his car and recovered a loaded 9mm Ruger handgun, the police said. The detectives then obtained the arrest warrant for McGarrahan. (For more news like this, find your local Patch here.
