An officer arrived and found Jose Ojeda Urban, 21, of Annapolis sitting in the driver’s seat of a parked vehicle with the driver’s door open. The officer stopped to talk to Ojeda Urban and while they were speaking Ojeda Urban dropped a plastic grocery bag he was carrying and ran away from the officer. Officers stopped him in the 400 block of South Cherry Grove Av. When Ojeda Urban was stopped officers saw him reaching for his waistband and after handcuffing him found he had a loaded handgun tucked into the front of his pants. Officers found several keys, money and jewelry in Ojeda Urban’s pockets. The plastic grocery bag Ojeda Urban dropped before he ran from officers had property traceable to two residents, one on Catlyn Pl and one in the 200 block of South Cherry Grove Av. Ojeda Urban is prohibited from possessing a handgun because he was adjudicated delinquent.
