Robbery & Arrest – 201800004799 & 4790 – 100-199 Clay St – 11/07 at 7:25am: An adult male cab driver reported that he picked up a man in the Eastport area and drove him to Clay St. As he was stopped for the man to exit, the man strangled the driver from behind and stole money from him. The suspect left the area on foot. Officers did not locate him, but the suspect matched the description of the suspect in the armed robbery that occurred at a store in the 200 block of West St on 11/06 at 5:12pm. Detectives had identified the suspect in that robbery as Stephen Thomas, 44, of Annapolis. A warrant had already been issued for Thomas charging him with the robbery. Officers kept looking for Thomas and on 11/07 at 11:04am officers located him walking on Monroe St near Brashears St. Thomas was identified as the suspect in the robbery of the cab driver and also arrested for the armed robbery of the store. Thomas was charged with armed robbery, robbery, motor vehicle unlawful taking, robbery, theft and assault. Thomas is being held at the Jennifer Road Detention Center on a temporary commitment.

Be Thankful - Know Your Limit
Ahead of Thanksgiving the Annapolis Police Department is holding a Know Your Limit event on Saturday, 11/17 from 7pm to 11pm at Market Space. Officers will be on foot near the Market House offering free breathalyzer tests. Volunteer participants will be asked if they feel safe to drive a car, and then blow into a portable breathalyzer. Participants will be told what their blood alcohol content is and given an educational card with information on alcohol consumption and options to get home safely. For this event we are also teaming up with the Annapolis Substance Abuse Prevention (ASAP) Coalition to educate people about binge drinking. According to the 2016 Maryland Young Adult Survey on Alcohol (MYSA) half of 18 to 25 year olds who drink are binge drinking and don’t realize it.
