CUMBERLAND, MD – Cumberland city police detectives investigating a gun incident on Park Street learned the suspects they were looking for also had open warrants for a robbery last week.

Officers responded to an assault 911 call on Sunday in the 200 block of Park Street that involved a firearm.

According to detectives, officers contacted witnesses and victims of the incident.


“They advised that they were walking in the area when they got into a verbal altercation with a male and female subject. They stated that the male suspect displayed a handgun and pointed it at them during the argument,” the Cumberland Police Department said. “The male and female then left the area on foot. Officers searched the area and located the two subjects walking nearby. When contacted, the male subject was found to be in possession of an airsoft-style pistol.”

Police arrested Levi Neal Jones, 24, of Cumberland, MD, was arrested for multiple charges of assault and disorderly conduct.

Jones and his accomplice, Ashley Kay Shrout, 36, also had active warrants issued for their arrest.

“The warrants stemmed from an incident that occurred on October 16th at a residence in the 12000 block of McMullen Hwy. During that incident, it is alleged that both Jones and Shrout broke into the home and stole numerous items from the homeowner,” the department said.
