BALTIMORE, MD — A routine traffic patrol turned into a significant arrest in Baltimore’s Western District on the evening of August 1. At approximately 10:14 p.m., members of the Western District Action Team observed a vehicle committing a traffic violation in the 600 block of Cumberland Street.

When detectives attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver initially tried to elude them. The pursuit ended with the driver’s apprehension, and a subsequent search led to the recovery of a Taurus 9mm handgun along with ammunition.
