Annapolis, MD – A 58-year-old man is facing charges after reportedly pointing a firearm at a group of 12-year-old carolers. The incident occurred on Saturday night around 8:30 p.m. in the vicinity of the 1700 block of Point No Point Drive.

Paul Susie has been charged with first- and second-degree assault along with additional charges. The Anne Arundel County Police Department confirmed the man’s arrest following the confrontation.

Three girls were singing Christmas carols and approached Susie’s home, where one of them knocked on his door to inform him of their activity. Susie allegedly aimed a gun at them from a window inside his residence during this encounter.

Responding officers later arrested Susie, who admitted to drinking alcohol prior to the incident. Police reported that Susie’s front stoop was well-lit at the time.

A .40-caliber Glock handgun, which Susie possessed legally, was recovered at the scene. He has also been charged for handling a handgun while under the influence.
