PASADENA, MD — A routine traffic stop on the evening of August 12 led to the arrest of two Baltimore men after police discovered a handgun and illegal drugs in their vehicle. The incident occurred at 9:55 PM at the intersection of Ft. Smallwood Road and Cloverhill Road in Pasadena.

During the stop, officers noted that the Ford F-150 was displaying a license plate registered to a Dodge Ram. This discrepancy prompted a further search, which revealed a Ruger P95 handgun along with quantities of suspected heroin/fentanyl and methadone.

The arrested individuals have been identified as James Lee Johnson, 40, and Brian Keith Larrimore, 38, both from Baltimore, Maryland. The arrests underscore ongoing efforts by local law enforcement to address gun and drug violations in the area.
