On March 20, troopers from the Maryland State Police Golden Ring Barrack responded to the outer loop of I-695 in the area of Stevensville Road for a reported road rage incident. The victim reported that the suspect brandished a firearm during the incident and provided law enforcement with the suspect vehicle description and registration plate. No injuries were reported.
Shortly after the incident, a Baltimore County Police officer located the suspect vehicle at a Royal Farms store. Robinson fled and eluded capture. Investigators with the Maryland State Police Highway Gun Crimes Initiative assumed the investigation.
