Smalls won’t be home for Christmas; he’s in the slammer in Maryland after pointing gun on I-95

NORTHEAST, MD. — A man with a baby and a woman in his car decided to show his derriere as he motored north on I-95 and when he let his anger management take a back seat to his brain, if indeed he was ever in possession of cognitive ability of any magnitude, he allegedly pointed a gun at another motorist. That motorist did the right thing and instead of plowing into him, she backed off and called the cops. A Maryland trooper spotted the convicted felon from Georgia, and he was safely installed behind bars in Cecil County on Christmas Eve. The cops found a room at the Inn for this yahoo.

Shortly after 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 24, 2015, the JFK Memorial Highway Barracks received a 9-1-1 call from a female motorist traveling with her two young children and her mother, northbound on Interstate 95 in the area of Rt. 22 in Harford County.  The driver said she was involved in a road rage incident with another vehicle.  The driver described the suspect vehicle as a late model burgundy four-door passenger vehicle with partial registration “PSP,” and described the driver and his female passenger.  The caller said when she pulled up alongside the vehicle; the driver pointed a silver or gray color handgun at her. She said she ducked down and slowed, then dialed 9-1-1.

A broadcast of the vehicle was dispatched and while Tfc. Rumaker was traveling northbound on I-95 south of Rt. 222 in Cecil County, he observed a vehicle matching the description.  The vehicle was a burgundy Toyota Avalon, displaying Georgia registration.  A traffic stop was initiated on the vehicle north of Rt. 222 and the driver were identified by his Georgia driver’s license as Ashanti A. S. Smalls.  A check with the Georgia Department of Corrections shows that Smalls has matriculated several times from the Georgia correctional system, leaving without any obvious correction, as he keeps returning.

Maryland State Police report that an adult female was in the passenger’s seat and in the back seat of the vehicle, in a child safety seat, was a 14-month-old female.

During a search of the immediate area of the driver and front passenger seat, a black metal handgun ammo magazine containing ten .40 caliber full metal jacket ammo rounds was located in the vehicle’s center console.  Located in the vehicle’s glove box were a gray / pink colored handgun that was not holstered and a black neoprene holster.  The handgun was a Taurus .40 caliber containing a ten round ammo magazine that was fully loaded with hollow point ammo, with a round in the chamber.

Members of North East Barrack, North East Police, Cecil County Sheriff Office and Perryville Police Department assisted. The Maryland Gun Center was contacted, and revealed Smalls did not possess a gun carry permit in Maryland.  An NCIC check revealed Smalls was prohibited from possessing regulated firearms due to felony convictions in Georgia.  Smalls was placed under arrest and transported to the JFK Highway Barracks for processing and charging.  Police said he was taken to the Cecil County Detention Center central booking center for an initial appearance later tonight.  His female passenger was not charged.
