Devon Brown, 24, of Essex, was taken into custody by Maryland State Police and accused of stealing a motor vehicle. Brown also has a larceny warrant pending. Additionally, State Police arrested and charged Troy Parker, 18, of Catonsville, with exhibition driving, uninsured vehicle, and suspended registration, and Rashawn Brown, 22, of Wilmington, Delaware, with exhibition and reckless driving.
