Arundel robbery victims turn tables on suspects
Anne Arundel County police say the victims of an attempted armed robbery in Pasadena turned the tables on their attackers.
Police officers responded at 8 p.m. Thursday to the 200 block of Mountain Road, where they saw a suspect being detained on the property. The victims told police that they were in a garage when two suspects approached, one of them displaying a handgun, and demanding money. A 38-year-old male relative and a 26-year-old female relative came from inside the residence and chased after the suspects, who were trying to flee. A "struggle" ensued, and they managed to hold down the suspect until police arrived. Officers detained a second suspect.
Charged are Delonte Preston Thomas, 20, of the 8900 block of Oakwood Way in Laurel, and Paul Rashon Atterberry, 17, of the 9200 block of Steeple Court in Laurel. Atterberry, who was charged as an adult, is pictured above, displaying what appear to be the after effects of the "struggle." Click to enlarge

This child made a serious mistake of hanging around the wrong crowd. I pray someone in our justice system will have mercy on him and afford him the chance to reform his life. He's just a kid. God help the USA, when we give a lifetime of punishment to every kid for making a stupid mistake.

Looks like Paul may have had a rough life. If he had been with his father, this would have never happened. He would have lived a totally different life. Paul, I hope you get a chance to read this. I am your cousin.I love you. Im sorry under these circumstances that we had to find you, but we have never stopped looking.

I agree with Gina. I looks like he might be missing something at home. I feel all he might need is some counseling. Those other guys that he was with might have a long history with the legal system. Please give him another chance>

Paul Rashon Atterberry is my child I have not been able to tell him I love him and guide him over the years. I can assure those that read this article that he is not a criminal. Behind the hair and scares on his face I can see in his eyes that he has experienced a lot of pain. I do sincerely apologize for the pain that he may have caused anybody and I am very grateful that his life was not taken. As a father who has not been their, It is critical for a father to be their. Please give my son another chance.
