Anne Arundel County Man Charged in Alleged Gun Threat to 12-Year-Old Carolers

Overview

• Police say three 12-year-olds knocked to sing in Epping Forest when a man appeared in a bay window and pointed a handgun directly at them.
• Officers retraced the children’s route to the 1700 block of Point No Point Drive and identified the suspect as 58-year-old Paul Brian Susie.
• Susie admitted he was the person involved and acknowledged having at least one drink, according to charging documents.
• An officer wrote that Susie was likely under the influence; police seized a firearm from a safe and confirmed he holds a handgun permit through the Maryland State Police Gun Center.
• He was arrested Saturday and faces three counts each of first- and second-degree assault and reckless endangerment, plus one count of wearing or carrying a handgun while under the influence, before being released Sunday on unsecured bond.
