Baltimore County police release body camera footage of March shootout outside city police station

Baltimore County Police on Wednesday released the body camera footage and identified the suspect that officers followed across the city line and shot outside the Southwestern District police station last month, leaving the man in critical condition.

Samuel Andrew Arnold, 21, has been charged with several counts of assault and a weapon violation after a rifle was recovered from the scene, police said.

The body camera footage recorded a confrontation between Arnold, a Forest Hill resident, and the officers who were searching for him because he matched the description of a man who had earlier pulled a weapon on a Catonsville resident and then fled the scene.

Shortly before 6 p.m. March 17, the officers’ search reached Baltimore city and eventually brought them to an SUV parked in the 500 block of Hurley Ave., near the police station in the Gwynn Falls neighborhood.
