Teen Faces Multiple Charges After Shots Fired During Pasadena House Party: Police

PASADENA, MD — An 18-year-old boy armed with a handgun is facing multiple charges for firing off one round into the air during a house party in Pasadena over the weekend, police said.

Anne Arundel County Police said in a Monday release that the house party was being held on the 200 block of 10th St. Officers were called to the scene for a report of shots fired just before midnight on Saturday.

The teenager was identified by police as Carter Lewis Jacobs, of Pasadena, although court records list an Essex address.

Investigators said Jacobs ran from the house after the firearm was discharged. He was later found running into a wooded area by officers and a K-9 unit canvassing the area.

Jacobs was apprehended with a 9mm Taurus handgun in his possession, according to police.

Court records list Jacobs as being charged with eight offenses, including first-degree assault. The majority of the charges are misdemeanors and include disorderly conduct, reckless endangerment, and second-degree assault, among other firearm violations.

Jacobs remains held without bond. He is scheduled to appear in court for a bail hearing on Monday. A preliminary hearing is set for Nov. 25.
