Anne Arundel County Police officers were patrolling on foot near Stillmeadows Drive and Durness Court in Severn when they saw a group of boys loitering in an area known for drug distribution around 6 p.m., according to a department spokesperson.
Francis Valla Koroma, 19, of Severn, as well as a 17-year-old male from Millersville, “displayed characteristics of being armed” and fled as the officers approached, but were caught after a brief foot chase, police said.
One of them was allegedly found with a loaded 9mm Glock pistol with fully automatic capability and about 20 grams of suspected crack cocaine that had been packaged for distribution.
The other had a loaded Polymer 80 Glock-style handgun with an extended magazine holding 33 rounds, police said, adding that both are banned from firearm possession.
Koroma and the 17-year-old were arrested and charged accordingly.
