According to police, a 30-year-old woman reported that she was in the 2600 block of Roslyn Avenue on Saturday when she was approached by Ross, who held her up at gunpoint and stole an undisclosed amount of cash from her.
He then fled the area, officials say, but he didn't make it far and he was apprehended by responding officers, who tracked him down and recovered a handgun with an extended magazine that was reportedly used in the robbery.
Ross is facing armed robbery and handgun violations following the incident. No information about his next court appearance was released by the Baltimore Police Department.
