From the Harford County Sheriff’s Office:
Harford County Sheriff Office Detectives are currently investigating three armed robberies from this weekend.
The first armed robbery occurred on January 23, 2015 in the 1200 block of Main Street in Darlington. At approximately 11:13 pm, 3 black males and 1 white male entered the High’s store, each wearing dark clothing with their faces covered. Two of the suspects displayed a handgun and demanded money and cigarettes from the clerks. The store employees complied, handing over an undisclosed amount of cash and cigarettes. The suspects fled on foot and headed in the direction of Conowingo Road.
The second incident occurred shortly before 10:00 pm on January 25th, in the 2100 block of Pulaski Highway. Deputies were called to the scene of an armed robbery and reported shooting. Upon arrival, the victim, a 49 year old male, was found to have been shot in the neck with a small caliber weapon, which could have been a pellet or BB gun, creating a superficial wound. Deputies learned that the two suspects, called for a cab ride from Edgewater Drive, in Edgewood; when the driver went to drop off the suspects on Magnolia Woods Court, the suspects displayed a weapon and demanded money. The victim complied, but was fired at by the suspects, before they fled the scene. The suspects were identified, by deputies, as Amber Marie Parks, age 20 and Timothy Antonio Parland, age 26, both of Edgewood. Parks and Parland were taken into custody on January 26, 2015 and transported to the Harford County Detention Center where they are awaiting an initial appearance before a commissioner.
The third incident occurred at approximately 12:05 am on January 26th, and resulted in two arrests. Deputies were called to the 900 block of Rumsey Place in Joppa, MD in reference the report of an armed robbery. It was determined that two victims, male age 28 and female age 29, were sitting in their car when they were approached by one suspect. The suspect approached the driver’s side and demanded the contents of the female victim’s purse. After canvassing the area, two suspects, identified as Briondre R. Gaines, 23 from Edgewood, and Khalil Terraine Scruggs, age 21 of Havre de Grace, were located, by deputies and taken into custody. Both were charged with robbery with a firearm, theft, and assault. Detectives are still working to locate the third suspect who fled on foot. Gaines is being held at the Harford County Detention Center without bail, and Scruggs is being held on $100,000 bail.
At this time, these incidents do not appear to be connected.

Their Facebook pages are still active. Have fun!

This is what I mean. Stick vegetables up her dress like the gone stealing video.
Kharn says
Ms Parks appears to have been crying.
Crying that she got caught, remorseful of what she’s gotten herself into, or sad that Hug-a-Thug isn’t the order of the day anymore?
NotPC says
She probably never read “Othello”.
Randomjoe1 says
Hug a thug is long gone thank goodness. Now people aren’t afraid to make lock-ups or go out and be the police.
hadenough says
This white gurl obviously corrupted this fine young black men. How dare her!! These black men deserve better. Where in the hell is Al Sharpton and shouldn’t Senator STFU be releasing a statement of sorts?
HYDESMANN says
I’ll bet they all have extensive records. Want to stop or at least slow down crime? Bring back the chain gang, make prisoners break big rocks into little rocks 10 hours a day, take away cable TV and gyms, stop plea bargaining for most crimes and sentence appropriately, like 10 years in these cases. Criminals won’t be in such a hurry to destroy someones life for a few bucks and some cigs and they won’t be in a hurry to get back in jail.
hmmm... says
Remember… prison ‘aint over crowded ’til you can’t get the door shut.
Kharn says
I liked the old prison model where the inmates were working farms growing their own food, making their own clothes, etc.
Soul Crusher 2 says
Briondre?
Khalil?
WTF kind of names are those? Looks like a jumble of Hot Pockets flavors.
In all seriousness, are these the people that are not allowed to approach the dais?
Hadenough says
Easy with that impressive verbiage.
Don’t want to see you branded as a racist for speaking English.
Pavel314 says
How does “Timothy” fit into this scenario? Black criminals usually have uppity ghetto names, like the other two boys.
SoulCrusher says
Ahhh, racial stereotypes. You gotta love Hateford County…..
Open your eyes says
When will the black community, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, Obama, to name a few, acknowledge that African Americans are involved in a disproportionate amount of criminal acts in this country instead of always making excuses?
SoulCrusher says
Probably, when Rednecks like you, admit that a police officer will shoot an African American quicker than any other race of American…..
Open your eyes says
@ SoulCrusher
Who was talking about police shootings silly man. Being able to analyze and interpret data does not make one a redneck or a racist. It makes you a realist. Examine the numbers. From your posts, in most cases, you seem like a reasonably intelligent person. Figures don’t lie. Accountability and a plan of action could save lives particularly those of African Americans. Lose the hostility and offer some helpful advice. You might make a difference.
SoulCrusher says
A question was asked. An answer was given. I found the question sarcastic and of skewed reasoning. It was answered with the same degree sarcasm, yet genuine reasoning. Those statistics you refer to are skewed by the fact that most African Americans are born into poverty, in high crime areas, that are virtually impossible to escape. Those same statistics are further distorted by the fact that a negative police presence has been instilled into the majority of their lives. I found no accountability or a plan of action in the question, so none was offered. I am a realist. Probably the most honest of all the Dagger Trolls on here. You’re right, figures don’t lie. More unarmed African American males are gunned down by police in this country than any other race. I’m not being hostile, just offering an opinion from an opposite polarity than yours. I doubt my opinion or advice would ever help anybody, especially since I’m nothing but a criminal, remember……..
Practical Guy says
HdG is a fairly low crime city because most citizens, regardless of their name or color, show respect for their fellow citizens. I want to be the first to congratulate Mr. Khalil for having the courtesy to do his crime away from his home town of HdG. 😉 If found guilty, I hope the courts will keep him out of HdG (and Joppa) for a long time.
