From the Harford County Sheriff’s Office:
Harford County Sheriff’s Office Detectives close two holiday armed robberies after the 38-year old suspect commits suicide on I-695, in Baltimore County.
On Sunday, December 27, 2020, patrol deputies with the Harford County Sheriff’s Office were assisting Detectives with the Criminal Investigations Division in the surveillance of a “person of interest” in multiple commercial armed robberies occurring throughout Harford County. At approximately 7:34 a.m., the male subject was observed entering his Honda Accord in the area of the 2800 block of Churchville Road in Churchville. This is the same vehicle seen leaving at least one of the robberies.
Patrol deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop in the area of Rt. 136 and Rt. 543. The vehicle stopped then accelerated refusing to yield to pursuing deputies. The vehicle continued south on MD Rt. 543 then MD Rt 7 toward Baltimore County. Upon entering Baltimore County, HCSO was replaced by units from the Baltimore County Police Department who continued attempts to stop the vehicle.
While driving on I-695 near Eastern Avenue, the suspect took his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot. He was transported to a local trauma center, where he was pronounced dead.
Detectives have concluded that the suspect, identified as Thomas R. Hoerr III, 38, of Forest Hill, was a suspect in three Harford County crimes. After search and seizure warrants were fully executed on Hoerr’s vehicle and residence, evidence was collected that connects Hoerr to the following robberies:
– Armed Robbery 12/22/20; High’s located in the 2900 block of Churchville Road, in Churchville;
– Armed Robbery 12/26/20; 7-11 located in the 3500 block of Philadelphia Road, in Abingdon; and
– Armed Robbery being investigated by Aberdeen Police Department.
The investigation remains active and ongoing. No further information will be released at this time. Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division at 410-879-7929. Any questions about the Aberdeen armed robbery should be directed to the Aberdeen Police Department.
Gordon is a hack clown says
Wait for it, wait for it….Gordon, ready to blame this on a Trump supporter? Or are you going to Monday morning QB law enforcement on this one??? You asshat
Gordon the clown says
Wait for it, wait for it… Is Gordon going to blame this on a Trump supporter? Or, is he going to Monday Morning Quarterback this one and blame law enforcement??? Let’s see what the asshat does…
Here it comes says
Anyone want to wager how long before Truth be Told critiques the police actions on this incident? Especially because it involved the Harford County Sheriffs Dept.
Billy Butcher says
Truth Be Told Is a Jizz Mopper!
Truth Be Told says
The Keystone Cops? Did Gahler himself get involved, or is he not up for reelection so he doesn’t actually leave his office now? More importantly is the crime spree going on in Harford County. Is anyone safe anymore in the Abingdon area?
Open Your Eyes says
Keystone Cops???? In less than a week the Harford County Sheriff’s Office identified a suspect and cleared three armed robberies. Do you have the remotest idea what you are talking about. The citizens of Harford County should be very proud of their Sheriff’s Office. I have been reading your posts for a while and respectfully request you to explain your contempt for Harford County law enforcement, the Maryland State Police, and the Maryland Transportation Authority Police. Did they reject you from employment? Did they arrest you or a member of your family? Did your girlfriend or boyfriend leave you for a police officer? Finally, please tell me how you would have handled the armed robbery investigations if you were in charge. Posts such as yours without further justification makes you look like a pompous ass. I am anxiously awaiting your response.
Truth Be Told says
They did all that and managed not to shoot themselves in the foot as well. We should all be impressed.
What is your great love affair with the HCSO? Perhaps you are Gahler himself? I can see it now. Gahler is sitting at his big desk trolling dagger press to see what the minions are saying about him. Quite frankly they don’t impress me. MTA PD are even worse. Bunch of cops watching a bridge trying to figure out where they will get their next donut. MSP is very similar to HCSO. Why would that be? Because Gahler is a retired State Police Trooper. Harford County is a cesspool for Law Enforcement agencies just like its Government. Great place to simply pass on through!
Open Your Eyes says
You have answered none of my questions. You have justified none of your assertions. I am trying to enter in to an intelligent conversation but quite frankly you are coming off as a pompous ass.
Billy Butcher says
Like I said Truth Be Told is a jizz mopper….
Truth Be Told says
Ah Billy how would you know what a jizz mopper is? Personal experience? Or perhaps its a personal desire of yours.
Truth Be Told says
Not really….Your disingenuous at best and I am not going to take your bait. Suffice it to say the HCSO and more so Mr. Gahler are not impressive in the least. If you believe otherwise then that’s your right. So go play with someone else. I bet this is Gahler isn’t it!
Truth Be Jizz Mopping says
Hey Truth Be Told, what’s your issue? Did you get rejected for employment? Maybe it’s when you got asked if you ever jizz mopped during the polygraph and you said “no”, it raised some flags for failure to be truthful. He bud, Sheriff’s office isn’t for everyone. The world needs jizz moppers like you. Not all hero’s wear capes, but you do and you use it to wipe up schmegma…
Open Your Eyes says
“Bait” I am not sure what you are trying to say. I asked you to explain yourself nothing more nothing less. You have made assertions that you are unable to back up. Please tell us why, based on your vast knowledge and experiences, that you feel the aforementioned police agencies are inadequate and inferior. I request the question to be answered intelligently and in totality. I am not really interested in isolated incidents. You have painted several police agencies with a really broad stroke. I have another silly question. If these agencies are operating so badly why have you, a self proclaimed expert, not forwarded your concerns to either the MD Police Training Commission or the Attorney General’s Office? I think we both know why. Still waiting.
SoulCrusher says
It isn’t their job to impress you. It is their job to protect and serve. I think the HCSO did a good job for locking up an armed robbery suspect, as armed robbery is a common law crime and they have jurisdiction over common law crime. I only object when they enforce code that is not within their jurisdiction, but in this instance they were totally just. However, you have your opinion and you can type what you want, but don’t be surprised or offended when some one else comments about how idiotic your opinion is. Those who are commenting against you may get offended that you’re offended….

With a name like “The Dagger” I should have known this was really a site for homoerotic fan-fiction and hookups.
Billy Butcher says
Is that why are here? In the search of stray D…you should get up with Truth Be Told, he can fill you in about grinder

Billy Butcher, do.you like thunderstorms?
Billy Butcher says
Lori, do you like golden showers???
Lori Treply says
Mean!
Hey, want to go on a date?

Only if you are 300lbs and look like the kin of Sasquatch.
