ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Charging documents reveal details on what led a man to point a firearm at three young girls in Annapolis on Saturday night.
Police officers responded to a home in the 1700 block of Point No Point Drive in Annapolis at 9:10 p.m. after a parent alerted police that their daughter and her friends were knocking on doors in an effort to sing Christmas carols in the neighborhood when a neighbor, identified as Paul Brian Susie, 58, pulled a gun on them.
According to charging documents, the victims, who are all 12 years old, told police that when they knocked on Brian's door to announce they were there for Christmas caroling, Susie came to the bay window to the left of the door with his handgun drawn and pointed it directly at them, prompting the victims to run to the 500 block of Choptank Cove Court.
Officers spoke with Susie at his home, and he admitted to pointing his gun at the young girls.
A .40-caliber Glock handgun was also recovered from a gun safe in the house and was found to be loaded, charging documents say.
Police found that Susie was a Maryland Gun Permit holder, but also learned that he had consumed alcohol before the incident.
Officers also noted that Susie was exhibiting "loud and belligerent" behavior during their conversation with him.
Susie was arrested and taken into custody.
He is charged with first- and second-degree assault and other related charges, according to police.
