Pa. Inmate Caught With Guns In Hagerstown
HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- Hagerstown police say a man who threatened to kill people with an assault rifle is an escaped inmate from Pennsylvania.
Woodrow Carmack, 21, was being held Monday on bond of more than $650,000.
The Hagerstown Herald-Mail reports that police responded Saturday night to a call about a man in Army fatigues walking along Pennsylvania Avenue, carrying a large duffel bag containing an assault rifle.
They arrested Carmack after a foot chase. In the bag, police found a loaded AK-47, more than 100 rounds of ammunition and a large knife.
They say Carmack later told medical workers he planned to shoot people.
Police say Carmack escaped from Bucks County, Pa. He was sentenced in February to nine-to-23 months for aggravated assault, weapon possession and making terroristic threats.
