16-year-old indicted in Columbia gun incident
A Howard County grand jury indicted a 16-year-old Columbia resident on charges stemming from the attempted robbery of a security guard near the Long Reach Village Center in Columbia this month. Darnell Rasheen Furby was indicted Wednesday on charges of first-degree assault, theft of less than $500; second-degree assault, use of a handgun in the commission of a felony violent crime; and conspiracy to commit assault in the second degree. Furby is one of three people arrested in connection with the crime. Police said they received a number of calls the evening of May 13 from people who heard a series of gunshots in the 8800 block of Flowerstock Row. Investigators arrived and discovered a 27-year-old security guard who said he'd been confronted by three men and punched in the face. One of the assailants fired several shots at him as he fled.
