Pasadena Man

An 18-year-old Pasadena man was charged yesterday in the death of a child in Glen Burnie last spring, police said. DeAndre Anthony Jones of the 7900 block of Liberty Circle surrendered to police Tuesday afternoon, one week after a grand jury issued a warrant for his arrest in the killing of 3-year-old Jaysia Lana Larue. The girl was found unconscious in her mother's Glen Burnie apartment on May 13. The child was the daughter of Jones' girlfriend, Jennifer Veney of Woodhill Drive.

A high-performance racing boat that went airborne and flipped over last weekend on the Chesapeake Bay, killing at least one of its two occupants, was being tested at high speeds at the time of the accident, authorities said yesterday. Police said yesterday that Edwin J. Mosmiller Jr., 52, a Baltimore-based powerboat manufacturer who lived in Pasadena, was killed in the accident. His body was found strapped by a safety harness to a seat in the overturned 40-foot catamaran. Maryland Natural Resources Police ended their search at nightfall yesterday for Roger B. Madden, 42, of Pasadena, who has been missing since the accident Sunday afternoon about three miles east of Gibson Island.

The man who Anne Arundel County police said they had connected to a first-degree rape Friday in Pasadena turned himself in yesterday afternoon, police said. A 33-year-old Pasadena man walked into the Eastern District police station on Mountain Road yesterday afternoon and told officers he was the person responsible for a rape and attack Friday near his home, police said. The man was being held at the station last night pending charges, said Lt. Joseph Jordan, a spokesman for the Police Department.

A man died Sunday night after being hit by a truck as he tried to cross Mountain Road in Pasadena, Anne Arundel County police said yesterday. Lance Edward Mitchell of the 8000 block of Escalon Ave. in Pasadena left Lightning Jacks Bar & Grill in the 2800 block of Mountain Road and started walking east about 8 p.m., police said. Mitchell, 37, was drinking, witnesses said. Mitchell was apparently crossing the road when he was hit by a westbound 2001 Dodge pickup driven by Shawn James Rebstock of Pasadena.

A federal judge in Baltimore ruled yesterday that a $10 million excessive-force claim can go forward against an FBI agent who shot an unarmed Pasadena man in the face after mistaking him for a bank robber. It was a key hurdle in the closely watched case involving Special Agent Christopher R. Braga, who shot Joseph C. Schultz with an M-4 rifle during a botched arrest March 1 last year. In a 24-page opinion, U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz ruled that there was not enough evidence to dismiss Schultz's claim.

Lief Anderson grabbed his bright-orange extension cord to throw as a lifeline and raced to the community pier Monday afternoon when he saw a 14-year- old plunge into the icy waters of Cockey Creek in Pasadena. An hour earlier, several miles away, another 14-year-old had hoisted himself to safety after briefly being totally submerged in the barely frozen Marley Creek in Glen Burnie. Both teen-agers narrowly escaped serious injury. But emergency workers fear that as freezing temperatures continue, curious youths -- who might not have seen such ice in several years -- will keep falling through thinly ice-coated bodies of water in the Baltimore area.

A Pasadena man was in guarded condition last night after being pulled from the Ventnor marina following a boat fire in which he was badly burned. Ronald George, 48, told authorities he had just refueled his 31-foot yacht and was trying to start the engine when a "flash fire" erupted in the cabin, according to county fire Division Chief John M. Scholz. George, whose arms, face and stomach were scorched, emerged from the cabin and dove into the water, Scholz said. Another boat owner pulled the man onto the dock, he said.
