Driver stopped by a man running into the street, robbed at knifepoint
Bowie Police are investigating an aggravated robbery where a man ran into the road where a car stopped and the subject threatened the driver with a knife demanding money.
Chief Guy Green said the incident occurred about 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 21 in the 700 block of Lee Street. Sgt. Kurt Berryman was patrolling the area when he was flagged down by Julie Gunter and her daughter Camberley.
The police report states Camberley Gunter said she was driving by herself on Miller Street when a man ran into the street and she stopped, shocked because he had come out of nowhere and she feared she might hit him. She was going to let the window down just a small crack, but the automatic window went down further than she wanted. The man then reportedly threatened her with a knife and demanded money. She threw $10 out the window and he ran away, while she also sped away.
