Baltimore County Police have arrested a suspect for robbing a Mars Store in Arbutus.
Jamison Harvey Johnson, 40, has been arrested and charged with robbing the Mars store on the 1000-block of Maiden Choice Lane.
Johnson entered the store shortly before 7:00 p.m. Saturday and went to the Customer Service office where he demanded, and was given, an undisclosed amount of cash.
A store security officer followed Johnson to the store exit and there was an exchange of gunfire as the suspect got into his car and drove off.
The security officer was not injured in the exchange.
The car, a green Honda Accord, was found a short time later at the end of Wilton Farm Drive.
An extensive search was launched and an officer, who had been involved in the search, spotted Johnson walking on Kenwood Drive. After a brief foot chase, he was arrested.
Johnson was first taken to Shock Trauma for treatment of wounds he received in the exchange of gunfire. He was then taken to a court commissioner and formally charged with armed robbery, attempted murder, and handgun violations.
Bail was denied, and he is being held in the Baltimore County Detention Center.
