According to Howard County police, on on the 11000 block of Ridermark Row, in Columbia, when they say Robert W. Stone, 43, of Columbia, was walking near a house wearing a mask, dark clothes and gloves.
Police say when they approached Stone, he ran to the vehicle they had been investigating. He tried to drive away, police said, but officers were able to detain him.
The back door of the house Stone was walking by had been smashed with a rock and the home had been burglarized, police determined. Stone was arrested at the scene.
Police subsequently searched Stone’s residence and said they found evidence that linked him to other burglaries, including a July 14 burglary on the 6800 block of Creekside Road in Clarksville.
In that theft, police said the burglar entered the house through an unlocked window and stole a safe with a green coin purse of foreign currency, jewelry, the deed to a house and additional documents.
According to police, during the search of Stone's house they found a green coin purse which the Clarksville resident identified as hers.
Police also charged Stone in an Aug. 31 burglary on the 5900 block of Bright Flows Mews in Columbia. The victim told police that he woke up at about 3:40 a.m. to a man in his bedroom, looking over the dresser.
The victim told police he yelled at the man to leave, which he did. Police say that an investigation revealed that a sheer, gold bag with gift cards had been stolen from the home.
Police said that during the Nov. 22 search of Stone's house, they had found a sheer, gold bag with gift cards.
Stone had been released on bail after his Nov. 22 arrest, but Howard County police issued a new warrant and he was arrested by Baltimore City Police.

Why was he not prosecuted. He also has racked up quite the cost to the taxpayer on all his traffic offenses. It is these people who cost the taxpayers hundreds of millions a year in criminal justice costs.
OR they could let those with marijuana use/possession type cases out and make room for the more violent and/or dangerous.
Marijuana smokers has I'm fairly certain ever been charged with or convicted of any of those types of offenses. Pot smokers are content to simply "chill" and are certainly not aggressive in any form or fashion. And you could look that up or google it yourself. And did you know that it is now legal in some states and DC for medical use, as it should be. Now if the feds would just let those states decide for themselves without arresting those with valid prescriptions at licensed dispensaries with the crime of possession. And just for the record I'm well into my 50's and choose to not use the stuff myself and haven't for a long, long time. But, I do remember high school in the early 70's and you would have been hard pressed to find anyone who didn't get "high" from time to time. Again, if those folks were let go there would be so much more room made to accomodate those more prone to violence or more serious crimes.
for crying out loud I do wish some would at least educate themselve a bit before flying off the handle with ridiculous comments. SMH
