The Montgomery County Police Department continues to be vindicated in its expressed belief that traffic stops have tremendous value in combating crime, and boosting public safety, in contrast to their critics on the Montgomery County Council. Once again, in the early morning hours of November 23, 2024, a traffic stop in Germantown yielded a loaded gun that the possessor was not legally authorized to have. The gun was allegedly uncovered in a vehicle pulled over near the intersection of Father Hurley Boulevard and Germantown Road.
Shanita Hackett, 42, of no fixed address was arrested at the scene. According to Maryland court records, she has been charged with possession of a handgun, possession of a loaded handgun, illegal possession of a registered firearm, possession of a firearm with a felony conviction, illegal possession of ammunition, two counts of 2nd-degree assault, malicious destruction of property, resisting arrest, and obstructing and hindering an officer. Hackett is being held without bond pending a preliminary hearing in Montgomery County District Court in Rockville on December 20.
