Howard County police have charged a Mount Airy man, accusing him of shooting out the windshield of an armored police vehicle as it approached his home to serve a search warrant.County police said officers arrived Thursday at the Shaffersville Road residence of Karl Tomanek, 34, to serve a search warrant after identifying him as a suspect in an April burglary in Marriottsville in which $25,000 in equipment was stolen. Actual vehicles were removed from the property, as well as other equipment, so we think it happened over a series of time while the residents were not there, Howard County police spokeswoman Sherry Llewellyn said.As police approached Tomanek s house, Tomanek, armed with a shotgun, fired two shots directly at the driver s side of the police vehicle, police said.Police said officers did not return fire and instead gave immediate verbal commands to take him into custody. In fact, in all of 2020 and all of 2019, our officers never fired at a single person, Llewellyn
