Arrest in downtown Silver Spring attempted robbery


A would-be strong-arm robber failed to make a getaway in downtown Silver Spring early on the afternoon of April 30, 2024, Montgomery County police say, instead ending up in the custody of Montgomery's Finest. The suspect approached the adult male victim near the intersection of Georgia and Sligo Avenues around 1:11 PM. Police allege that the suspect attempted to use physical force to obtain property belonging to the victim.

Instead, a Montgomery County police officer arrested Taleem Lee, 29, of downtown Silver Spring. Lee has been charged with felony armed robbery, and illegal dumping of less than 100 pounds. Judge Michael O. Glynn III ordered Lee held without bond at a hearing on May 1. Court records indicate Lee had been arrested for misdemeanor theft on March 14, and posted a $500 bond to gain his release the next day. Fourteen days later, he was arrested and charged with misdemeanor theft again, and issued a "non-traffic citation."
