A Pasadena Man's Early Morning Rampage
October 8th Incident Leads to Multiple Charges
In the early hours of October 8th, Ryan Houser, aged 34, found himself in serious legal trouble after a disturbing incident at a neighbor's house in Pasadena.
Disturbing Behavior and Charges
According to police reports, Houser was accused of:
- Shouting racial slurs
- Demanding residents come outside
- Breaking property
Houser now faces serious charges, including:
- Hate crimes
- Attempted burglary
- Property damage
If found guilty on all counts, he could face up to six and a half years in prison.
The Incident Unfolds
The homeowner called the police around 3:30 a.m. and reported a man ringing their doorbell and shouting offensive language. The man was later identified as Houser.
Houser escalated the situation by:
- Smashed a window and the front door with a wooden pole
- Attempted to open the locked door
- Damaged two parked cars, cracking their windshields
Legal Consequences
The police are treating this as a hate crime, believing Houser's actions were motivated by racial bias.
After the incident, Houser was taken to the Jennifer Road Detention Center in Annapolis and faced five charges. However, a judge released him on his own recognizance the next day.
The case was initially handled in Glen Burnie District Court but was later moved to circuit court. The next hearing is scheduled for December 12th.
A Reminder of Consequences
This case serves as a stark reminder that actions have consequences, and hate speech can lead to serious legal trouble.
