A Baltimore City Circuit Court judge placed a 33-year-old defendant’s case on the court’s stet docket on April 20 after he was charged with firing a gun into the air while driving away from a Royal Farms gas station in South Baltimore last year.

The incident in question occurred on Jan. 22, 2022, on the 3600 block of Potee Street, where video surveillance footage captured defendant William Yourman getting out of the driver’s seat of a black Dodge Charger and going into the Royal Farms. A witness told Baltimore Police Department officers that the defendant was talking about something that happened “the day before yesterday” and then left the store.

Video footage showed Yourman enter and exit the Royal Farms twice, firing a handgun in the air through his car window as he drove away.

Thursday’s proceeding was held before Judge Kendra Ausby who placed the case on the stet docket after discussions with the prosecution and defense attorney T. Wray McCurdy. Both parties can reopen the case at any time in its first year on the stet docket, but must show probable case in the second and third years.
