From Staff ReportsCumberland Times-News

— CUMBERLAND -

A Potomac Park resident threatened in his own home by a man with a knife demanding money, was able to defend himself Saturday afternoon and flee to a neighbor's home.The suspect then tried to enter another home but again was fought off by the resident. He finally barricaded himself into a third, but unoccupied, home. A search, which involved numerous law enforcement agencies, including the Maryland State Police Medevac helicopter, finally brought the incident to an end about 1:36 p.m.Michael Ray Albright, no age given, of the 13900 block of Black Valley Road, Flintstone, was charged by C3I with several felony charges including first-degree burglary, first-degree assault, armed robbery and theft.The Maryland State Police at LaVale said Albright apparently was in a Pansy Street home in Potomac Park initially when the homeowner returned.Police said Albright, wearing a bandana, allegedly pointed a knife at the man and wanted money. After a fight, the victim went to a neighbor's house and call 911.As troopers were on the way, another victim called and said a man was at his home saying his car was broken down and he needed to use the phone. He then allegedly tried to force his way into the house but ran when he heard police sirens.Trooper 5, along with the state police, the Department of Natural Resources K-9 unit, Allegany County Sheriff's Office and C3I, searched the area, eventually learning Albright allegedly had broken into an unoccupied home.Police said they surrounded the house and later entered it where they arrested Albright.Albright was being held late Sunday in the Allegany County Detention Center on $250,000 bond.
