ELLICOTT CITY, MD — Police in Maryland say a man has been charged with assault for using a slingshot to fire glass marbles at a speed camera van.

Authorities say Bruce Lawrence May of Ellicott City was arrested Tuesday. The 50-year-old Lawrence was also charged with destruction of property and reckless endangerment. He was released on $3,000 bond.

Howard County police say that at about 5 p.m. Tuesday, the van was near Manor Woods Elementary School when the operator heard something hit the side of the vehicle. The operator saw a minivan pass and saw the driver with a slingshot fire another projectile at the speed camera van.

Police say that May had received two speed camera violations recently.

Some are so small you'd never see them unless you were looking for them.

Hard to see how he could be as he was not aiming at the person inside

Stupid state officials where I live thought they had done a great thing by hiring camera vans to catch speeders. Well that was all done with after a month. Cause most of those lawmakers and judges were caught by the van!!!! LOL Since then no one's even mentioned cameras except to monitor traffic flow.

high powered paint ball guns FTW!!!
