He was taken into custody without incident.

Urbana, Md (KM) Charges have been filed in connection with a firearm incident Friday morning in Urbana. Adrienne Mendoza Milam, 48, is charged with three counts of reckless endangerment, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, illegal possession of a regulated firearm, illegal possession of ammunition, possession of narcotics with a firearm and violation of a strict protection order.

The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office said officers were called to a home in the 3800 block of Braveheart Drive around 9:30 a.m. for an unknown emergency. When they arrived, they heard gunshots.
