Police obtained a risk warrant and risk protection order followed by an arrest warrant and the preliminary investigation revealed that George was allegedly stalking a family member for several months.
According to police, an additional arrest warrant was granted. In total, George is charged with illegal possession of an assault weapon, manufacture of a ghost gun, electronic stalking and second-degree stalking. He was held on a combined $400,000 bond and was arraigned at Rockville Superior Court on Friday.
