Prosecutors said Creighton was able to get out of the vehicle at the Harris Teeter store at 14101 Darnestown Road in Germantown.

Because the victim in the case is a Montgomery County judge, the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office has asked the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office to handle all matters related to it.
