Carroll County Circuit Court Judge Brian L. DeLeonardo sentenced a Westminster man to 10 years in prison for his role in a March 2023 armed robbery at a Westminster Crossing Shopping Center ATM.

Daniel Moss, 59, pleaded guilty in June, according to a news release from the Carroll County State’s Attorney, and has “a lengthy criminal record involving several crimes related to fraud, theft, impaired driving, sexual abuse of a minor and fleeing and eluding police. His sentence in this case was made consecutive to other sentences he is serving in other jurisdictions within Maryland.

Moss is also accused of attempting to evade Baltimore police the day after the Westminster armed robbery, which ended in a crash that killed Linda Moss, 74, a passenger in his car. Daniel and Linda Moss are not legally married, though he claimed they had been married for five years, according to the news release.

Charges from Baltimore City are pending.

Body-worn camera footage showed that a Baltimore Police vehicle pursued Moss for about 10 minutes after a license plate reader alerted officers to the vehicle’s presence in the city. The roughly 6-mile chase from Reservoir Hill to Roland Park in Baltimore ended when Moss struck a parked car and tree, just after officers in the pursuing vehicle were instructed to, “ease off,” according to the Maryland Office of the Attorney General. Moss was hospitalized for non-life-threatening injuries after the crash; no officers were injured.

Baltimore Police policies prohibit officers from chasing fleeing vehicles in cases where the initial violation is considered a crime against property, but officers can pursue if a suspected felon’s vehicle is deemed to be posing an immediate threat. The high-speed pursuit was lawful, according to a report released by the state attorney’s office. Officer Bradley Roberson who operated the pursuing vehicle has worked for the department for a year and a half, while his passenger Officer Menachem Rosenbloom has worked for the department for two and a half years. Both officers have been assigned to administrative duties, police said.

Paul Yackanicz, the son of Linda Moss, told The Baltimore Sun last year that his mother was a bubbly and flamboyant woman who excelled as a grandmother. Linda Moss grew up in Laurel and spent the majority of her life in Maryland. After her third husband died, Linda Moss “fell off the deep end,” Yackanicz said.

His relationship with his mother fractured, he said when she started dating and then apparently married Daniel Moss, who was a registered sex offender and 15 years younger. Yackanicz said he believes that Daniel Moss took advantage of his mother.

Carroll County State’s Attorney Haven Shoemaker said it became apparent that Daniel and Linda Moss were not legally married when Daniel Moss sought to inherit her property.

Shoemaker said in a statement that the sentence, “[takes] a dangerous career criminal off the streets and puts him where he will not be able to harm anyone else.”
