PGPD Charges Two Suspects Who Participated in an Illegal Car Rally

Gus William Roth

Blake Matthew Miller

The Prince George’s County Police Department charged two men from Pennsylvania who participated in an illegal car rally in Prince George’s County. The suspects are 23-year-old Blake Miller of East Berlin, PA, and 22-year-old Gus Roth of Hanover, PA.

From approximately 10:00 PM on February 21, 2026, through the early morning of February 22, 2026, PGPD officers and multiple agency resources took part in a joint operation with the Maryland State Police and additional regional partner agencies targeting illegal car rallies. Multiple gatherings were disrupted or prevented altogether in Prince George’s County and neighboring jurisdictions.

An occupant in a participating car was observed swapping license plates. Despite this effort to conceal the car, officers soon located it on Allentown Road. As officers approached, the driver, Miller, attempted to flee and struck multiple cars. He then tried to run away but was quickly apprehended. The passenger, Roth, attempted to flee but was also taken into custody. Officers located a weapon and ammunition inside the car.

 

 

Miller is facing multiple traffic-related offenses. Roth is charged in connection with the firearm. The car was impounded.

 “These arrests reinforce our consistent message that illegal car rallies are extremely dangerous and will not be tolerated. Additionally, Maryland State Police made two separate arrests involving a firearm during this operation. Together, the PGPD and our partner agencies will continue to enforce laws against illegal car rallies. My message is loud and clear: do not come into Prince George’s County or any of our neighboring jurisdictions and engage in this dangerous and illegal behavior. These car rallies cause havoc in our streets and take police resources out of our community. I encourage county residents and our media partners to follow these cases through the entire judicial process,” said PGPD Chief George Nader.

In addition to the arrests of Miller and Roth, PGPD conducted a total of eight traffic stops, impounded two vehicles, and issued 15 citations.

 

Prince George's County Crime Solvers is offering a reward of up to $500 for information that helps prevent an illegal car rally before it can occur. Anyone with information may contact Crime Solvers online at www.pgcrimesolvers.com, the “P3 Tips” mobile app (search “P3 Tips” in the Apple Store or Google Play to download the app onto your mobile device), or call 1-866-411-TIPS (8477).
