Anne Arundel Circuit Court Judge Mark W. Crooks sentenced Tashya Johnson, 34, of Glen Burnie to 14 years in prison for one count of negligent manslaughter for the death of 16-year-old Tyrese Glenn and for driving while intoxicated and endangering the lives of two other teenagers, including her own child who was in the vehicle. Judge Crooks noted that this was one of the most reprehensible cases and sentenced Johnson to the maximum sentences for her crimes.

“The defendant is solely responsible for the death of Mr. Glenn,” said Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney Anne Colt Leitess. “The defendant made the deliberate and selfish decision to drive while intoxicated showing a complete disregard for the lives of the minors that were in her vehicle as well as other motorists on the road. I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the Glenn family as they heal from this tragic event.”
On June 21, 2018, the Maryland State Police responded to a single-vehicle collision on I-97 just before the Generals Highway exit. Troopers located a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis turned over on its roof in a heavily wooded area. Various motorists described witnessing the vehicle being operated in an erratic fashion, speeding, and making improper lane changes. Tashya Johnson lost control of the vehicle, drove off the roadway, and flipped multiple times before landing on the roof. While doing an inventory
of the vehicle, police located an open container of an alcoholic beverage, Mad Dog 20/20, in the defendant’s leather handbag. Later, a police officer made contact with Johnson in the hospital and observed that her eyes were bloodshot and glassy. While speaking with the police officer, Johnson admitted to having a couple of alcoholic beverages prior to driving. Blood test results later revealed that Johnson had a blood alcohol content of 0.24, three times over the legal limit. At sentencing, the court was
presented with a recording of the defendant stating that the brother of Tyrese Glenn needed to grow up and get over it because it was nobody’s fault that the accident occurred.
Johnson entered a guilty plea to the charges on February 11, 2020, and was sentenced on August 20, 2020.

(Annapolis, MD) – A woman who is facing charges from a June crash and was originally held without bond was given bail and released from jail on July 3, 2018. As a result, her freedom could have cost the life of another when on July 7, 2018, at approximately 7:12 pm, the Maryland State Police report that Trooper First Class Holson was on patrol in the area of Jennifer Road and Medical Parkway when he observed a dipsy driver operating a red Hyundai with expired tags.

Police say that the operator of a red Hyundai failed to drive in a single lane and was unrestrained by a seatbelt. Trooper First Class Holson conducted a traffic stop and made contact with the operator, Tashya Katrina Johnson of 395 Valiant Circle, Glen Burnie, Maryland.

Police report that Johnsons’ Maryland Driver’s License was suspended. In addition, Trooper First Class Holson noticed that Johnson’s breath reeked of booze and he observed an open beer container in the center console – all of which were adding up to another trip to the slammer for this allegedly dangerously impaired driver.

Police say that due to her severe impairment, Johnson was unable to safely perform field sobriety tests and she was transported to the Anne Arundel Medical Center as a precautionary measure and refused to submit to a blood test.

Johnson was held on no bail and transported to the Anne Arundel County Detention Center.
