David Emory Linthicum of Cockeysville remains in jail on charges of attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault and armed carjacking after waiving his rights to a court appearance Monday.
Linthicum is accused of shooting two officers and leading police on a three-day manhunt last week that stretched from Baltimore County to Harford County.
Baltimore County Police were called to Linthicum’s home because his father worried the 24-year-old was having suicidal thoughts, officers wrote in charging documents.
Debbie Levi, attorney for David Linthicum, said in a statement: “There will be no hearing in this case today. As the media initially reported, this began as a response to a person in crisis. We are hopeful that this process will be fair and just, as this is a situation that requires ultimate compassion for all who are involved.”

Linthicum was apprehended Friday in Harford County.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for next month.
