Police Report: September 4-8

September 4th:

2500 block of Queens Chapel Road: Emergency petition – 4:50 am. Officers on patrol observed a highly intoxicated man walking through on-coming traffic carrying two 14” long kitchen knives. When the officers stopped the man and ordered him to drop the knives he refused and said that he wanted to die and was going to kill himself. The officers also observed that the man was bleeding from his mouth and had blood on the back of his shirt. A member of the man’s family arrived on the scene and convinced the man to drop the knives and, after a brief struggle officers were able to get him under control. Fire/rescue personnel arrived to transport the man to the hospital and during their on-scene evaluation officers observed that he had a large amount of shattered glass in his hair and on his face along with several long cut/scratch markings on his back just above his waist line. Medics took him to Washington Adventist Hospital where he was committed to medical personnel for an emergency psychological examination.

2500 block of Arundel Road: Vandalism – 5:15 am. The resident told officers that she was awakened by the sound of glass breaking. When she investigated she found her kitchen window broken out. Officers believe that the man they committed for an emergency psychological evaluation may have been responsible for the damage to the victim’s window and a follow-up investigation is underway to determine if he was involved.

First, no member of the police department staff will void, cancel or otherwise dispose of a valid collection notice.
