Westminster, Md. - On Tuesday, the Maryland State Police brought Anthony T. Soligny, 33, of New Windsor, back to Maryland to face charges for allegedly attacking his wife with a hammer on March 2.

Sources close to the investigation have said that initially Soligny had chosen to fight extradition, but later had a change of heart.



Multiple sources have indicated that he has, in general, been very uncooperative and combative since his arrest on March 3, while on the run, on I-85 just outside of Lavonia Georgia and locked up in Franklin County Detention Center in Carnesville, Georgia.

Yesterday evening, a Maryland State Police spokesman said, “Soligny arrived at the Carroll County, Detention Center at 5:45 pm today. He was flown back to Maryland today by troopers on a State Police plane. There were no problems reported during transport.”

Carroll Co man taken into custody for attack with hammer - By Kevin Dayhoff March 3, 2010

Westminster - Lieutenant Andrew Winner of the Maryland State Police has said that the Carroll County man they have been searching for, after allegedly assaulting his wife last night with a hammer, has been captured in Georgia.

In an earlier press release, the accused is identified as Anthony T. Soligny, 33, of the unit-block of Grapes View Drive, New Windsor, Md. He is described as a white male, 6’2” tall, 195 lbs., with brown hair and hazel eyes. He was believed to have been operating a silver 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 quad-cab pickup truck, with Maryland tag 00V129.

Soligny was considered dangerous. Maryland State Police obtained a warrant for him after last night’s incident, charging him with attempted murder, first and second-degree assault, and reckless endangerment.

In a telephone interview, Winner said that the incident “appears to be yet another domestic violence case. It’s a terrible case. Very troubling. The Maryland State Police takes these cases quite seriously.”

The victim, (whose name is being withheld by Soundtrack because she is allegedly the victim of domestic abuse,) is currently undergoing care for her injuries at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, where she is listed in stable condition.

According to a preliminary investigation by the Maryland State Police, the victim is alleged to have been assaulted by her husband with a steel and rubber hammer, which police have taken into evidence.

At about 11:30 p.m. yesterday, Maryland State Police at the Westminster Barracks received a 9-1-1 call from the victim, who had gone to a neighbor’s home to call police.

The Maryland State Police have reported that the responding troopers found the victim had sustained what appeared to be severe blunt force trauma injuries to her head. The victim was transported by ambulance to the Carroll Hospital Center. She was later transported by ambulance to the Shock Trauma Center.

Soligny was not at his home when troopers arrived and a lookout was issued for him, according to the release. It is not known what prompted the assault other than some type of argument between the accused and victim.

Troopers are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the assault.

Carroll County Sheriff’s Department: Homeless man recovering at Shock Trauma - Troy Thomas Haller aged 29 of no fixed address, arrested, charged… (All photos courtesy of the Carroll County Sheriff's Department...)

Westminster, Carroll County, Maryland, October 3, 2009 ---- At approximately 6:55p.m., Carroll County Sheriff’s Deputies and members of the Westminster Volunteer Fire Company responded to the railroad tracks along Route 27 beneath the Route 140 overpass for a report of an injured person.

Arriving deputies found a group of apparently intoxicated homeless persons at a makeshift campsite approximately 75 yards from the roadway.

Among them was a semiconscious middle aged man lying atop a pile of garbage below an eight foot tall retaining wall at the site, he was later identified as George Herbert Smith Jr. of no fixed address.

Suffering from severe head and facial injuries, paramedics transported Smith to a nearby landing site where he was flown to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center for treatment.

Smith remains in serious but stable condition.

During their investigation, deputies learned that Smith had been laying atop the retaining wall when Troy Thomas Haller aged 29 of no fixed address began punching Smith in the head and face approximately 9 times, before kicking him in the ribs until Smith fell from the wall.

Witnesses reported the attack was unprovoked.

Consequently, Haller was arrested and transported to Carroll County Central Booking where he was charged with the following criminal law violations:

· First Degree Assault
· Second Degree Assault
· Reckless Endangerment
· Disorderly Intoxication

Haller is currently awaiting a bail review before the District Court Commissioner.

“Motorists rescued, one arrested after heavy rain and flooding close several roads”

Lineboro, Carroll County, Maryland, August 29, 2009 ---- At approximately 8:00 p.m. heavy rains fell in North-East Carroll County, swelling streams and flooding several roads. Personnel from the Maryland State Highway Administration, Maryland State Police, Carroll County Public Works, Carroll County Sheriff’s Office and Manchester Police closed several roadways in and around the North Carroll area into the early morning.

At approximately 9:51 p.m., Sheriff’s deputies responded to reports of flood waters that had risen above the guardrails along Church Street at the South Branch of Gunpowder Falls. Stopping traffic on the North side of the creek, a Deputy signaled an oncoming Ford Taurus approaching from the South side of the creek to stop, but the vehicle continued and drove into the water where it was swept from the roadway and carried approximately 75 yards down stream. Attempts to approach the vehicle were unsuccessful due to the depth and speed of the water.

Swift Water, Dive and Advanced Technical Rescue Teams from the Lineboro, Manchester, Gamber, Pleasant Hill and Glen Rock Fire Companies responded to assist. After coaxing him to the roof of his vehicle, rescue personnel were able to reach the driver and pull him to safety using rope lines. While speaking with the vehicle’s driver, who was identified as Prakah Rampatsingh, aged 45 from Hanover, Pennsylvania, Deputy 1st Class Ehrhart smelled the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on the driver’s breath.

After further investigation, Rampatsingh was taken into custody and transported to Carroll County Central Booking, where he was charged by Deputy Ehrhart with the following Motor Vehicle Law violations:

· Disobeying order and direction of police officer
· Negligent Driving
· Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol

Rampatsingh is currently being held at the Carroll County Detention Center awaiting a bail review before the District Court Commissioner.

Just a few miles away from Church Street, Fire Rescue Crews performed a second water rescue of a motorist stranded in a pick-up truck on Grave Run Road at River Valley Ranch. In all cases, persons were treated at the scene and released by rescue personnel; there were no serious injuries. Before the night was over, approximately 15 Fire Rescue Units responded to the area, including teams from neighboring Baltimore County and Pennsylvania.

Female Bank Robber Sought In Carroll County

The suspect is described as a white female, possibly in her mid to late 50’s, approximately 5’4” tall and weighing about 220 pounds. She was wearing glasses, a blue shirt, and a blue rain jacket.

Just before 4:00 p.m. today, Maryland State Police were called to the PNC Bank in the 3400-block of Littlestown Pike, Union Mills, Md., for the report of a bank robbery. Arriving troopers were told that moments before, the suspect had walked into the bank alone and handed a note to a teller. The note said the suspect was armed and she was demanding money.

The suspect was given an undisclosed amount of cash. She left the bank without displaying a weapon. None of the employees in the bank were injured.

The suspect was last seen leaving the parking lot in a blue sport utility vehicle with Pennsylvania tags. She headed south on Rt. 97, then made a left on Old Hanover Road.

Troopers issued a lookout for the suspect and vehicle which included law enforcement authorities in Pennsylvania. Maryland state troopers and Carroll County deputies searched the area for the suspect vehicle, but did not locate it. The search is continuing.

Anyone who may have seen the suspect or suspect vehicle, or has any information about this robbery is urged to contact Trooper First Class Winkler, of the Westminster Barracks Criminal Investigation Section, at 410-386-3054. Calls may be kept confidential.

Police involved shooting in Carroll County

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 9, 2009

CHARGES PENDING AGAINST MAN WHO TRIED TO RUN DOWN POLICE OFFICER AND WOMAN

(Taneytown, MD) A Carroll County man is under police guard at a hospital where he is being treated for what is believed to be a non-life threatening gunshot wound he sustained when he attempted to run over a police officer and a woman the officer was trying to protect.

Due to the preliminary stage of the investigation, neither the officer nor the suspect is being identified at this time. The officer is an 11-year veteran of the Taneytown Police Department. Criminal charges are pending against the suspect, who is expected to be charged later today.

Shortly before 10:30 p.m. yesterday, an officer from the Taneytown Police Department was dispatched to the 400-block of Baltimore Street, Taneytown, for a report of a woman who needed assistance. When the police officer checked the area, he drove down Break Iron Road, an access road between a grocery store and a strip shopping center.

The officer saw a woman lying in the roadway. He exited his marked patrol car and asked the screaming woman if she needed help.

Within moments, the police officer saw a 1992 Acura Integra, driven by the suspect, accelerating toward him and the woman. The officer, who was in full uniform, ordered the driver to stop. The driver continued to accelerate toward the officer and the woman.

In fear for his life and the life of the woman, the officer fired his police department issued .40 caliber pistol at the driver. The car slowed and the woman and officer were able to avoid being struck.

The car came to rest a short distance away. The officer approached the driver and saw he had been wounded in the arm. EMS units responded and treated the suspect. He was flown by a Maryland State Police helicopter to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. He is expected to survive. Neither the police officer nor the woman was injured.
A motive for the incident is unknown. Apparently the suspect and the woman were acquaintances.

Upon being notified of the incident, Taneytown Police Chief William Tyler responded to the scene. Chief Tyler requested the incident be investigated by the Maryland State Police. State Police investigators from the Homicide Unit are conducting the investigation, with assistance from criminal investigators from the Westminster Barracks. Maryland State Police crime scene technicians responded to process the scene.

While conducting the investigation, Maryland State Police arrested a man who arrived at the scene and became disorderly. Police also did a check on the female victim in this case and found that she was wanted on warrants from Harford County. She was also taken into custody.


As per procedure, Chief Tyler placed the officer involved in the shooting on paid administrative leave while the investigation continues. The Taneytown Police Department has 12 sworn officers, including the chief.

Additional information will be released later including identities and charges against the suspect. The investigation is continuing.

Maryland State Police: Information developed about skeletal remains in Westminster

INFORMATION DEVELOPED ABOUT SKELETAL REMAINS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 27, 2009

(Westminster, MD) Maryland State Police homicide investigators have obtained additional information about the skeletal remains found in Carroll County earlier this week after an initial examination was conducted at the Office of the State Medical Examiner.

Although a positive identity has not been made, forensic experts believe the skeletal remains are those of a white female who, at the time of her death, is believed to have been in her mid to late twenties.

The examination indicates she was about 5 feet tall and had a petite to extremely petite build. No estimates of her weight are known at this time.

The cause and manner of death have not been identified at this time. Additional forensic tests and examinations are continuing.

One of the experts consulting with doctors at the medical examiner's office was Dr. William C. Rodriguez, of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. Dr. Rodriguez told State Police investigators evidence indicates the woman had been dead at least three to ten years.

Maryland State Police homicide investigators sent a law enforcement teletype to police departments throughout the East Coast and Mid-West with this additional information. Investigators are asking police departments throughout this area to review missing person files in an effort to assist in the identification of the remains.

Troopers are not limiting their possibilities in searching for an identity of this individual and will be reviewing cases from within the past four decades or more. The information regarding the remains has also been entered into the National Crime Information Center's Unidentified Person File, providing access to the information to law enforcement across the country.

State Police investigators continue to process the area where the skeletal remains were found on March 24, 2009. State Highway Administration personnel are assisting with an excavation of the area, which is covered with trees, undergrowth, construction debris and fill dirt.

State Police are urging anyone with information about this case, or about the construction and development history of the land along the 900-block of Baltimore Boulevard, to contact them immediately. The State Police Homicide Unit investigators working this case can be reached directly at 410-386-3029.

Maryland State Police investigators are working with forensic pathologists and crime scene technicians to try to identify skeletal remains found late Tuesday behind an industrial area in Carroll County.

The identity of the remains is unknown, according to police. The age, sex, and race of the individual also have not been confirmed.

Just before 5 p.m. Tuesday, State Police were called to the 900 block of Baltimore Boulevard, Westminster, where troopers contacted an individual who had been walking through a wooded ravine to the rear of a manufacturing company.

The individual called police after seeing what appeared to be a human skull in an area where debris had been dumped over the years.

On Wednesday morning, police crime scene technicians and criminal investigators from the Westminster Barracks and the Homicide Unit collected evidence at the scene.

Beneath a ground cover of leaves, rock and construction debris, investigators recovered what appears to be human remains.

A forensic investigator from the Office of the State Medical Examiner responded to the scene and assisted with the removal of the remains. The remains have been transported to the Office of the State Medical Examiner for an autopsy.

Police said no potential identity has been suggested through missing person reports. Police are checking with surrounding jurisdictions and have issued an alert to law enforcement agencies throughout the region. Troopers briefed officials from the Carroll County State’s Attorney’s Office as well, according police reports. The investigation is continuing.
