January 25, 2017 Westminster Md. Police investigating Sexual Assault


Westminster Md. Police investigating Sexual Assault

This makes me really sad. I have run and walked this trail for years and years and always thought it to be safe. Our heart and prayers for the crime victim. The Westminster Police Department is looking for a male suspected of sexually assaulting a woman walking her dog Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 25, 2017, on the trail near Tahoma Farm Road.

January 25, 2017

On Wednesday January 25, 2017 at approximately 2:00 p.m., the Westminster Police were called to the area of Tahoma Farm Rd and Md Rte 31 for the report of a sexual assault that had just occurred in the immediate area.

Arriving officers contacted the victim, an adult female who reported she was accosted by a lone male while she and her dog were walking on a footpath between Tahoma Farm Rd and Long Valley Rd in Westminster, MD.

The unknown assailant sexually assaulted the woman and fled the area on foot. Police established a perimeter in the area and a search for the suspect was initiated but failed to locate the suspect.

The suspect was described as a young male, age 1620, 58 to 510, no facial hair, slender, thin build wearing all dark clothing and a hooded sweatshirt. The suspect was described as having a dark skin completion.

There were no weapons involved. The victim is currently being interviewed by investigators. The victim has been taken to Carroll Hospital Center for a checkup. Citizens are reminded to remain vigilant of their surroundings. The police will increase patrols of the area.


Citizens who may have witnessed this incident or who have information as to the identity of the suspect are asked to contact Det. Cory Vandergrift of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office or Sgt. Jeff Schuster of the Westminster Police Department Criminal Investigations Bureau at (410) 8484646, or send a confidential text to 847411, keyword TIPWPD or contact the TIPS line at (410) 8578477.

Domestic disturbance results in assault by shooting in Westminster https://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2016/11/shooting-reported-in-westminster.html

According to information released by the Westminster Police Department:

On Friday November 11, 2016 at approximately 9:23 PM the Westminster Police was dispatched to the unit block of Carroll View Ave in Westminster for domestic disturbance at a private residence.

Upon arrival in the area police officers located a 31 year old male identified as Angelo Johnson laying on the parking lot suffering from gunshot wounds to his back and right leg.
 
EMS was summoned to the scene and the victim was transported to University of Maryland Shock Trauma in Baltimore for treatment.

Investigation at the scene determined that Johnson cohabitates with a husband and wife in a townhouse on the unit block of Carroll View Ave.

A domestic argument erupted between the husband and wife. Johnson attempted to intervene and became involved in an altercation with the husband. Johnson was asked to leave the house, which he complied. Once outside the residence Johnson began to flatten the tires of the suspect’s automobile.

The suspect, identified as Dustin A Forson (37) discharged two (2) rounds from a 12 gauge shotgun out a second floor window of the residence at Johnson, striking him in the back and right leg with pellets from the shotgun rounds. Johnson was treated at the scene and transported by EMS. Johnson is in stable condition at Shock Trauma.

The suspect Forson was taken into custody and transported to the Westminster Police Department for questioning.

While in custody Forson complained of pain from a preexisting condition. Forson was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

Forson will be charged criminally with assault in the first and second degree along with Reckless Endangerment upon his release from the hospital.


Citizens who may have witnessed this incident or who have information are asked to contact Det. Todd Rutledge, Westminster Police Department Criminal Investigations Bureau at (410) 8484646, or send a confidential text to 847411, keyword TIPWPD or contact the TIPS line at (410) 8578477.

Carroll County State's Attorney's Office workshop on senior scams at the Taneytown senior center.


Carroll County State's Attorney's Office post on Facebook on October 9, 2015:

Chief Deputy State's Attorney Kathleen Murphy, as well as Chief Investigator Dean Brewer, spent lunchtime at the Taneytown Senior Center today discussing with seniors signs to look for in order to avoid being scammed.

Financial exploitation of seniors is a major issue, and many myths about who are victims and who are perpetrators were discussed.

This presentation will be given at senior centers throughout the county in the coming months. State's Attorney Brian DeLeonardo was also present to kick off this new community education program.

Update Friday, October 9, 2015

Apparently at least one church in Carroll County has recently been scammed by the crime in which the caller says that he is from BGE and that the electricity will be cut off in 45 minutes unless the back bill that is due, is paid. This according to a source who is not allowed to speak publicly about the crime.

Well, trust me, from my experience in the mayor's office, if a citizen or organization is behind in the electric bill, and is about to be cut off; you will know it well. There is a lengthy drawn-out process that takes place before your electricity is turned-off and it does not involve some sketchy person calling you 45 minutes in advance.

If you receive this call: Hang. Up. The. Phone. And call Baltimore Gas and Electric at 800.685.0123 to verify the status of your account and report the crime. Also report the crime to the Carroll County State’s Attorney’s Office at 410.386.2671.


There simply must be a special place in hell, for the scammers in the world.
