Assault On Sheriff's Deputy

Incident: Assault on a Deputy

Date of Incident: 17 May 2008
Location: 7400 Block Gumboro Road, Pittsville, MD

Suspects: Jeremy O. Goslee, 21, Mardela Springs, MD

Narrative: On 17 May 2008 at 0230hrs, a deputy responded to the parking lot of the Talbot Apartments on Gumboro Road in Pittsville, MD for a reported disturbance. On arrival, the deputy observed a male subject, later identified as Jeremy Goslee, being restrained that was yelling loudly and threatening to kill someone. As the deputy approached Goslee, he broke free and charged at the deputy in an attempt to knock the deputy down. The deputy informed Goslee that he was under arrest for assaulting the deputy but Goslee repeatedly pulled away from the deputy who attempted to handcuff him. In an attempt to subdue Goslee, the deputy utilized his pepper spray to gain control of Goslee. The deputy then wrestled Goslee to the ground and held on to him until backup units arrived.

Goslee was transported to PRMC for treatment of the pepper spray and continued to act disorderly there, screaming threats and obscenities at law enforcement and disturbing the general environment of the hospital emergency room.

After treatment, Goslee was taken to the Central Booking Unit at the Wicomico County Detention Center where Goslee was processed and charged with Assault, Disturbance of the Peace and Disorderly Conduct. After an initial appearance before the District Court Commissioner, Goslee was held at the Wicomico County Detention Center on $12,500 bond.
