Incident: Disorderly Conduct
Date of Incident: 23 June 2008
Location: 500 Block of N. Curlew Drive, Salisbury, MD
Suspects: Lynette Marie Johnson, 31, Salisbury, MD

Narrative: On 23 June at 10:45PM, deputies from the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office investigated an altercation in the 500 Block of N. Curlew Drive. While on location, one of the participants in the altercation, Lynette Johnson, refused to quit yelling or cursing at other individuals. The deputies were attempting to clarify what had happened in the altercation they were called to investigate, but were unable due to Johnson’s belligerent and loud behavior. After Johnson refused several requests to cease her unruly behavior, one of the deputies on the scene attempted to place Johnson under arrest for Disorderly Conduct. Johnson actively resisted the deputy’s attempt, pulled away and even grabbed a hold of the deputy herself. Johnson was eventually placed into restraints and transported to the Central Booking Unit at the Wicomico County Detention Center.

While at the Central Booking Unit, Johnson was processed and charged with Disorderly Conduct, Resisting Arrest, Hindering and Assault on a Deputy. After an initial appearance before a District Court Commissioner, Johnson was released on Personal Recognizance.

Incident: Attempted Arson
Date of Incident: 22 June 2008
Location: 100 Block of Shamrock Drive, Salisbury, MD
Suspects: Deltez Keyon Jackson, Salisbury, MD

Narrative: On 22 June 2008, deputies responded to a report of a subject threatening to burn down a house on Shamrock Drive in Salisbury, MD. Upon arrival, they discovered that Deltez Keyon Jackson had poured gasoline throughout the first floor of his residence on Shamrock Drive. The deputies were clearly able to smell the odor of gasoline permeating through the air. After checking the residence, it was determined that Jackson had left prior to the arrival of the deputies. Investigation revealed that Jackson had an argument with some other individuals and it was during this that Jackson retrieved the gasoline, began pouring it throughout the house and threatened to light the house on fire.

Since the deputies were unable to locate Jackson, they obtained a warrant for his arrest. That warrant was served on 24 June 2008 and Jackson was subsequently taken to the Wicomico County Detention Center where he was processed and charged with attempted First Degree Arson. After an initial appearance before a District Court Commissioner, Jackson was held on $20,000.00 bond in the Detention Center.
