(Westminster, MD) – Maryland State Police have filed additional felony charges against the Carroll County man accused of assaulting his neighbor with a hammer earlier this week.
The accused is identified as Paul D. Scott, 51, of the 1100-block of Muller Road, Westminster, Md. Last night, criminal investigators from the State Police Westminster Barracks served charges on Scott, who is being held at the Carroll County Detention Center. After consultation with the Carroll County State’s Attorney’s Office, State Police investigators charged Scott with first and second degree rape, and first degree sex offense, based on evidence developed during the ongoing investigation.
These charges are in addition to the charges filed against Scott when he was arrested on May 10, 2009. Those charges included attempted murder, first and second degree assault, and reckless endangerment. Following a bail review today, Scott remains incarcerated on $750,000 bond.
Scott is charged with assaulting his 56-year-old neighbor, after he volunteered to bring her the newspaper on the morning of May 10. State Police investigators believe Scott used a hammer to repeatedly hit the victim in the head and face during the assault. He is believed to also have used a knife to threaten the victim.
