NARRATIVE: On Wednesday, February 29, 2012 at approximately 0330 hours,
Troopers from the Maryland State Police, Berlin Barrack were dispatched to 4313
Stockton Road, Pocomoke, Maryland. A witness called 911 and stated that Jon Dykes was physically assaulting Louisa Dykes.
Upon the Troopers arrival, Jon Dykes had fled the scene and Louisa Dykes told them that she and her husband had been involved in a verbal altercation which escalated to the point where Jon Dykes was physically holding (pinning) Louisa Dykes to the bed and not allowing her to get up. Louisa Dykes advised that she was able to free her arms and began striking Jon Dykes in self defense and in an attempt to escape.
Louisa Dykes stated that she was able to break free of her husband when he realized that the Troopers were en route and he began to flee.
At approximately 0530 hours, Jon Dykes returned to the residence and began banging on the front door. Fearing for her safety, Louisa refused to open the door. Jon Dykes then went around to the rear of the house and found that it too was locked. Jon Dykes then proceeded to break out the glass from the door using both his elbow and a dog bowl and a fiberglass handled axe. Jon Dykes reached into the residence and unlocked the door. He entered the residence holding the axe in both hands. He observed Louisa Dykes and began rushing toward her still holding the axe and made a statement threatening the victim’s life. Jon Dykes struck Louisa Dykes with the axe handle and pushed her onto a couch and then onto the floor. Louisa Dykes clutched the axe handle, fearing that she would be injured by the axe head. The two struggled until a witness told Jon Dykes that the Troopers were again en route. Jon Dykes again fled from the residence, leaving the axe behind. As he was fleeing in his vehicle, he was located by several officers who began a high speed pursuit with
Dykes. The pursuit ended when Dykes crashed his vehicle.
As he was taken into custody, Dykes appeared to be extremely intoxicated.
Dykes was subsequently charged for numerous speeding and fleeing charges as well as Driving Under the Influence.
Detectives from the Worcester County Bureau of Investigations were called and after a thorough investigation, obtained an arrest warrant charging Dykes with Assault 1st Degree, Assault 2nd Degree, Reckless Endangerment and False Imprisonment.
Dykes was taken before the District Court Commissioner and remained to the Worcester County Jail to be held without bond.

This guy shoulda been shot by the MSP rather than that other guy
Why? He was unarmed too.
Is this the same Jon Dykes who stabbed a man 19 times, in Westover approx. 20 years ago. He was sentence to life in prison, I thought.
First of all, this article failed to mention she was also extremely intoxicated AND recently injured him so severely he had to be flown to Shock Trauma. He is the same man charged with murdering a man in Westover. He gave a guy a ride home from a bar. Once they arrived at the residence they began drinking. At some point Mr Dykes passed out and awoke to the other man attempting to Sexualy assault him. He was stabbed but managed to get the knife from the attacker and stabbed him. Unfortunately the man died from his injuries. So saying he should of been shot tells me that you are an ignorant person who doesn't need help in jumping to conclusions.
