During that encounter, the suspect produced a knife, held it to the victim’s throat and demanded the victim’s money, which the victim did surrender. The suspect then demanded medication that he heard rattling in the victim’s pocket. A struggle ensued and the suspect’s vehicle began moving. The victim was able to fall free after being dragged for approximately 50 yards. The suspect then fled the scene. Officers were provided a vehicle and suspect description, which an officer had observed nearby while responding to the call. The officer was familiar with the suspect and his vehicle from prior contact and knew him to be Tyler Gaskins. Officers began checking at known locations for Gaskins and located his vehicle at a residence. Gaskins had fled from that residence prior to the officer’s arrival. Gaskins was tracked through the woods from the Siloam Road area to Cherry Hill, where Gaskins was taken into custody. The Fruitland Police Department received assistance from The Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office Patrol and K9 as well as MSP Aviation.

Maybe Joe Albero should post pictures of Tyler before his heroin addiction instead of his mug shots. Drug addiction does not discriminate! This family as well as the community suffers from the rise in heroin addiction. May all you harsh negative people making comments never have to go thru what this family has gone thru over the past 2 years..

He's getting pretty popular on the rap sheet crowd. But I'm sure it's just police harassment...

9:37 What about the people/properties he's been terrorizing for the past 5-6 years? That's before his "drug addiction". He's a waste, and his parents should have raised a better seed.

4:36; I couldn't agree more. For the 1st time in several years I slept a whole lot better knowing he is behind bars with no bond. It's where he needs to be.
