Worcester County Sheriff's Office Press Release 9-21-14

Worcester County Sheriff's Office

On September 20 around 11:45 pm Deputies from the Worcester County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to assist the Snow Hill Police Department with a fight on Cypress Lane near Dighton Ave. Upon arrival there was a disorderly crowd in the street. A male that was believed to be involved in the fight was initially detained. This detention upset a juvenile female who attempted to interfere in the arrest. The juvenile was subsequently arrested by Snow Hill Police Department. The arrest of the juvenile sparked an unruly female, April Jackson 34 of Berlin, to become upset about the arrest of the juvenile. Jackson was given several orders to back away or face arrest. Jackson failed to comply with the orders and a Deputy began to passively move her back and Jackson pushed the Deputy. The Deputy responded by immediately arresting Jackson who responded by resisting the arrest. Several other Deputies responded to the scene and assisted with Jackson's arrest. The male initially detained was released without charges. Jackson was later seen by a District Court Commissioner for charges of Assault 2nd Degree, Disorderly Conduct, Fail to Obey a Lawful Order, Obstruct and Hinder, and Resist Arrest. Jackson was released pending a trial on October 28, 2014 in the District Court of Snow Hill.
