BREAKING NEWS: UPDATE ON PRINCESS ANNE INCIDENT THIS MORNING

Ladies & Gentlemen, this is not an easy article to write. A very serious assault took place this morning in Princess Anne. A source has informed me that a husband allegedly took a hammer to his Wife and two children. One individual has allegedly also been stabbed.

The suspect was found in his car not far from the scene and has been arrested. All of the victims are in very serious condition. I had been told the details but I will refrain from bringing any of that up as I'm sure you can imagine just how bad it was. I will say that one of the victims was attacked in his crib.

Please pray for all of the victims.

Joe, thanks for getting the accurate information. You are our only source for NEWS! What a horrible tragedy! It must be a mental issue - only a true monster would attack children. So sad.

Just hearing this news. Bless their hearts my heart goes out to them. Lord knows how long this family has been dealing with this behavior. Who ever this bastard is he needs to have the same done to him. It must be extremely difficult to be a police officer I would want to beat the crap out of someone like that.

Mental illness and drugs are a real concern in this country. Needs to be a priority on how to address!

Drugs were not a factor. Know the full story first

Prayers to the family. So glad they caught the person who did this.

No mental illness here, just a piece of s**t criminal who shouldn't even be in the public. Armed robbery, first degree assault, domestic violence, and more already on his record. Maybe we should focus on why he isn't in jail and our very lenient criminal justice system.

Noon channel 47 didn't have anything on this case. Thanks Joe for letting us know what is going on in the community.

The suspect is a dirt bag. The system locks up non violent offenders for obscene amounts of time. Any violent offender should do full sentence. I blame the State's Attorneys Office and the Judges. The commonality is they are both lawyers. We all seem to forget our judges are past defense attorneys. Paid Liars decide the public's fate. May God watch over these children.

Anyword on whats going on in fruitland? Seeing reports of someones yard being excavated?

Mental illness is a real disease and causes people to do ungodly things. Please keep the family in prayer and if you ever hear anyone say they need help, try to help them or atleast direct them in the right direction. Or call an ambulance or police department to have the person psychologically evaluated.

I only wish I could meet this guy. One thing for sure, I'm not an angle, but this is taking things to far. Believe me, there are ways to meet him.

Only a shallow minded idiot will blame criminal activity on "Drugs." Also, idiots blame "mental illness" on criminal activity.

Drugs and mental illness is just an excuse! Grow up and get an education you stupid moron!

Drugs and mental illnesses are but two factors and they are real. I could ask which mental illness you have to constantly insult others and try to deny them their opinions. But I won't.

When will people start realizing the only justice is the Death Penalty.

Mental illness my foot. A vengeful angry man who never learned to control himself is more like it. Someone well on his way to being a career criminal who has no regard for law and order.

I remember him from when I worked at ECI. He got out on good time and was supposed to do 20 years and had 12 years suspended. And now this....he's never getting out.

You need your own blog to rant and rave on. No one side it was through cause just that they are real issues not only in this area but nationally. Are you even aware of the number daily of heroin overdoses? Or are you one of those no crimes here people?

That's crazy he should have been held without bond so he can't hurt anyone else or go to the hospital and finish the job

Women need to stop getting involved with men who have violent criminal records, believing these men have "changed". Not blaming the victim but leopards don't change their spots. Anybody with 5 minutes and the internet can look these men up on Md Case search or other state tools.
Have women gotten so desperate that they think they have to date ex-cons? Especially if you have children you have to screen these dirtbags. Prince Charming isn't on Tinder, ladies

One of Kristy Hickman's plea deals in 2009. He should have got more time then.

Why does everyone automatically assume there's a drug/ mental illness issue when things like this occur? Especially when you haven't the slightest & if it were there's never an excuse for them to do that besides them being a sick individual

Anonymous said...

What!!!? Are you (8:37) saying men on Tinder aren't the cream of the crop!!?

Instead of stereotyping and saying he must have been on drugs. Pray for the 3 that is fighting for their lives. Pray, Pray Pray, This suitation needs prayer.

People assume it's drugs or mental illness because they can't imagine a person doing this type of thing of their own free will! However, so people in this world are just evil...believe it! I see it everyday!!!

This is victim blaming! A woman should NOT have to research her potential dates for arrest records. A woman should NOT have to refrain from using dating sites for fear of hooking up with an abusive man. It is NO fault of the woman for the harm inflicted upon them! FYI, neither of my abusers had any criminal record nor did I find them on any dating websites. Of course I've become hypervigilant since my experiences, but it is THEM that chose to harm me and NOT my means of choosing them. It was their judgement that was at fault.

I agree and disagree. It is the fault of the perpetrator. The victim is not to blame. But it never hurts to do your due diligence on someone who could possibly be an integral part of your life especially if you have children. That being said, I don't believe there is ever any way for someone to predict a situation like this. I am merely stating that it never hurts to be informed about who you are dealing with.

First of all to say that drugs and mental health is an excuse. This person is the one that needs education. The person shouldn't get a pass because of their mental health issues but they are truly a factor. No one or no way I think anyone would know this would happen who would hurt their children like this.
