SNOW HILL — A Worcester County grand jury has formally indicted a Seaford, Del. man of attempted first-degree murder of an Ocean City police officer and numerous other counts following an incident in the resort in late September.
On Sept. 30, Antonio Ambrosino, 18, of Seaford, allegedly accelerated his vehicle toward and collided with an Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) officer and a Worcester County Sheriff’s deputy during an apparent drug deal. The struck officers were forced to fire their service weapons at Ambrosino’s vehicle as it sped away following the collision. Ambrosino was ultimately taken into custody after jumping into the bay around 41st Street following a multi-agency pursuit.
Last week, a Worcester County grand jury indicted Ambrosino on 15 total counts including attempted first-degree murder of an Ocean City Police officer, first-degree assault on the same OCPD officer, first-degree assault on a Worcester County Sheriff’s Deputy and a member of the Worcester County elite drug enforcement unit known as the Criminal Enforcement Team.

They had a choice to fire or not fire. They chose to fire after the collision and as he was leaving the scene.
1:14- Your point?
Elite drug unit....wow lol
Yeah, 1:14 they weren’t “forced” to fire as the police psychologist suggests in his monologue. I’d like to know why the Government was stalking people on private property.
It's just that the article states that "...the officers were forced to fire..." when what forced them to fire after the perp was leaving the scene is unclear.
Testosterone made them open fire.
What fun is being a cop if you can't play dress-up and shoot your gun?
3:08 hit 'em hard, too.
LOL an "elite" drug unit? You mean cops who are really good at busting 5 keys of coke and $175,000, but find a way to only turn in 2 ounces and $200? It DOES take some training to get THAT right every time.
Or the ones who seemingly watch a dozen drug deals go down in the parking lot of Seacrets but never bust anyone? Those elite cops??
