Incident: Attempted Murder
Date of Incident: 9 May 2012
Location: 31000 block of Ward Road, Salisbury, MD
Suspect: Craig S. Jones, 50, Salisbury, MD

Narrative: On 9 May 2012
at 6:59 AM, a deputy from the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office responded to a reported altercation in the 31000 block of Ward Road. Upon arrival, the deputy learned that Craig Jones, a resident of that area, allegedly became enraged when a jogger attempted to pepper spray Jones’ dog after the dog chased the jogger. According to the jogger, Jones jumped into a pickup truck and began chasing the jogger while threatening to kill the jogger. The jogger left the roadway in an attempt to run away from Jones, who followed him and ended up colliding with a tree. Jones managed to dislodge his vehicle from the tree and continued chasing the jogger again. During this subsequent chase, Jones ran over and damaged a tombstone in a private cemetery.

The jogger believed that Jones was trying to run him over and was in fear for his life. The deputy observed damage to the tree that coincided with serious front end damage to the truck of Jones. That, along with lengthy tire marks left when the truck of Jones went off-road corroborated the account of the jogger.

The deputy placed Jones under arrest for attempted murder and transported him to the Central Booking Unit where he was processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner. After an initial appearance, the Commissioner detained Jones in the Detention Center without bond.
