SEARCH ENDS WITH ARREST OF WICOMICO CO. FUGITIVE

(DOVER, DE) – The search for a fugitive wanted for an assault that injured three police officers in Wicomico County one week ago has ended with his arrest tonight in Delaware.

Edwin L. Fletcher, 32, of Salisbury, Md., was arrested at about 6:30 p.m. today by members of the Maryland State Apprehension Team, in cooperation with Delaware law enforcement. Fletcher was arrested without incident at a home in the 200-block of Dundee Road, Dover, Delaware. At this time his relationship to others at the residence is unknown.

Fletcher will be taken before a Delaware Justice of the Peace for an extradition hearing. It is not known at this time if he will waive extradition.

Fletcher had been sought by police throughout the Lower Shore region since the evening of March 26, 2014, when he fled after ramming a pickup truck into a police car as a multi-jurisdictional team of police officers was attempting to arrest him on a drug felony warrant in Wicomico County. Fletcher drove up onto and over the police car, inside of which were two state troopers and a sheriff’s deputy, all of whom were injured.

Other details concerning the arrest are not currently known. The investigation is continuing.

yeah! you go after our law enforcement and we will hunt you down. Now it is up to the system to do the right thing and lock him up and throw away the key.

7:43? I don't think he actually went after anyone. More like he was trying to get away before they gunned him down in cold blood! At least he'll get his day in court! probably will be convicted but hey at least he's alive!

Who ever said that he know that was a police car with cops inside. It was an undercover car. I have never seen a cop car like that before.

I like how the whole fact that the police fired TEN rounds into a dark pubic parking lot has gone unaddressed. Pretty sure shooting blind is a bit irresponsible.
