A group of Hyattsville residents is currently facing multiple charges in Frederick County. They allegedly assaulted an officer near a local bank on Saturday morning. The officer had been tracking them down in connection with a series of scams.
Deputies from the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office swiftly responded to the Fulton Bank on Presidents Court in Frederick at approximately 10:20 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 25. They were already familiar with Gilbert due to his involvement in numerous fraudulent transactions.
Responding deputies made an attempt to handcuff him, but Gilbert had different plans in mind. He and Milligan decided to run away, although neither of them managed to get very far.
A deputy swiftly apprehended Milligan without any dramatics. However, when another deputy attempted to arrest Gilbert, he attacked him and proceeded to escape towards a parked car on the opposite side of the street. This compelled the deputy to use a Taser-like device to subdue him.
After assessing Gilbert’s condition, paramedics transported him to Frederick Health Hospital for additional medical care. Subsequently, both Gilbert and Milligan were transferred to the Frederick County Adult Detention Center for the booking process.
37-year-old Gilbert faced the following charges:
-
- Second-degree assault;
- Two counts of possession/use of false government ID card;
- Theft of between $1,500 and $25,000;
- Theft scheme – $1,500 – <$25,000;
