officer

Original Post (10/17/15):
The Prince George's County Police Department's
Special Investigation Response Team (SIRT) is investigating an incident
involving a prisoner who escaped from a PGPD cruiser and assaulted multiple
officers in separate incidents. The escape happened today at Wells Parkway and
Route 1 in College Park at about 5 pm. The suspect is now charged with multiple
counts of assaulting police officers. One officer is being treated at the
hospital for injuries that occurred during the attack.
Preliminarily, the investigation reveals the
suspect was a passenger in a car initially pulled over by officers in Laurel
during a traffic stop. During that traffic stop, the suspect assaulted two
officers and was taken into custody. The suspect claimed he was injured. The
officers took him to a hospital to be checked out. The hospital, finding no
injuries, released the suspect back to police custody.
As another PGPD patrol officer was taking the
suspect to the prisoner processing area in Hyattsville, the handcuffed suspect
managed to escape from the cruiser. When the officer confronted the suspect
outside the cruiser, the man tried to kick the officer and spit at him and bit
him. The officer was able to get the suspect down on the ground, where
the suspect continued to struggle with the officer. The officer was finally
able to get the suspect under control after deploying his taser.
The suspect has been taken to the hospital for
treatment following the taser deployment. The officer is being treated at the
hospital for his injuries.
Investigators are in the process of contacting
witnesses and ask that anyone with additional information relevant to the
investigation please contact police at police_internalaffairs@co.pg.md.us
