From the Harford County Sheriff’s Office:
Harford County Sheriff’s Detectives are currently investigating an overnight Home Invasion which occurred in Abingdon.
At approximately 11:30 pm deputies responded to the 3100 block of White Oak Drive, Abingdon for a reported disturbance. Deputies arrived and observed a 26 year old male run toward the responding patrol car.
The victim advised that while investigating a noise outside several male suspects rushed him and forced their way into the residence. The male victim was forced outside while a 24 year old female victim remained inside the residence with the suspects.
Upon arrival of the Sheriff’s Deputy the male victim broke free, established contact and advised that the female was still inside with the suspects. Deputies quickly cleared the residence and took one suspect into custody. The additional suspects fled the area. Attempts to locate them were negative.
The suspect was identified as Joshua Douglas Pruitt (white male / DOB 09-13-85). Pruitt was transported to the Harford County Detention Center and charged with burglary, assault, theft and drug and paraphernalia possession. The investigation to determine the identification and whereabouts of the outstanding suspects continues.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective C. Sergent 410 836-5428
No help from the bird in the sky on this one huh?
No, the bomb squad did not assist either, probably because they only call them when needed. Just because a tool is not used on every project, does not make it any less valuable. I realize your comment is sarcastic, just tired of hearing people bitch just to hear themself talk. Tis the season i guess, happy voting.
Our illustrious new “Eye in the Sky” is equipped with FLIR, as well as one hell of a powerful spotlight.
If there were several suspects that scattered, damn right it could have been useful. Many suspects don’t scatter too far, they find a place to hide and chill out until the coast is clear.
Sarcastic,yes… Bitching, no… Just seems there would be more police officers on scene to help catch the bad guys that’s all. Especially on a disturbance call/robbery/theft/home invasion. And it is that time of the year where robberies will be on the rise. Happy blogging!
I wonder if drugs were involved?
What are the descriptions of the other suspects?
