From the Harford County Sheriff’s Office:
Detectives with the Harford County Sheriff’s Office have arrested an Edgewood man in connection with a stabbing that occurred in Edgewood on Friday.
On August 10, 2018, at approximately 11:30 a.m., deputies assigned to the Southern Precinct of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 1500 block of Charlestown Drive in Edgewood for the report of a stabbing. Upon arrival, deputies were informed two men known to each other engaged in a verbal altercation which escalated with the suspect stabbing the victim in the upper body with a knife.
The victim, identified as Donald Arnell Smith, 36, was transported by the Joppa Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company to the University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center for treatment of what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
The investigation was assumed by detectives from the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division. Investigators from the Forensic Services Unit responded to collect and preserve physical evidence in support of the investigation.
Shortly after arrival, patrol deputies identified the suspect as Willie Bill Miller, 48, and took him into custody. Miller and Smith are neighbors and are known to each other. Miller is charged with first degree assault, second degree assault and reckless endangerment. He was transported to the Harford County Detention Center where he is currently held awaiting initial appearance before a District Court Commissioner.
The investigation is ongoing. There are no further details being released at this time.

Ever notice how when HCSO catches the perp quick it’s big news? We hear about them looking for 3 drunk white boys assaulting people in WAWA nearly a week later, and what happened to 28 year old Michael Belt who mysteriously died at the detention center 2 weeks ago? They need to turn the Sheriff office into a police dept
Ever notice that sometimes releasing certain info may compromise the investigation? Ever notice when the investigators have exhausted all the immediate leads, they ask for the public’s help? Ever notice that if they release certain info the bad guys may get a heads up and flee making it harder to find them? As some other posters have said, applications for the SO are available online now. I think they are recruiting right now. Ever notice those adds? Ever notice that the only big difference between a Sheriff’s Department as the primary agency in a county and a police department is the ability to fire a police chief is easier than voting a good Sheriff, like the one we have now, out of office? Ever notice that?
This is because your Sheriff is a duly elected Constitutional Officer and a Police Chief is nothing but the head of a Code Enforcement agency for a county or a municipality. However, the Judicial Department of Maryland has degraded the Office of Sheriff for its own corporate purposes and likes to make believe that the Sheriff works for the Judicial Department, which he does NOT. He works for the people that voted him in and the county he represents.
On another note, when the Judicial Department degraded the position of County Sheriff, to make your Sheriff look like a lackey of the State, they took away your last and best defense against Code Enforcement Officers violating your rights and breaking the law. Your Sheriff has Supreme Jurisdiction of your county. He can take over any capital offense in your county if he feels that the local Code Enforcement Officers are incompetent and he can even tell the Maryland State Police to leave his Jurisdiction. The only exception would be if the crime involved multiple jurisdictions and the Sheriff can not assume that juris which he does not hold. Then the MSP could thwart his jurisdiction because they would then be superior. The same thing applies to Federal agencies, but we all must remember there is no police power granted to the Federal government in the Constitution. Due to this fact, it makes you wonder about any case that Federal agencies claim to have jurisdiction over that are not within the grants of power and authority given to them by WE THE PEOPLE.
Yea I’m sure releasing why a 28 year old in custody of the HCSO died would destroy any investigation……. Your reality is messed up, have some more koolaid.
And they just facebook posted the 2 dirtbags that walked on a bill at OC brewing 8 days ago, I guess all the leads coming in have dried up so after a week they need the publics help. LOL Oh and as a side note like the WAWA brawlers they were white also. If they were black and in Edgewood well nevermind if you don’t get the total lack of transparency thing by now you won’t.
Applications are available online. Must be a troller. Don’t like it here, I can recommend a good realtor so you can move out of here. We won’t miss you.
Yea that will definitely solve the problem…. LOL
So the logic here of “Reality of It” If you don’t like the war join the Marines, If you don’t agree with unions join one if you don’t like broccoli eat more…. You’re not too bright are you? Tell us all you are the HCS detective stuck with solving the WAWA fighters and can’t buy a clue…. LOL
Tell us all why you haven’t filled out an application yet and solved this ? Tell us all how you could do it much better. Tell us why you troll here and rag on the police but do nothing but post crap from the safety of your keyboard. Nope not the HCSO Detective involved, and this is probably being handled by mid-level unit, but you’re too stupid to know what this. I’m just a person who supports the HCSO rather then rag on them. You probably sit by your police scanner get excited listening and watch COPS 24/7 on TV yelling at the screen telling them how to do their job as well. So, tell us all why you are such a moron? LOL
It must be depressing for you to wait till people post on the Dagger then try to attack them. What happened Mommy didn’t love you enough?
Thats ironic, the same could be said of you and is true. You’re the idiot who started this. You made the first post attacking the HCSO. Now you’re here are saying I’m the one who’s attacking. Go back to watching COPS on TV and telling them how to do their job. Monday morning why not go tell the Sheriff how to do his job as well.
You’re the moron here, Forest Hill found their hamlet idiot, it’s you!
The fact is, you feel you are emboldened to go around the internet arguing with people. What’s the matter sunshine Mom making you get your own hotpockets?
The fact is, you’re just an idiot.
Love it how the Harford County supporters only line is “dont like it then move”. Dont fix the corrupt department that is supposed to be working for the citizens. Nahhhh why do that? Then Hazzard County might become a desirable place to live.
If you don’t like it why don’t you move?
If it sucks so back out here, please pack you ass up and move.
Trust us, you won’t be missed.
I hear home schools in the city are wonderful, not to mention the trash covered roads, corrupt city leaders, ever climbing murder rates and highest taxes in the State.
What’s not to love.
* what that is
Harford County had the conversion to a county police force on the ballot many years ago. It got defeated. Will never happen again. I suggest moving to a county that has a police department, you have several to chose from.
According to his obituary, Mr Belt died of a blood clot that traveled from his leg to his heart, which I think would be termed natural causes.
Is that all you got? Ever think they had to get all the information correct first? Ever think they had to notify next of kin? Ever think they were waiting on the Medical Examiner’s final, not initial report. Ever notice how you don’t have a response to the other answers? Ever notice why I don’t see you filling out an application to join? Every notice how your answers are rather stupid? Ever notice how much of that “Koolaid” you ingest? Ever notice how Sheriff Gahler and his department do an exceptionally good job? Ever notice how foolish you seem? Great Job Sheriff Gahler, his Deputies and Correctional Officers and staff.
And here I am, still wondering if those two good ol redneck boys who got their ass whooped on the side of Route 1 have been caught yet?
@ ForestHill Resident Idiot: there’s your answer. Now go argue with someone else.
You are a Moron……
I hope you rot in hell. I hate you.
