Patrol officers de-escalate violent domestic assault and arrest suspect who was armed with a firearm: On August 28 at 9:22 a.m., officers responded to the 2000 block of Amberleaf Place in Waldorf for the report of a domestic-related assault involving a firearm. Upon arrival, officers located the victim who was in the parking lot. The victim reported her boyfriend, Damon Clyburn Glenn, 43, of Waldorf, began to argue with her inside their apartment. As she attempted to leave, he grabbed her by her neck and began choking her. He then retrieved a firearm and threatened to kill her. The victim found an opportunity to flee, and she ran from the apartment and called 9-1-1.
Officers responded to the apartment and attempted to contact the suspect, who refused to open the door. Officers established a perimeter and Cpl. S. Rollins, who is trained in Crisis Intervention, responded. She initiated a rapport with the suspect and began de-escalating the situation. The suspect exited the apartment about 20 minutes later and was taken into custody without further incident. A firearm was recovered inside. Glenn was charged with first-degree assault. On August 29, a judge ordered Glenn to be released from the Charles County Detention Center on electronic monitoring. PFC Z. Snyder is investigating.
