Officers Injured During Arrest Of Man Armed With Knife

Officers injured during arrest of suspect armed with knife: On September 8 at 7:33 p.m. a patrol officer initiated a traffic stop in the area of St. Ignatius Drive and October Place in Waldorf. The driver refused to stop and sped off. Stop sticks were utilized and the car’s tires became deflated. The driver exited the car and fled but was apprehended within a short distance. While trying to take the subject into custody, the suspect produced a folding knife with a blade about 5 inches in length and stabbed one officer in the leg. During the struggle, another officer sustained superficial cuts on his fingers from the knife. Officers were able to get the knife away from the suspect and arrest him without further incident. The suspect was found to be in possession of over 30 grams of crack cocaine, cannabis, and drug packaging materials. Both officers sustained minor injuries. The suspect, Sean Gerard Estep, age 39, of Marbury, was charged with first-degree assault, second-degree assault, possession with intent to distribute, and other related charges. On September 10, a judge ordered Estep to be held without bond at the Charles County Detention Center. Officer Brown and Lt. Yates investigated.
