Cumberland, MD – Justin David Crabtree Jr, 24, was arrested on Wednesday for an alleged assault that occurred on October 18. Officers responded to a report of domestic violence at a Broadway Circle residence where a female victim reported being assaulted and sustaining minor injuries.

Crabtree fled before police arrived. Following an application for charges, an arrest warrant was issued and he was taken before a District Court Commissioner where he was released on a $2,500 unsecured bond.

In another incident, Michael Samuel Cox, 35, was arrested the same day on an active warrant for a burglary that took place on October 20. Officers responding to a Hanover Street residence discovered damage to the door frame and learned that Cox allegedly entered the home and stole cash.

Cox was subsequently taken before a District Court Commissioner and remanded to the Allegany County Detention Center without bond.

Eric Leighton Brewington, 25, was arrested Wednesday under a Bench Warrant issued for failing to comply with court orders related to previous charges. He was taken before a District Court Commissioner and is currently being held without bond.

Eric Roger Marmaduke, 56, was also taken into custody the same day on a Bench Warrant for violating the terms of his probation related to a trespassing conviction. Following his court appearance, he is being held on a $500 bond at the Allegany County Detention Center.
