Carroll Co man taken into custody for attack with hammer - By Kevin Dayhoff March 3, 2010

Westminster - Lieutenant Andrew Winner of the Maryland State Police has said that the Carroll County man they have been searching for, after allegedly assaulting his wife last night with a hammer, has been captured in Georgia.

In an earlier press release, the accused is identified as Anthony T. Soligny, 33, of the unit-block of Grapes View Drive, New Windsor, Md. He is described as a white male, 6’2” tall, 195 lbs., with brown hair and hazel eyes. He was believed to have been operating a silver 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 quad-cab pickup truck, with Maryland tag 00V129.

Soligny was considered dangerous. Maryland State Police obtained a warrant for him after last night’s incident, charging him with attempted murder, first and second-degree assault, and reckless endangerment.

In a telephone interview, Winner said that the incident “appears to be yet another domestic violence case. It’s a terrible case. Very troubling. The Maryland State Police takes these cases quite seriously.”

The victim, (whose name is being withheld by Soundtrack because she is allegedly the victim of domestic abuse,) is currently undergoing care for her injuries at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, where she is listed in stable condition.

According to a preliminary investigation by the Maryland State Police, the victim is alleged to have been assaulted by her husband with a steel and rubber hammer, which police have taken into evidence.

At about 11:30 p.m. yesterday, Maryland State Police at the Westminster Barracks received a 9-1-1 call from the victim, who had gone to a neighbor’s home to call police.

The Maryland State Police have reported that the responding troopers found the victim had sustained what appeared to be severe blunt force trauma injuries to her head. The victim was transported by ambulance to the Carroll Hospital Center. She was later transported by ambulance to the Shock Trauma Center.

Soligny was not at his home when troopers arrived and a lookout was issued for him, according to the release. It is not known what prompted the assault other than some type of argument between the accused and victim.

Troopers are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the assault.
