Yesterday, a bail review hearing for Anthony Troy Soligny, accused of attacking his wife with a hammer on March 2 was postponed until today.

Maryland State Police say Soligny allegedly assaulted his wife with a steel and rubber hammer, which police said they have taken into evidence.

At about 11:30 p.m. March 2, State Police at the Westminster Barracks received a 911 call from the victim, who had gone to a neighbor’s home to call police.

Troopers found the victim had sustained what appeared to be severe blunt force trauma injuries to her head. She was transported by ambulance to the Carroll Hospital Center, then later to Shock Trauma Center.

In the hearing held this morning in Carroll County District Court, visiting Judge Paula J. Brown, noted that Soligny is accused of a violent crime and agreed with the assistant state’s attorney, Tae Yee, that Soligny “is a serious flight risk.”

After the alleged assault on March 2, Soligny had fled the state and was arrested the next day, March 3, while traveling on I-85 just outside of Lavonia Georgia. He was subsequently locked up in Franklin County Detention Center in Carnesville, Ga., until Maryland State Police returned him to Carroll County.

Last Tuesday, Maryland State Police spokesman Greg Shipley said Soligny arrived at the Carroll County Detention Center at 5:45 p.m. He was flown back to Maryland by troopers on a State Police plane. “There were no problems reported during transport.”

Meanwhile, today, the judge ordered the defendant held without bail. It was further ordered that Soligny have no contact with the alleged victim, (his wife) or “the minor children,” and that Soligny be given a psychiatric evaluation.

Soligny did not appear in person in the short hearing but remained in the Carroll County Detention Center and participated by way of a video-link into the courtroom.

After the judge read the charges to the defendant, Soligny only answered “yes,” that he understood the charges. When asked if he will be contacting a public defender or obtaining a private attorney, Soligny responded, “private attorney.”

As if he had any questions, Soligny asked, “No one is going to hurt me here?,” at which time several friends of the victim began sobbing softly in the courtroom, while observing the hearing come to a close. According to several family friends, the victim of the attack is still recuperating from serious injuries.

Various sources close to the investigation have alluded that Soligny has been “uncooperative” since his arrest.
