2nd BASEBALL BAT ATTACK IN WEEK
By Kevin E. Dayhoff
A baseball bat was the weapon of choice as a High’s Dairy Store employee in Carroll County was assaulted for the second time this week by a man who robbed the store, taking an undetermined number of Maryland Lottery scratch-off tickets.
The store clerk at High’s Village Road location in Sykesville was struck several times in the head and body early Friday by an assailant who had allegedly threatened him several days before and who then fled the scene after being interrupted by a bystander who observed the incident and attempted to intervene.
State troopers and Sykesville police responded to the store about 6:45 a.m. Friday in answer to a report of an “assault with a baseball bat.”
According to the Maryland State Police, when the officers arrived on the scene, they “located the lone store clerk suffering from multiple injuries from an apparent strike to the head and body with a baseball bat.”
A warrant was subsequently issued for Darrell L. Webb Jr., 21, of the 1800 block of Amanda Lane in Sykesville, charging him with armed robbery, first-degree assault, and theft, with additional charges pending.
“Troopers believe Webb acted alone and at this time is the only suspect in the incident,” the state police reported.
