Carroll County Detention Center correctional officer allegedly assaulted

By Kevin Dayhoff November 22, 2010 http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2010/11/kevin-dayhoff-carroll-county-md.html

The Carroll County Detention Center reports that yesterday a correctional officer was alleged to have been assaulted by an inmate at the Court Street facility in Westminster.

The preliminary investigation indicates that at 10:52 a.m., inmate Dennis Barry Jennings Jr. allegedly assaulted Correctional Officer Sean Michael Davis in a direct supervision-housing unit of the local lock-up.

According to a police report by Major Steve Reynolds, the assistant warden; Jennings, who is confined at the detention center while waiting for trial for burglary and theft charges “grabbed a chair… attempted to strike the officer and then began assaulting the officer with his fists… without provocation.”

Davis called for back up and additional officers arrived. After initially being treated at the facility, Davis was taken to Carroll Hospital Center where it is reported that he is listed in stable condition as a result of “severe facial injuries.”

Meanwhile, Jennings faces “a multitude of criminal and institutional charges as a result of this assault,” according to Reynolds.

The investigation into the incident is continuing and is being handled by the Investigative Services Bureau of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

She often volunteers to assist with other aspects of the operation between transports. She is a hard working professional and is very knowledgeable about every aspect of her position. Kristy has a very friendly personality and is recognized by her peers as a team leader. Her superior efforts are to be commended and are worthy of this special recognition.

We are equally proud to announce that Correctional Specialist I Raymond Smith has been selected as the Carroll County Detention Center Civilian Employee of the Year for 2009.
