Recently, a Queen Anne’s County Sheriff’s Office corporal came upon a man lying in the roadway at the roundabout on Castle Marina Road in Chester. The man was later identified as Aidan Demma. Corporal Betts was driving into the roundabout when he saw someone lying in the middle of the road, stopped, and got out to help. He also called for an ambulance.  Demma was taken to a hospital to be checked out, and Deputies accompanied him because of his condition.  While medical staff were caring for him, he had to be restrained with handcuffs due to his on-going conduct.  During his time in the ER, Demma tried to get out of his hospital bed, allegedly kicking Deputy First Class Holden in the face near his eye.   Demma now faces five charges and citations including disorderly conduct, Intoxicated endanger, 2nd degree assault on an officer, intoxicated public disturbance, and failure to obey a reasonable and lawful order. 

Yesterday afternoon, eight middle school students were hospitalized after a small can of pepper spray was accidentally discharged on a Talbot County school bus.  The incident took place near Glenwood Avenue in Easton. According to Greg Wright, Deputy Chief of the Easton Police Department, the bus was en route to Easton Elementary School after picking up a group of middle school students. The discharge occurred when a female student reached inside her purse and accidentally triggered the device.   All affected students were treated and released.
