A Vienna, Maryland resident is facing attempted first-degree murder charges after authorities say he opened fire on a Maryland State Trooper who was responding to a disturbance call late last night.<\/p>

Armond Darel Jolley, 46, was taken into custody and transported to the Easton Barrack for processing before being moved to the Dorchester County Detention Center, where he remains without bond. The charges were filed following discussions with the Dorchester County State’s Attorney’s Office.<\/p>

The incident unfolded around 10:20 p.m. when a trooper from the Easton Barrack arrived at a home on the 100 block of Middle Street in Vienna to investigate reports of a disturbance. The officer found the front door open and encountered a man inside what looked like the living room area.<\/p>

When the trooper asked to speak with the individual, the man retreated deeper into the house before returning armed with a firearm. The suspect then discharged several rounds in the direction of the officer and escaped from the residence.<\/p>

The trooper chose not to return gunfire and instead took cover while calling for backup units. Officials report the officer sustained no injuries during the shooting incident.<\/p>

Law enforcement personnel from the Easton Barrack quickly established a security perimeter around the area and began searching the neighborhood. Within approximately 20 minutes of the shooting, officers discovered the suspect on Water Street, located directly behind the residence where the incident occurred. After a brief pursuit on foot, Jolley was apprehended without additional complications.<\/p>

Multiple agencies responded to assist with the investigation, including Maryland State Police from the Easton Barrack, Criminal Enforcement Division officers, the Underwater Recovery Team, Office of the State Fire Marshal personnel, and Dorchester County Sheriff’s deputies. Evidence collection at the scene was handled by crime scene specialists from the Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division, working alongside investigators and the Dorchester County State’s Attorney’s Office.<\/p>

The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit has taken the lead role in the ongoing investigation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
