On December 15 at 11:36 p.m., officers responded to a home on Sherman Road in Waldorf for the report of a domestic assault in progress. Upon arrival, officers went inside and found the victim in the hallway with severe facial injuries; the suspect was in a bedroom trying to close the door as officers attempted to gain entry. Officers de-escalated the situation and the suspect complied with the officers’ commands; he was taken into custody without further incident.
A preliminary investigation showed the suspect, Joshua Aaron Carter, 31, of Clinton, choked the victim and bit her on the face causing a severe injury to her nose and septum. As the suspect was assaulting the victim, the suspect’s dog bit him causing injuries to his legs and arm. The victim was transported to a hospital where she was treated for serious injuries. The suspect was treated at a hospital for the injuries he sustained from his dog and then transferred to the Charles County Detention Center where he was charged with first-degree assault. On December 17, a judge ordered Carter to be held at the Charles County Detention Center without bond. Cpl. Tyner is investigating.
