Authorities arrested a 30-year-old suspect in connection with a brutal attack on a Delmar, Delaware, police officer.
The suspect also reportedly attacked two elderly neighbors in what is believed to be a related crime.
The attack comes as the department suffers a lack of funding and available resources for police and law enforcement officials.
What are the details?
Police arrested Randon Wilkerson early Sunday morning after he reportedly bludgeoned a police officer during what a law enforcement source told Blaze Media was a blindsiding sneak attack.
A news release from the Delaware State Police said the incident unfolded following a call over a fight in a house in Delmar's Yorkshire Estates community.
Wilkerson, the DSP reported, was reportedly fighting with other residents of the home and destroying property, which prompted the initial call. Dispatchers soon received a second phone call reporting that the elderly victim and his wife had been attacked by the same suspect.
Following the initial call, Cpl. Keith Heacook of the Delmar Police Department arrived on the scene around 5:15 a.m. local time and was believed to have immediately met with a physical confrontation.
A source — who has worked in local law enforcement for more than two decades and requested anonymity — told Blaze Media that a missed 10-minute welfare check triggered dispatchers to send more officers to the scene to check on Heacook.
When a Wicomico County Sheriffs Office Deputy and a Delaware State Trooper arrived at 5:50 p.m, the source said that the two reportedly discovered an unconscious Heacook in a pool of blood, having apparently been bludgeoned with his own baton, which was missing from its holster.
The source told Blaze Media that Heacook — who was believed to have been overpowered — Heacock was repeatedly hit so violently that there was a dent in the officer's forehead.
The source added that six other people in the home reportedly witnessed the attack on the officer. None of the witnesses, according to the source, called authorities over the attack, and instead locked themselves in an upstairs room of the home. One of the witnesses reportedly said that they saw Wilkerson "throat-stomping" the officer during the attack. ..............
