Friday Incident Leads To Warrant Arrest

December 18th, 2016 by WCBC Radio

On December 17, 2016 the Cumberland Police served an arrest warrant on Rick Franklin Imes for 2nd Degree Assault, Intoxicated Public Disturbance, Disturbing the Peace, Trespass: Private Property, and Disorderly Conduct.

The warrant stems from an incident where Cumberland Police responded to a business on Queen City Drive on December 16, 2016 at approximately 7:55 PM in reference to a person refusing to leave the store and was creating a disturbance. Upon police arrival they located Imes at the business being told by employees to leave the store. Imes refused and had to be escorted from the store by the police at which time he began threatening the officer and stated he would use a weapon on him.

The officer began patting down Imes and he pushed the officer’s hand away from him. Imes then turned toward the officer and attempted to strike the officer. Imes was secured and taken to the Western Maryland Regional Medical Center for an evaluation where he was later released. The officer was not injured during the incident.

A warrant for Imes’ arrest was applied for and granted at the District Court Commissioner’s Office while he was being treated at the hospital. On December 17 a Cumberland Police officer observed Imes walking in the Downtown Cumberland area and placed him under arrest without incident. Imes was taken before a District Court Commissioner where he was ordered to be held without bond. He was taken to the Allegany County Detention Center to await his next court appearance.

Rick Franklin Imes, age: 46, Cumberland, MD

Charges: 2nd Degree Assault, Intoxicated Public Disturbance, Disturbing the Peace, Trespass: Private Property, and Disorderly Conduct
