Deputy William Rishel responded to a 911 call for a possibly injured subject at a Lexington Park residence.
Upon arrival he found the victim, holding her 2-year-old son and bleeding heavily from the face and head. She had multiple injuries to her face and head and complained of various points of pain. An ambulance was summoned.
Deputy Rishel was able to discovered that the suspect, Tony Jermaine Hill, 30, of Lusby arrived at the victim’s residence for a visitation exchange. An argument ensued and Hill began striking the victim in the face. A second person waiting in the vehicle, Takiera Shenise Thomas, 24, of Lexington Park was called by Hill to assist in the assault. Both Hill and Thomas repeatedly struck the victim by punching and kicking her.
The two suspects had fled the scene, and police issued a lookout for them. They were later arrested when police stopped their vehicle.
Hill and Thomas were charged with first- and second-degree assault.
