The incident occurred on November 16, 2021, when Yasinov broke a control-center window with a broomstick, injuring himself in the process. As correctional officers attempted to transport him for medical treatment, he began issuing threats. Following treatment, he was moved to a segregation unit, where he became combative upon learning he would not return to his original housing unit. When officers tried to secure him in his cell, Yasinov resisted, knocking one officer to the ground and causing several others to fall. Officers eventually restrained him with leg irons and carried him into his cell.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.

But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.

We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?

Despite being secured, Yasinov continued to fight. After officers removed his leg irons, he was instructed to face the wall while they exited. As the last officer attempted to leave, Yasinov charged at them, sparking another violent struggle. Several officers sustained injuries, including one with a fractured tibia and others suffering head, neck, back, and limb injuries. The case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland, with assistance from the U.S. Marshal Service and the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services.
