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?
Following the initial report, a collaborative search effort was launched involving the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) and the Frederick Police Department (FPD). Officers located an individual matching the suspect’s description in the vicinity of Center Street and Washington Street. The man attempted to evade apprehension on foot but was taken into custody without further incident. Subsequent investigation revealed that the suspect did not possess a firearm during the incident. The apprehended individual has been identified as Jerry Garrett Piercy, a 65-year-old resident of Frederick. Piercy was transported to the Frederick County Adult Detention Center and faces charges including armed robbery, robbery, and theft of property valued between $100 and $1,500.
