Deputy Sergeant Arrested, Accused Of Domestic Assault: Anne Arundel Sheriff

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD — The Anne Arundel County Sheriff's Office said one of its deputy sergeants was arrested recently and accused of domestic assault.

The sheriff identified the arrestee as Matthew Beall and said he was suspended without pay.

The Anne Arundel County Police Department told the sheriff's office that it received charging documents against Beall last Thursday around 11 p.m. The police department arrested Beall around 1 a.m. Friday, the sheriff's office said.

A press release said Beall faces two counts of second-degree assault and one count of robbery. The charges stem from an incident that happened sometime between June 13 and June 23 and a second incident that followed on July 11.

Officers booked Beall at the county's Central Holding and Processing Facility at the Jennifer Road Detention Center in Annapolis. Beall was released on recognizance, authorities said.

“The Sheriff’s Office will continue to work with the police department and other entities to provide any necessary services for all involved as this case moves forward,” Sheriff Jim Fredericks said in the release.

Fredericks' team will also conduct an internal investigation.
