Edgewood Stabbing Suspect Arrested Hours After Argument: Sheriff

EDGEWOOD, MD - A man was charged this week in a stabbing less than six hours after it occurred, according to the Harford County Sheriff's Office.

Roland Henry, 39, of Edgewood, was charged with assault and burglary after an argument that sent another man to the hospital, officials said.

Deputies were called to the 100 block of Jacob Street at 3:38 p.m. on Wednesday for a reported stabbing and found a 32-year-old Edgewood man who had been wounded in the upper body, according to officials.

Henry and the victim had gotten into a verbal dispute in the common area at the location when the stabbing happened, investigators allege.

An Abingdon Volunteer Fire Company ambulance took the victim to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center for injuries that officials said were not believed to be life-threatening.

After collecting evidence at the scene as well as additional information, detectives said they learned where Henry was around 8:45 p.m. and brought him in for questioning.

Henry was then charged with first and second-degree assault and third and fourth-degree burglary and taken to the Harford County Detention Center, where he is being held without bail.

A preliminary hearing is set in the case for Sept. 25 in Harford County District Court.
