MANASSAS, VA — A U.S. Marshals Task Force arrested a man Friday wanted for the attempted malicious wounding of a family member Jan. 5 at an apartment in the 7500 block of Margate Court, according to Prince William County Police. Michael Spencer Wilson, 34, of the aforementioned address, was arrested at a parking lot in the area of Smoketown Road and Minnieville Road without incident.
Shortly before 9:30 p.m., police went to the residence after the victim, a 32-year-old man, reported that he and Wilson had been in an argument that escalated. That's when Wilson whipped out a gun and pointed it at the victim, who was able to flee after being assaulted and contact police. He suffered a minor injury to his hand.
When police arrived, unsuccessful attempts were made to contact Wilson, who was believed to still be inside. Because he had a gun, tactical units also were involved. Police eventually determined Wilson no longer was there and obtained a warrant for his arrest.
