Maryland State Police say a trooper shot and killed a bull after it charged a Carroll County sheriff’s deputy and knocked him down.
A Carroll County Sheriff’s Department deputy and a Maryland State Police trooper went to the 2500 block of Flagmarsh Road in Mount Airy about 11 a.m. Wednesday. Police had received reports of a loose bull.
Authorities say when police approached the bull, it turned and charged at the deputy, knocking the officer to the ground with its horns.
Then the trooper shot the bull; it died at the scene.
The zookeeper who was attacked and critically injured by a jaguar at the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve and Zoo in Thurmont this weekend was identified Tuesday as Deborah Gregory, of Severn, according to Maryland state police.
Gregory, 32, remained in critical, but stable, condition Tuesday at University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore after she was attacked about 11 a.m. Sunday while working in the interior den area of the jaguar enclosure at the Frederick County zoo, about an hour outside Baltimore.
When Gregory called for help, staff members moved the animals from the interior den to the exterior exhibit area, so Gregory could receive first aid by staff members and emergency medical technicians before being taken to Shock Trauma.
Zoo officials said Gregory suffered several bite wounds to her upper body from a 13-year-old black jaguar named Diego, a male weighing between 180 and 200 pounds.
Animal control workers did not know for sure if a second jaguar, a female, entered the indoor area or participated in the attack.
The two jaguars, which were properly vaccinated, were placed in quarantine Monday, while zoo officials continued investigating the attack.
State police say a Salisbury man died after he was bound with duct tape during a home invasion.
State police say Brookes Harmon, 27, was bound after three masked men forced their way into his home just before midnight Friday and ordered everyone else into a backroom. State police say Harmon was found unresponsive after the men left about 20 minutes and he was later pronounced dead at Peninsula Regional Medical Center.
State police said his body was taken to Baltimore for an autopsy.
The judge said he was reluctant to send an octogenarian to jail.
But Howard County Circuit Judge J. Thomas Nissel did just that yesterday, sentencing 81-year-old Ayten Icgoren to six months behind bars for mistreating dozens of cats in the Columbia townhouse where she lived with her daughter.
“If it had been a younger person, I would have given you a much longer sentence,” said Nissel, who suspended consecutive 90-day terms on all but the first two charges.
Icgoren, of the 7300 block of Swan Point Way, also will serve 18 months of probation after she is released from the county’s detention center.
