Father and daughter arrested after lying to deputy

Elizabeth L. Workman, 22, and Robert H. Workman, 55 both of Salisbury

On Monday night, a deputy reportedly responded to Hayes Avenue in an attempt to find Elizabeth Workman, who was the subject of a District Court Bench Warrant.

The warrant was apparently issued after Elizabeth violated the terms of her probation in a CDS case.

Around 9:20 PM, the deputy was reportedly told by her father, Robert Workman that she was not home. Mr. Workman even allegedly told the deputy that Elizabeth had not stayed there in several weeks.

According to the report, while speaking with Mr. Workman, the deputy saw something that indicated there was someone else inside the home, even though Mr. Workman had stated otherwise.

As the deputy was leaving, he was apparently was able to look inside a bedroom window and saw a subject he identified as Elizabeth crawling across the floor in what looked like an attempt not to be seen.

According to the report, the deputy made contact with Mr. Workman again who repeated that he was home alone and that he did not know Elizabeth’s whereabouts. Officials say the deputy entered the residence after seeing Elizabeth though the window, and took her into custody on the warrant.

The deputy also apparently arrested her father, Robert Workman, for hindering and obstructing.

Both Elizabeth and her father were reportedly transported to the Central Booking Unit where they were processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner.

Officials say that following their initial appearances, Elizabeth Workman was detained in the Detention Center without bond while Robert Workman was released on Personal Recognizance.
