Stabbing incident leads to one arrest in Salisbury

SALISBURY, Md. – Wicomico County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested a Salisbury man earlier this week in connection to a reported stabbing.

According to police, the incident happened at around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, in the area of West Road and Dennis Street. When police arrived they located a victim suffering from multiple stab wounds to his arm.

Further investigation led police to identify the suspect as 27-year-old Derrell Cook. When deputies located Cook and placed him under arrest, it was learned that Cook reportedly stabbed the victim over a small debt and because the victim “ran his mouth too much.” The victim also reported that during the incident, Cook tried to steal cash from the victim.

Cook was arrested and charged with armed robbery, first and second degree assault, and reckless endangerment. He was held without bond.

The victim suffered non-life threatening injuries.
