A Baltimore man wanted in the attempted shooting of a Carroll County Sheriff's deputy was picked up in Hagerstown on Friday, police said.
Brian Joseph Hill, 27, of the 3900 block of Penhurst Ave. was wanted after police say he attempted to shoot the deputy with a handgun during a traffic stop on Old Westminster Pike about 2:30 a.m. Monday.
The deputy, who had stopped Hill's Ford Explorer for suspended tags, returned fire, causing Hill to accelerate and crash in a nearby yard, police said. He fled the wrecked vehicle on foot and several days later, tips led police to a Hagerstown residence, where they found Hill.
He was taken into custody without incident and faces attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault and additional charges.
