Police: Man arrested after barricading himself in house

An Annapolis man faces assault charges after police said he attacked two people and barricaded himself inside a home for about two-and-a-half hours Wednesday.

Anne Arundel police said officers responded to a report of an assault at a house in the 400 block of Master Derby Court at around 8 p.m. Officers were told the alleged assailant was also armed.

The officers found the two victims of the alleged assault and they were uninjured, police said. But the attacker had barricaded himself inside the house armed with firearms.

After about two-and-a-half hours of negotiations, police said they were able to enter the home around 10:30 p.m. and arrest the attacker — Demond Lavell Dorsey, 43, of Annapolis — without incident.

Police said two firearms — a loaded semi-automatic pistol and a 12-gauge shotgun — were recovered from inside the home.

Maryland court records indicate the incident was a domestic dispute, as Dorsey had been ordered to stay away from several locations and not contact the victims after a hearing in Glen Burnie. He faces felony and misdemeanor assault charges as well as reckless endangerment, court records show.

Dorsey does not have an attorney listed in online court records.
