Authorities detain 58-year-old Myron Stone Scriber following an alleged assault at Little Flower School.
ST. MARY’S COUNTY, Md. — A man was taken into custody Tuesday morning after reportedly attacking a staff member at Little Flower School in Great Mills and later engaging in a confrontation with law enforcement.
The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office responded to a disturbance at the Catholic school around 7:45 a.m. A 911 caller reported that a man had assaulted a staff member before fleeing on a bicycle.
Deputies arrived and located a suspect matching the description. When approached by officers, the man allegedly charged at a deputy, leading to a brief struggle involving both deputies and a Maryland State Trooper. Law enforcement managed to subdue and arrest him.
Authorities identified the suspect as 58-year-old Myron Stone Scriber of Callaway. Investigators also connected him to another incident minutes earlier, where he was seen riding his bicycle erratically on Route 5 near Holy Face Church in Great Mills.
Scriber was taken to the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown and charged with two counts of second-degree assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and disrupting school activities. Officials confirmed that the investigation remains ongoing.
Little Flower School, a private Catholic institution serving pre-kindergarten through eighth grade students, is located in the heart of Great Mills. More details about the school are available on its website.
Authorities urge anyone with further information about the incident to contact the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office at 301-475-8008.
