FREDERICK, MD — A man and woman suspected of fraud across the state of Maryland, are in custody after showing up at a Fulton Bank in Frederick.
Saturday, November 25th, someone at the bank at 5211 Presidents Court, recognized DeWight Aaron Gilbert, 37, as a person wanted for fraud, and called police.
Deputies arrived and tried to take Gilbert, and a woman who was with him, into custody, but she fled. One deputy chased after her. That's when deputies say Gilbert assaulted a deputy attempting to detain him, and he fled.
