Patuxent High School Teacher Arrested for Assaulting Husband

On January 10, 2018 at approximately 11:00 p.m., Deputy Spalding of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence on Sagebrush Drive in Lusby for the report of a domestic assault.

Upon arrival, Spalding spoke with the complainant, who advised his wife, Nancy Jane Crosby, 46 of Lusby, hit him in the face. The victim had visible signs of injury to his right eyebrow with his eyebrow appearing swollen and one red mark both above and below his eyebrow. While interviewing the victim, Crosby was in the driveway with her two children in the car. Both children were briefly interviewed and told police that they did not witness the assault.

The victim was visibly upset and told police he was trying to talk to his wife about going to counseling because they are supposed to go. He said she went to their bedroom, at which point he followed her. According to the victim, Crosby sternly warned him that she was going to “(expletive) him up!” if he did not leave the room. He said he just asked her to talk to him and she backhanded him in the eyeball. The victim was unsure if his wife used her left or right hand or if her hand was open or closed. He corroborated his children’s account of the incident, telling police that they did not witness the assault.

Spalding then spoke with Crosby to get her version of the events that transpired, at which point she claimed nothing happened. She said she was going to bed and her husband came in the room. She said before her husband came in the room, he asked about her “Facebook friends,” which she claimed to have no clue what he was talking about. According to Crosby, she then got in bed and her husband came in and “started in on her.” Crosby said she then asked her husband to leave the room. At that point, Crosby said her husband told her to hit him and said he knows she wants to hit him.

Crosby denied putting her hands on her husband, but failed to provide a reason for the visible evidence on his eye. She also described her husband as “off his rocker.”

Nancy Jane Crosby, a social studies teacher at Patuxent High School, was arrested for second degree assault and violation of a protective order. Nancy Crosby was transported to the Calvert County Detention Center and served with the appropriate charging documents.
