Upon arrival, two officers made contact with the suspect, however he did not comply with officers orders and punched one of the officers in the face. Officers utilized a Taser and made an arrest without further incident. A knife was found in the man’s pocket.

On July 15, a district court commissioner ordered Lawson could be released from the Charles County Detention Center after paying 10% of a $1,000 bond.
Officer Marvin is continuing the investigation.
