Man arrested in Temple Hills domestic assault

A man on the run since a Temple Hills domestic dispute over the weekend that led an officer to fire her weapon has been apprehended.

 

Prince George’s County police said Tuesday that 30-year-old Joseph Quarm was taken into custody. Additional details about his arrest were not immediately available.

Police responded to a domestic dispute on the 2600 block of Keating Street at about 4 a.m. Sunday. Quarm tried to punch and disarm an officer, authorities said. Officers used pepper spray and a stun gun to subdue him, but he continued to resist arrest, and an officer fired her weapon during the struggle, police said.

Quarm escaped in a car, which was later recovered, police said. He was wanted on charges of assault and attempting to disarm a police officer.
