Man Charged After Interfering with Police Officer Released-Monday, July 14, 2008 Selbyville – A Frankford man was arrested Sunday night after he pushed a Selbyville Police Officer who was attempting to apprehend a disorderly subject. On Sunday, July 13th at approximately 1:00 am, Selbyville Police Officers along with State Troopers from Georgetown were dispatched to the parking lot of Erin’s Dublin Steakhouse to investigate a fight in progress. When the officers arrived, there were approximately 200 people in the parking lot with various people fighting. In an attempt to subdue a combative subject, the Selbyville Police Officer utilized his departmentally issued taser. At that time, Matthew J. Taylor, 25, of the 30,000 block of Pepper Rd, Frankford charged the Selbyville Officer from behind pushing him to the Officer to the ground. This allowed the subject who was being tased to escape custody. The Officer did not sustain any injuries in the altercation and the other suspect was never located. Mr. Taylor was charged by State Troopers with Offensive Touching of a Law Enforcement Officer and was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 3 in Georgetown.
