GRANTSVILLE — A Grantsville man armed with a loaded rifle was arrested without incident early Tuesday when he charged at Garrett County sheriff’s deputies outside his residence on Bill Beitzel Road.
After being taken into custody, Jason Ray Beitzel, 27, was taken to Garrett Memorial Hospital for mental evaluation prior to being released to the custody of the sheriff’s office for arrest processing.
Charged with reckless en-dangerment, and first- and second-degree assault, Beitzel remained in custody late Tuesday morning awaiting further evaluation by medical personnel and a bond hearing by a district court commissioner.
Shortly after 1 a.m., deputies were dispatched to the 400 block of Bill Beitzel Road in reference to a “mental subject.”
Upon arrival, deputies found Beitzel sitting inside his residence where he was armed with a rifle. He then walked toward the officers, failing to comply with commands to drop the weapon. Beitzel then reportedly loaded one round into the rifle and continued toward the deputies in an aggressive manner before he was subdued by deputies and taken into custody, according to the Garrett County Sheriff’s Office.
Police said no one was injured in the incident.
