Recently, there has been an increase in incidents where our Deputies have been spat on while performing their duties, including during arrests. 

๐‹๐ž๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ž ๐›๐ž ๐œ๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ซ: This behavior will ๐ง๐จ๐ญ be tolerated in Garrett County. Spitting on a Deputy is not only deeply disrespectfulโ€”it poses a serious health risk due to the potential transmission of diseases. 

This act is considered a form of ๐š๐ฌ๐ฌ๐š๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ and will be treated accordingly under the law.

Anyone who engages in this behavior will face immediate and appropriate legal consequences. Deputies are also authorized to use necessary force to protect themselves in such situations. We are committed to ensuring the safety and dignity of our law enforcement officers as they serve our community.
