UPDATE:

Dec. 26 Deputy Flynt Update from Sheriff Cox

Good evening Calvert County. I was able to spend some time with Deputy Flynt and I am happy to report he is doing better than expected to this point. He had another surgery yesterday and is scheduled for another tomorrow (Tuesday). We are hoping that is the last surgery for a while. He did have to spend Christmas in the hospital. However, he remained in good spirits and has been in communication with family, friends, and co-workers. We hope he can be released from his current facility in the next few weeks. He still has a long road of rehabilitation ahead of him, but all things considered, our Christmas wishes have come true to this point. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he moves along this journey. I will keep you updated as best as I can. Thank you.

Sheriff Ricky Cox

UPDATE: Calvert Sheriff Deputy James Flynt is now in stable condition

Senior Deputy Flynt Update and Thank You

Good morning Calvert County, I just wanted to give a quick update on Master Deputy Flynt. We are ecstatic to be able to say his condition has improved, and currently, he can be described as stable. He has been alert and able to communicate. He will undergo more surgery today and remain in ICU for what looks like an extended period. While he still has a long road to recovery, his prognosis has greatly improved in the last 24 hours. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

I would also like to take a moment to recognize our dispatchers and our emergency medical personnel. The audio of the call reveals some of the most professional, well-trained individuals I have ever heard in a stressful situation. It is this seamless teamwork between the police, dispatchers, and medical personnel on the scene that allowed for getting the proper resources. But more importantly, those actions allowed for Deputy Flynt to get to CalvertHealth in the most efficient manner possible. Once there, they did amazing work to get him stabilized and on a flight to Medstar. These actions greatly contributed to saving his life.

Thank you to all involved, your amazing work did not go unnoticed.

I will continue to provide updates as I get them. Again, please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you,

Sheriff-Elect Ricky Cox

UPDATE: Deputy Flynt is out of surgery. Doctors are optimistic, but he could still lose his leg as a result of gunfire by the thug.

FROM CALVERT SHERIFF-ELECT RICKY COX: Last night, I received a call no Sheriff ever wants to receive. One of our deputies was shot while exchanging gunfire with a suspect following a vehicle pursuit. The suspect was also shot, and both of them were transported to area trauma centers for their injuries. The suspect is in stable condition, and our deputy is out of surgery and remains in critical condition.

We will know more specifics about the incident in the coming days.  But you should know the deputies involved in this case were nothing short of heroic. They apprehended the suspect and provided him with immediate medical attention. They protected the public’s safety while simultaneously taking care of their brother.  

The deputy that was injured literally put his life on the line. He did not go to work yesterday, knowing his life would be changed forever. But, as he has done every day of his career, he suited up knowing it was a possibility.  

The support from the citizens of this county has been nothing short of amazing. This deputy, those directly involved, and the men and women of this agency are going to need your prayers and support in the coming days and weeks. Thank you to all of the emergency services that have rendered aid. The outpouring of support has been incredible. 

As I mentioned, the deputy is out of surgery, and we are waiting for news in regard to his recovery. I will be sure to keep our community updated as we receive additional updates going forward.

UPDATE: Serious injury to deputy may end his career

THE CHESAPEAKE TODAY has learned that the deputy who was injured by the fleeing felonious acts of a suspect firing at several deputies in Huntingtown was shot in the leg with an artery hit and then a bone before the bullet exited. Many such injuries lead to a medical retirement forced upon an officer and ending his or her career in law enforcement.

The criminals of Prince Georges’s County treat the Calvert County, St. Mary’s, and Charles County communities as if they are their buffet line from which to steal and rob, making more commonplace such shootings at citizens and officers. Meanwhile, legislators from PG County and County officials are arguing about establishing a curfew for teens due to so many incidents of teens being involved in shootings and murders. At the same time, the hyper-liberal socialist legislators keep up their efforts to strip citizens of lawfully owning and carrying guns.

UPDATE: Calvert County Sheriff’s Deputy Shot During Vehicle Pursuit

On Saturday, December 17, 2022, around 9:30 p.m., Calvert County Sheriff’s Deputies conducted a traffic stop in the area of Yellow Bank Road in Dunkirk. During the initial stop, the suspect vehicle fled from deputies at a high rate southbound on Rt. 4.

Preliminary investigation revealed the suspect driving the fleeing vehicle opened fire at pursuing deputies, striking one patrol vehicle. The pursuit continued to the Walnut Creek subdivision in Huntingtown, where deputies utilized a Pit Maneuver to terminate the pursuit. The occupants of the vehicle fled on foot. The suspect that was driving fired additional rounds, ultimately striking a deputy. Deputies returned fire and the suspect fled into the nearby development.

The passenger of the vehicle was immediately taken into custody. A short time later, deputies apprehended the suspect near the entrance to the neighborhood. It was determined the suspect had also been shot, suffering non-life-threatening injuries.

Both the suspect and the deputy were transported to area trauma centers for injuries received. The suspect remains in stable condition. Calvert Sheriff Mike Evans, who leaves office in two days, reports that the deputy is in critical condition as of 2 am on December 18, 2022.

Two additional deputies involved in the exchange of gunfire have been placed on administrative leave in accordance with agency policy.

In accordance with Maryland State Law, The Maryland Attorney General’s Independent Investigations Division (IID) was contacted but declined to handle the investigation based on a lack of qualifying factors. The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate.
