A 29-year-old Pittsville man was charged with assault after an incident on Nov. 13, according to the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office.

Brandt J. Roberts was charged in a residence in the 34000 block of Railroad Avenue at 9:11 p.m., after a deputy responded to a report of a fight there, deputies said.

A deputy said he met with two people who said a man was inside the residence  yelling and out of control. During investigation, the deputy learned an argument began between the man and others and it became physical.

The argument escalated when a person in the residence was assaulted, the deputy said. He said he observed signs of injury that corroborated the account.
