Columbia Avenue Assault arrest

December 3rd, 2024 by WCBC Radio

On Monday, December 2, 2024 at approximately 5:15 PM, officers of the Cumberland Police Department responded to a residence in the 600 block of Columbia Avenue in reference to a trespassing complaint.  Officers arrived and observed a male subject sitting on the porch.  An officer recognized the subject as Alexander Lyddane after he falsely identified himself.  Police were aware that Lyddane had active warrants.   The warrants were issued by the Circuit Court for Allegany County as a result of Lyddane failing to appear in court.  He was originally charged with Assault-First Degree and Assault-Second Degree.  Once Lyddane realized that police were aware, he immediately fled on foot.  Officers were able to catch up to Lyddane and attempted to take him into custody.  Lyddane resisted arrest and assaulted the officers.  After a successful taser deployment, police were able to place Lyddane in hand restraints and take him into custody.  Lyddane was later taken to Central Booking.  He was seen by a District Court Commissioner for a bond hearing regarding the on-view arrest charges and held on a $2,500 bond.  Lyddane is currently being held at the Allegany County Detention Center without bond pending his initial appearance before the Circuit Court.

ARRESTED:  Alexander Thomas Lyddane     AGE:  24       Cumberland, MD
