BROOKLYN, MD – On the evening of Monday, at approximately 6:00 p.m., officers responded to an assault in the 200 block of Franklin Avenue. The victim reportedly owed money to the two suspects, a male and a female, who attacked him with a baseball bat and an expandable baton.

The suspects, identified as Richard Leon Eaton, a 55-year-old from Baltimore, and Terri Lynn Sanders, a 60-year-old from Pasadena, were later found and apprehended at a hotel on Belle Grove Road. A search of their room resulted in the seizure of suspected crack cocaine, suspected heroin/fentanyl, a substantial amount of cash, digital scales, and packaging material. The weapons used in the assault were recovered from Eaton’s vehicle.

Eaton and Sanders are both facing charges related to the assault and drug violations.
