The U.S. Marshals Service has arrested 30-year-old Gerard Stokes in Greenbelt, Maryland, after allegedly ramming an ATV into an officer with Washington, D.C.’s police department. The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) had wanted Stokes for one count of felony Assault of a Police Officer that occurred on March 15, 2025. The officers were trying to contact a group of individuals operating ATVs and dirt bikes near a gas station. As the officers approached, Stokes accelerated his ATV, raised the front tires in the air, and aimed it toward the officers. As Stokes’s ATV came towards the officers, an officer escaped its path and another was hit and drugged across the gas station lot by Stokes who then fled the scene without stopping. The officer who was hit went to a local hospital and is still recovering from the injuries and has not returned to full duty. U.S. Marshal Service Director Gadyaces S. Serralta stated that this apprehension during the public safety surge proves that they are making a difference by getting ruthless and dangerous criminals off the street. The Greenbelt Police Department also reported that the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force executed a warrant at a home in the 100 block of Ridge Rd that morning.
