Case Summary
Jacob Michael Therres threw a plank of wood at a police officer, hitting the officer in the head and causing lingering medical effects, prosecutors say. Therres, of Fallston, Md., also bragged about having committed violence against the police, possibly with a taser, according to two tipsters who spoke to the FBI. Investigators say photos and videos also show Therres spraying a chemical spray and throwing a liquid at officers. In photos, court documents show Therres wore a red hoodie and a blue hat. Prosecutors say Therres can be seen in photos and videos alongside a man believed to be his stepfather, Douglas Wyatt. Therres and Wyatt were both arrested in November of 2022.
