A jail detainee charged in an assault did not get far, but police said he put a kitchen knife to the throat of a worker in his attempt to escape.While the victims were not hurt, both told the 11 News I-Team that it was extremely scary and they are now more concerned about their safety.Richard Daniel Price, 35, of Brooklyn, remains held at the Jennifer Road Detention Center in Annapolis after a frightening assault and attempted escape. Two women who encountered Price told the I-Team that the incident terrified and traumatized them."When the officer arrived, he learned that someone who was detained inside that facility was able to gain access to an office, and inside that office, gained access to a cabinet and was able to manipulate that cabinet that contained kitchen utensils," Anne Arundel County police Cpl. Chris Anderson said.Apparently, Price was able to move freely for a while inside part of the facility, getting to the kitchen, where he got a 15-inch kitchen knife and grabbed a female contractual staff employee.A court charging document obtained by the I-Team reads, in part: "Price grabbed her, stood behind her, choked her and put a large kitchen knife to her throat. Price repeatedly told her to 'show me the way out' in order to attempt to escape."Price's movements and what occurred were all captured on security camera video. The charging document states: "Surveillance shows Price pushing a button to get detention center control to open a door to the outdoor delivery area."The charging document states Price is seen on video "entering the kitchen area and entering an unlocked office where the Anne Arundel County Detention Center kitchen cutlery is stored in a locked and secured cabinet."Police said that as Price grabbed the victim, a coworker ran for help. A detention center officer ran in and took the knife from Price and arrested him. It all took place in less than a minute.The I-Team contacted the facility and tried to reach its superintendent, Christopher Klein, but was unable to get a response.Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman released a statement, saying: "We are fully reviewing the incident. I look forward to working with Superintendent Klein on addressing any issues that may have caused this unfortunate incident to occur. I applaud the quick thinking of our correctional officers and civilian staff who brought the incident to a close quickly."It was a scary and strange situation for the two workers. The incident remains under investigation."I have been an officer with Anne Arundel County Police Department for 22 years, and this is the first in my recollection of hearing something of this nature occur," Anderson said.Price was charged with assault, reckless endangerment, attempted escape, theft and a weapons violation.
