Domestic Assault in Buxton: Early Saturday morning, Sgt. Jack Scarborough was ending his tour of duty for the evening.  As he arrived at his residence, he exited his patrol vehicle and heard what he thought was a female screaming.  After closer listening, he determined the screaming to be coming from two different females and a male.  He returned to his patrol vehicle and found a hysterical female in front of a residence on Dippin’ Vat Road in Buxton. This female informed Sgt. Scarborough that her father had assaulted her mother.  Further investigation discovered the victim of a domestic assault in the street, accompanied by her son.  Dare EMS was called and attended to the victim, flying her to Norfolk Sentara Hospital.  Through his investigation, Sgt. Scarborough determined that the alleged perpetrator of the assault was in a residence on Dippin’ Vat. He reportedly was armed.  The suspect was taken into custody without incident. 


Daniel Franklin McCroskey, 36, 47257 Dippin’ Vat Road, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. He is being held at the Dare County Detention Center in lieu of $100,000 bond. The investigation is pending and more charges are expected.
