Suspect Arrested for Sexual Assaults; Additional Victims Sought

Detectives have charged an Edgewood man in connection with two sexual assaults in November and are currently seeking any potential additional victims.

On November 4, 2021 at 3:51 p.m., deputies assigned to the Southern Precinct of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 800 block of Fisherman’s Lane in Edgewood for the report of a sexual assault. Upon arrival, the victim informed deputies that at approximately 3 p.m. that afternoon, an unknown male approached her outside the Dollar Tree in Edgewood and put his hands down her pants. The victim provided a description of the suspect, and the investigation continued.

Then, on November 12, 2021 at 12:23 p.m., deputies assigned to the Southern Precinct of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the Dollar Tree in the 1900 block of Pulaski Highway in Edgewood for the report of an assault. Upon arrival, deputies were informed by an employee of the store, that she was outside the store when an unknown male exited the store, pulled her pants down, and walked away.

Through investigation, it was determined the two incidents were connected. As the investigation progressed, Patrol Deputies identified a potential suspect, Televon Cornelius Jones, 36, of Edgewood.
