Man Charged In Hammer Attack Extradited From Ga.
NEW WINDSOR, Md. (AP) ―
Maryland state police say a man accused of bludgeoning his doctor wife with a hammer has been extradited from Georgia.
Anthony Soligny, 33, of New Windsor, Md., was arrested last week after a deputy spotted his truck on Interstate 85 in Franklin County, Ga., northeast of Atlanta. Police say he is now being held at the detention center in Carroll County, Md.
He's charged with attempted murder, assault and reckless endangerment. Police say Soligny attacked his wife, Dr. Michelle Nanda, with a hammer. Nanda is a family physician who practices in Westminster.
Police posted a lookout for Soligny. After the deputy in Georgia spotted the truck and started following Soligny, he pulled over, called 911 and told dispatchers he was going to surrender.
