MD: Hornberger (R) hit with assault charge from adult son; lawmaker says it's 'unfounded' and 'misguided'
A Cecil County delegate says assault charges filed against him last week by his adult son are unfounded and were “inappropriately filed.”
Del. Kevin B. Hornberger (R-Cecil) is facing a second-degree assault charge filed last week by his adult son, Adam Hornberger. The charges, filed through a Cecil County District Court commissioner, are now under review by that county’s state’s attorney for possible prosecution.
“I love my son with all my heart. I would do anything to help rectify this situation and repair our family, and I believe he knows that,” Hornberger said in an emailed statement. “My expectation is that this family tragedy, magnified by media attention because of my and his mother’s elected positions, will be resolved favorably for all and in a way that his behavior and life can be improved, and any aspersions cast as a result of this regrettable incident [be] conclusively removed.”
Adam Hornberger is the son of the delegate and his ex-wife, Cecil County Executive Danielle Hornberger (R). An attempt to reach the county executive for comment was not immediately successful.
