(Caroline County)- The Caroline Sheriff’s Office says a man accused of assaulting a McDonald’s employee with a hammer in Caroline on Saturday was arrested a day later in the woods along Interstate 95 not far from the restaurant. Police say Bertram Smithen of Lorton walked into the McDonald’s in Ladysmith and attacked an employee with a hammer Saturday evening. That prompted a manhunt for the 48-year-old that included K-9 units as well as searches involving a drone and helicopter. Sunday afternoon deputies said a caller spotted Smithen in the woods along Interstate 95 near the Ladysmith exit. He was arrested without incident.
