BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The 21-year-old man arrested in the murder of a Wicomico Sheriff's Deputy was indicted on multiple charges—including first-degree murder—last week, according to charging documents.

Austin Jacob Allen Davidson faces a total of 18 charges related to the death of Deputy Glenn Hillard, per June 27 documents filed at the Circuit Court for Wicomico County.

He is being held without bond at the Allegany County Detention Center in Cumberland, Maryland, according to charging documents.

Davidson is scheduled to appear in court on July 15.
