The Charles County Sheriff’s Office patrol officers arrested four suspects following an armed robbery on March 11 in Waldorf, Maryland.
The incident occurred at approximately 3 p.m. when multiple suspects approached a resident walking in the area of Promenade Place. The suspects displayed a firearm and demanded the victim’s jacket, shoes, and cell phone. The victim complied, and the group fled in a vehicle.
Officers remained on scene and observed the suspects’ vehicle drive past. They initiated a traffic stop at a nearby business, where four individuals were found inside the car. Stolen property belonging to the victim was visible in the vehicle.
All four suspects were taken into custody. One was a 15-year-old in possession of a loaded firearm without a serial number. Another was a 17-year-old carrying a loaded firearm. The remaining suspects included a second 17-year-old and 18-year-old Asomani Hasan Savage-El, of Waldorf.
Savage-El and the two 17-year-old suspects were charged as adults and are being held without bond at the Charles County Detention Center. The 15-year-old was transported to a juvenile facility.
The investigation remains ongoing, with no additional details released on specific charges beyond the initial arrests or potential connections to other incidents.
Promenade Place, located in a residential area of Waldorf in Charles County, has seen prior juvenile-related incidents, including strong-armed robberies and assaults near similar addresses in previous years, though no direct links to this case have been confirmed.
