LEONARDTOWN, Md. – Aaron D’ondre Medley, 24, Waldorf, Maryland, is facing serious legal repercussions after failing to report to the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center to begin a court-ordered sentence. Medley is charged with second-degree escape following his failure to comply with sentencing instructions issued by the court earlier this year.
The events unfolded on May 20, 2024, when Medley, convicted of driving a motor vehicle without a license or proper authorization, was scheduled to surrender at the detention and rehabilitation center by 12:20 p.m. Despite multiple attempts by authorities to contact him, Medley did not appear, violating the terms set forth in a prior court hearing before Judge Karen Christy Holt Chesser.
Court documents indicate that Medley’s original conviction carried a sentence of 90 days, with all but ten days suspended. This sentence, which included 18 months of unsupervised probation, was ordered to run concurrently with any other outstanding sentences. Medley was directed to begin serving his time at 10:00 a.m. on May 20, 2024. However, by mid-afternoon, law enforcement confirmed that he had failed to surrender as required.
The failure to comply led to the issuance of an arrest warrant the same day on charges of second-degree escape under Maryland Criminal Law §9-405(b)(2).
Medley remained at large for over six months until his arrest on November 27, 2024, when the warrant was served. He was apprehended without incident and held without bond following a bail review hearing on December 2, 2024.
This case is part of an ongoing pattern of legal troubles for Medley, who has a documented history of run-ins with law enforcement across multiple counties. Records show prior charges including resisting arrest and failing to appear in court, leading to additional warrants and bond forfeitures. His legal troubles have spanned jurisdictions, including Charles and St. Mary’s counties, highlighting a consistent pattern of noncompliance with court directives.
Medley’s documented address is listed as “no fixed address” in court filings, complicating efforts to locate and apprehend him earlier. Authorities have emphasized the importance of compliance with court orders and are urging individuals in similar situations to surrender voluntarily.
Medley is now awaiting trial, with a court date scheduled for January 2, 2025, in the St. Mary’s County District Court.
