BRYANS ROAD, Md. — A Bryans Road man is facing misdemeanor charges after police say he assaulted another man during an attempted vehicle theft in Charles County.
Amajhia Aaron Carroll, 23, was arrested Jan. 18 following an incident reported at a residence along Arbor Lane, according to police reports and court records. Carroll is charged with second-degree assault and rogue and vagabond.
According to a statement of probable cause, Charles County sheriff’s deputies responded around 7:15 p.m. to the 6800 block of Arbor Lane for a report of an attempted theft of a motor vehicle. When officers arrived, they found the alleged victim standing over Carroll in the roadway.
The victim told deputies he had returned home from grocery shopping and briefly went inside his residence. When he came back outside, he saw Carroll sitting in the driver’s seat of his vehicle. The victim said he confronted Carroll and asked him what he was doing inside the vehicle.
According to the report, Carroll told the victim that his cousin had asked him to retrieve a charger inside the vehicle. When he began walking toward Carroll, Carroll attempted to flee. He said he grabbed Carroll, and a physical struggle ensued in the roadway in front of the residence.
Police said the victim reported being scratched on the face multiple times during the struggle. Carroll also sustained minor visible abrasions to his foot and mouth, according to the report.
Both men declined medical treatment at the scene, police said.
After being advised of his Miranda rights, Carroll agreed to speak with deputies. According to the report, Carroll stated he had been walking in the neighborhood when the victim confronted him. Carroll denied being in any vehicle.
Deputies transported Carroll to the Charles County Detention Center following the incident. Court records show he was later released on his own recognizance.
Carroll is charged with second-degree assault, a misdemeanor, and rogue and vagabond, which police allege stemmed from his presence in the vehicle with intent to commit theft.
A trial is scheduled for March 6, 2026, in Charles District Court.

“released on his own recognizance” JFC our justice system sucks. This man saw a car open and unattended in someone’s driveway, in a neighborhood, and thought “I’ll take that”. That is a low IQ sociopath and he’ll never learn if he’s not punished. Here’s to hoping he even shows up to his court date.
Probably not the first attempt. Quit letting them back on the streets the next day smdh. They do the same thing over and over again.
