WALDORF, Md. – On October 14 at 4:21 a.m., patrol officers responded to the area of Cave Creek Court in Waldorf for the report of several suspects breaking into cars. As officers arrived, one of the suspects was observed on Derryfield Court. As officers approached, the suspect got into a white Honda SUV and fled.
Officers attempted to stop the Honda, which was reported stolen in La Plata, but the driver continued to flee. During the pursuit, a dark-colored Hyundai attempted to get in between the marked police car and the Honda in what appeared to be an attempt to help the Honda escape. The driver of the Hyundai struck the side the of police car; no one was injured.
Officers utilized stop sticks, which both vehicles struck. The Honda became disabled and stopped on the shoulder of Mattawoman Beantown Road. The driver jumped out of the Honda and onto the hood of the Hyundai that stopped nearby; he eventually made his way inside the vehicle. Officers pursued the Hyundai which became disabled near Coventry Way in Prince George’s County. Four suspects jumped out of that vehicle and fled on foot. Two of the suspects were apprehended without further incident.
A computer check revealed the Hyundai was also reported stolen in Virginia. Officers recovered a semi-automatic firearm with an extended magazine inside one of the vehicles. Several surveillance videos were subsequently recovered which linked the suspects to thefts in Sheffield and in various locations in La Plata.
Dimiuan Paul Jackson, age 24, and Robert Leroy Barnes, age 24, both of Washington, D.C., were charged with theft, trespassing, and other related charges. On October 14, a district court commissioner released Jackson and Barnes from the Charles County Detention Center on personal recognizance.

It’s like your fishing trip you catch and the Court release.
They steal peoples property and runs from the police. Putting the police officers in the public in danger..
I have guns in the car which are probably stolen. I thought the court was to keep the police and the public safe..
Well done police. Sorry the judicial system didn’t have your back. When they skip their court date I say it’s on the district court commissioner to go find them again… you don’t get paid until you do. If only…
Released the same day. No wonder Charles County is a hot spot for crime travel.
Fleeing from law enforcement which endangers citizens, a firearm in the veh, 2 stolen vehicles, plus thefts from other vehicles, and reside in DC. Commissioner releases them on PR. Makes perfect sense. No wonder crime is off the hook. Should have released them on home detention to the commissioners house. I’m sure they will show up for court. Well done CCSO. You did your jobs.
Good job letting a couple thugs released! They really think they are going to show up for court???? Just released to cause more havoc!!!!
This insane!!!!!! What is wrong with the people in charge????? You let these guys go home?????? You are really not trying to keep our streets safe. Now two people have vehicles that have to be repaired due to these low life stealing them. I am so sick of the system.
Clown world.
This is why I can no longer support the Democratic Party. Enough is enough!
