WALDORF, Md. – Detectives assigned to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division have charged Bryan Neal Gordon, age 27, of Silver Spring, in connection with a kidnapping and assault.
On June 28, at 10:30 p.m., the victim arranged to meet an individual in the 2200 block of Old Washington Road in Waldorf. Once she entered the individual’s vehicle, he falsely claimed to be a police officer, handcuffed her, physically assaulted her and then drove to another location where he sexually assaulted her.
The victim escaped several hours later and called 9-1-1. She was transported to the hospital for treatment. Through investigation, detectives learned that later the next morning, the Maryland Transportation Authority Police arrested a man in Anne Arundel County in an unrelated kidnapping case in which the circumstances were similar to this case.
Further, detectives obtained a search warrant for the suspect’s vehicle and recovered evidence linking him to the assault stemming from Old Washington Road. Detectives obtained an arrest warrant charging Gordon with kidnapping, false imprisonment, and other related charges.
Gordon is currently being held in the Anne Arundel County Detention Center. Anyone who may have been approached by Gordon is asked to call Det. Singh at 301-609-6471. The investigation is ongoing.
