WALDORF, Md. – On August 22, detectives assigned to the Criminal Investigations Division, along with the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, located a suspect wanted in connection with an attempted murder case on October Place. The circumstances of the case are as follows:
On April 14, 2025, an adult male was shot multiple times in the chest while on October Place. He was transported to a hospital, where he survived his injuries. Through investigation, detectives identified Earl Tyree Porter, 30, of Waldorf, as the primary suspect in this case. Due to Porter’s transient lifestyle, the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force was contacted to assist in locating him.
On August 22, members of the task force, along with the U.S. Marshals Special Operations Group, served a search warrant related to this investigation in the 3000 block of Gallery Place in Waldorf. Inside the residence, investigators located Porter, Damon Justin Dancy, age 30, of Waldorf, and Dnai Collins, age 26, of Waldorf. During the search, detectives recovered two stolen semi-automatic handguns, controlled dangerous substances, and other evidence. Further investigation revealed that Dancy had three active warrants through Charles County, and Collins had an active warrant as a fugitive from justice through Fairfax County, Virginia.
Porter was arrested and charged with attempted first-degree murder and related offenses; a judge ordered him held without bond. On August 25, a judge ordered that Dancy could be released from the Charles County Detention Center on electronic monitoring, and Collins be released on personal recognizance.

Follow up – What’s the point of issuing THREE warrants for the one CRIMINAL if the county judge just releases him on electronic monitoring??? And for the other individual, why doesn’t Charles County hand her over to Fairfax County, where she has an active warrant?
The Charles County voter base needs to seriously EXAMINE and reconsider who they’re electing. These supposed “judges” aren’t making decisions with law-abiding citizens in mind, they’re PRO-CRIMINAL!
3 active warrants and the weapons, drugs and gets released with a monitor.
Of course Charles County immediatly released them. I wonder why it’s become a crime haven though?
Let’s see, you’re a fugitive from justice and they release you on personal recognizance? That “judge” needs to be fired.
