Waldorf Woman Arrested Twice In One Week As $27K Fraud Case Leads To New Identity Theft Allegations

WALDORF, Md. — A Waldorf woman already facing fraud and theft charges was arrested for a second time in less than a week after detectives uncovered additional identity theft allegations tied to an apartment lease, according to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office.

Annaya Lisette Hines, 26, of Waldorf, is now facing additional fraud, identity theft and theft-related charges after investigators allege she used the stolen identity of an elderly woman to lease an apartment in Waldorf.

The newest allegations come as Hines was already under investigation in a separate Charles County case involving stolen banking information, unauthorized daycare-related payments and more than $27,000 in attempted or processed transactions across five financial accounts.

According to charging documents and the sheriff’s office, the earlier case involved banking information that was allegedly used without authorization to make payments through The Family Academy of Waldorf. The daycare is not accused of wrongdoing in the charging documents and provided records to investigators.

Charging documents state 18 unauthorized transactions were made between Oct. 10, 2025, and Jan. 21, 2026, totaling approximately $9,100. The payments were credited toward daycare tuition for a child connected to Hines, according to the application for charges.

Detectives later obtained financial records from ProCare Solutions, the payment software company used for the daycare account. Those records showed Hines processed $27,106.99 in transactions from five different financial accounts, according to charging documents.

The sheriff’s office reported the records indicate multiple victims may have been impacted.

Hines was initially arrested May 14 on an active warrant in an unrelated case. While she was in custody, detectives served her with a criminal summons connected to the daycare payment investigation, which includes felony theft and theft scheme charges.

The sheriff’s office reported detectives also served a search warrant May 14 at the residence where Hines was living and recovered evidence related to additional identity theft and fraud-related crimes.

On May 20, Hines was released from the Charles County Detention Center on electronic monitoring after the court approved her release conditions. As part of that process, Hines listed an apartment in Waldorf as her residence, according to the sheriff’s office.

Shortly after her release, detectives determined Hines had allegedly leased the apartment using the stolen identity of an elderly woman who did not know her.

Investigators further learned the woman was the same victim from whom Hines stole more than $10,000 in a fraud case in another jurisdiction two years earlier, according to the sheriff’s office. Although Hines had been placed on probation in that case, detectives determined she continued using the woman’s personal information.

Detectives also learned the rent on the apartment had not been paid in more than two months, resulting in a loss of approximately $7,000 to the apartment owner, according to the sheriff’s office.

Detectives responded to the apartment listed on Hines’ release paperwork and arrested her at the scene. She was transported back to the Charles County Detention Center, where she was charged with additional counts of fraud, identity theft and theft-related offenses.

Hines is currently being held without bond.

Detectives are continuing to investigate Hines’ possible connection to other fraud cases. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Gordon at 301-609-6546.

Hines is scheduled for a preliminary inquiry June 29 in Charles County District Court.
