Members of the Charles County Sheriff’s Office sought to track down the 33-year-old Brandywine earlier this week on multiple active warrants stemming from violent crimes throughout the region, but put up quite a fight before ultimately being apprehended.
The long day for deputies began at approximately 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday, July 18.
Wade-Greene was spotted in the area of Woodville Road in Brandywine driving a black pick-up truck that was towing a trailer, prompting a police pursuit.
The wanted man refused to stop and fled to Young Road, eventually stopping in the area of Hunter Harbors Lane, at which point he bailed from the truck, took out a gun and fled into a nearby wooded area.
He was only getting started.
While searching the woods, the sheriff’s office received a 911 call from a homeowner who reported that Wade-Greene confronted two residents on Stillwater Place at gunpoint while demanding car keys.
It is alleged that he then rummaged through the home looking for keys, which he did, but not before assaulting a teenage girl who was in the garage and attempting to steal the car as officers arrived at the house.
He still wasn’t done.
Wade-Greene instead fled back into the woods and as officers were attempting to arrest him for his day of terror, he struck two with a bottle before ultimately being apprehended.
The officers who were assaulted are treated for minor injuries, and a gun was found inside of a freezer at the Stillwater Place home.
Further investigation found that the trailer Wade-Greene was towing was reported stolen in Waldorf, and earlier that day, he had attempted to steal a motorcycle from Young Road.
Wade-Greene was charged with:
- First-degree assault;
- Attempted carjacking;
- Second-degree assault;
- Home invasion;
- Use of a firearm during a violent crime;
- Illegal possession of a firearm due to previous convictions;
- “Other charges.”
At his initial court appearance this week, a judge ordered that Wade-Green be held without bond at the Charles County Detention Center.
