On June 20, officers from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office Judicial Services Section located and arrested Dejon Elijah Warren, 25, of Waldorf, who was wanted in connection with an incident on May 18, 2025.
Officers responded to reports of shooting in the 4500 block of Ruston Place in Waldorf.
When they arrived, they discovered that there had been a quarrel amongst neighbors. During the altercation, the defendant, Dejon Warren, got an AR-15-style rifle, and the person he was disputing with fled into their home. Warren then shot and killed a dog chained outside the victim’s home before escaping.
Following an investigation, authorities secured an arrest warrant for Warren, who was charged with reckless endangerment, felony animal cruelty, probation violation, and firearms crimes. He is currently detained without bond at the Charles County Detention Center.
