LA PLATA, Md. – On January 17, 2024, members of the La Plata Police Department and the Charles County Sheriff’s Office responded to the report of an individual brandishing a firearm in the area of Charles Street and La Grange Avenue.
A description of the individual was broadcasted and the individual was located in the 200 block of Kent Avenue. As officers approached the individual he fled on foot. During the foot pursuit the individual dropped a loaded Davis Industries .380 handgun. The individual was later taken into custody by officers after a struggle.
The involved individual is identified as Damion Anqwan Wilson, 41 years of age, of no fixed address. Wilson was charged as a convicted felon in possession of a firearm and other charges. He was on active parole for a murder committed in La Plata.
He is currently being held at the Charles County Detention Center without bond.
Active parole for murder (?). Sounds like demoncratic maneuver for the good of the community! Let’s all get behind this reform…
In September 2000, Damion Anqwan Wilson, who was 18 years old at the time pled guilty to the murder of Gayle A. Cooke. Wilson pled guilty to the reduced charge of second-degree murder in Cook’s death to avoid a life sentence or the death penalty for first degree murder. The “30-YEAR sentence was AGREED UPON” during the plea bargain.
Yet, he was running around La Plata in 2024?
One would guess that the judiciary system is not only twisted totally left but also has a fine grip on the ‘new’ math. 2001 + 30 = 2023!!!
“He was on active parole for a murder committed in La Plata.”
Put the judge and Maryland politicians in jail!!!
How can he get parole when he murdered someone? Insane!
On parole for murder. That about says it all.
Was this any surprise? Go after the parole board for not doing their job, or find out if there were any personal connections between the board and him.
Why is a murderer loose on our streets carrying a gun? Something is wrong with our justice system. Part of this is on us. We voted in the judges and politicians who did this.
On parole for a previous murder???Really? Who what and where and date would be helpful.
Why is everyone in the comments surprised? This is the norm, this is what you get for voting
I’m not shocked one bit
