Wayne Anthony Parker, 66, of Prince Frederick, faces nine charges in two open criminal cases involving alleged incidents at the Calvert County Nursing Center, including second-degree assault, attempted third-degree sex offense involving a helpless or impaired person, attempted fourth-degree sex offense involving sexual contact, third-degree burglary, fourth-degree burglary of a dwelling, two counts of indecent exposure, trespassing at a public agency during business hours and disorderly conduct.
The accusations arise from two investigations involving the nursing facility on Hospital Road in Prince Frederick. Parker has been issued summonses in both cases. The allegations have not been proven in court.
A booking photo is unavailable because Parker was charged by criminal summons and was not arrested.
In the first case, a Maryland State Police trooper reported responding to the nursing center at about 7:52 a.m. on July 17, 2026, for an indecent-exposure and trespassing complaint. Staff members said Parker had left the facility against medical advice the previous day and had been told he would not be permitted to return.
A nursing center manager told the trooper that Parker was outside the entrance when the manager arrived for work. Because the entrance was secured by a keypad, Parker was unable to enter. The manager said he repeatedly told Parker that he was not allowed on the property and needed to leave, but Parker allegedly refused and began yelling.
The manager reported that Parker shouted obscenities and disrupted the facility’s normal operations as approximately six people gathered near the entrance. The trooper said statements from other witnesses were consistent with the manager’s account.
While the manager was inside calling 911, Parker allegedly sat on the curb, removed his pants and underwear, wiped himself with a cloth and changed clothes while visible through the building’s windows and from the parking lot. Patients, visitors and staff members were reportedly entering and leaving the property at the time.
When the trooper asked Parker what was happening, Parker reportedly said, “I wanted my stuff back and I’m not leaving until I get it.”
The manager told Parker that all of his belongings had been returned the night before. Parker then said he would not leave until he could place his belongings inside the nursing center, according to the trooper.
Asked whether he had undressed outside, Parker allegedly replied, “Yeah, they gave me these wipes, I used them and needed to change my clothes. How else am I going to change my clothes?”
After being told that he could not be naked in public, Parker responded, “Oh, my bad,” according to the filing.
Parker reportedly said he could not leave until 5 p.m., when his brother would be available to pick him up. Police located a ride-share service that took Parker and his belongings to Project Echo on Main Street in Prince Frederick.
The manager requested that Parker be barred indefinitely from the nursing center. A trespass notice was served, and Parker reportedly agreed not to return.
The trooper also viewed surveillance footage that allegedly showed Parker removing his pants and underwear, sitting with his buttocks exposed and his genital area facing the parking lot, wiping himself and putting on other clothes. The manager was unable to download the footage while the trooper was there.
That case charges Parker with indecent exposure, trespassing at a public agency during business hours and disorderly conduct. A preliminary inquiry is scheduled for Aug. 31, 2026, in Calvert District Court.
A second case was filed after the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office investigated allegations involving an adult female nursing center resident who was described as substantially cognitively impaired and largely unable to speak. The listed offense date is July 17, 2026, although portions of the investigating deputy’s narrative refer to June 17, 2026.
According to the deputy, an assistant nursing director reported a possible sexual assault after receiving information from two nurses who witnessed part of the incident. The assistant director did not personally see what happened but provided the nurses’ written statements and described the events to the deputy.
The filing alleges that Parker asked a male nurse for a bedpan, prompting the nurse to leave Parker’s room. For approximately 10 minutes, the two nurses had no contact with Parker.
As the male nurse returned, he and a female nurse reportedly heard a woman scream. They went to the adult female resident’s room, where the female nurse allegedly saw Parker in his wheelchair beside the woman’s bed.
The woman was reportedly positioned at the edge of the bed and attempting to push Parker away. Parker allegedly held her legs in the air and pulled her toward him. The female nurse pulled Parker away and asked what he was doing.
The nurse then noticed that Parker was not wearing underwear and was sexually aroused, according to the deputy. She took Parker back to his room, where he allegedly threatened her and said he would “beat her up.”
Parker gave investigators a different account. He said he was in his room when the adult female resident entered and asked him to massage her legs. Parker said he went to her room and massaged her left leg with both hands. He also claimed that the woman punched him in the chest nine times with a closed fist.
The deputy reported finding no visible marks on Parker’s chest. When asked whether there was anything else he wanted to share, Parker reportedly provided no additional information.
The assistant nursing director said none of the nurses saw the woman strike Parker. She also explained that the woman does not speak, although she may sometimes respond with “Yes” or “No” and occasionally speak nonsensically. Staff members said she is unable to form complete sentences like the request Parker claimed she made.
The deputy attempted to speak with the woman, but she kept her head down and did not respond. Nursing staff said that behavior was normal for her.
Other nurses described Parker as “very observant” and said he had taken photographs of female nurses on multiple occasions.
Staff members reported seeing no visible injuries on the woman and no marks they believed indicated a sexual assault. She was nevertheless transported to CalvertHealth Medical Center for an examination. Parker was moved to another unit to prevent further contact.
Security cameras were present in the unit, but investigators said they did not capture the entrances to the rooms involved. The woman’s family initially was unsure whether it wanted to pursue an assault charge, and detectives conducted additional follow-up concerning her condition at the hospital.
The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office alleged that Parker should have recognized that the woman was cognitively impaired. Investigators also treated her private nursing center room as her dwelling, alleging that Parker crossed from a shared hallway into the room intending to commit an assault or sexual offense.
That case charges Parker with second-degree assault, attempted third-degree sex offense involving a helpless or impaired person, attempted fourth-degree sex offense involving sexual contact, third-degree burglary, fourth-degree burglary of a dwelling and indecent exposure.
A preliminary inquiry in the second case is scheduled for Sept. 14, 2026, in Calvert District Court. Both cases remained open in the information provided.
