Tonnaysha Wilkins, 24, of Waldorf
On Sunday, May 7, 2023, at 1:50 a.m., officers responded to the 6200 block of Seal Place in Waldorf for the report of a domestic assault in progress.
When officers arrived, they observed an adult female who was in the yard and holding what appeared to be a rifle.
Officers de-escalated the situation and the woman put the rifle down, which was then determined to be a BB gun.
Further investigation showed the suspect assaulted a relative several times and then shot the relative with the BB gun, causing a minor injury.
The suspect also broke out a glass door inside the house. Tonnaysha Wilkins, 24, of Waldorf, was arrested and charged with first-degree assault, second-degree assault, and malicious destruction of property.
On May 8, a judge ordered Wilkins could be released on personal recognizance from the Charles County Detention Center.
