Troy Landon Collins, 47, of Nanjemoy, is facing multiple charges following a domestic incident at a residence on Port Tobacco Road on October 5, 2024.

According to court records, Collins has been charged with first-degree assault, a felony, as well as two counts of second-degree assault, both misdemeanors.

The charges stem from an altercation involving Collins, a female victim and a teenage male victim. Officers from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene after receiving a report of a domestic disturbance.

According to a complaint filed by Sgt. Charles McCue, the argument began over a rifle that had been left outside and became corroded. During the dispute, Collins allegedly threw water and water bottles at the woman. The situation escalated when the teenager intervened.

Court records indicate that Collins allegedly struck the teenager in the face and later grabbed him by the throat while holding a knife. The two eventually separated, and no serious injuries were reported. The incident was witnessed by a young child, also present in the home, but they were not involved.

Collins was arrested on October 6, 2024, and remains held without bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for November 1, 2024, at the Charles County District Court.

He is charged with first-degree assault (felony) and two counts of second-degree assault (misdemeanor).
