Kaimrhon Emmanuel Bonaventure, age 25 of Douglas, Georgia
Kaimrhon Emmanuel Bonaventure, 25, of Douglas Georgia, was arrested in St. Mary’s County, Maryland, on November 27, 2024, for violating a protective order and attempting to break into a residence in Hollywood, Maryland.
He faces charges including violating a protective order, third-degree burglary, and fourth-degree burglary.
According to court records, officers from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call reporting that Bonaventure was attempting to gain entry to a residence on Meadow Road. The caller, an adult female protected by a final protective order against Bonaventure, informed dispatch that he was trying to force entry into her home. The protective order, issued on September 25, 2024, prohibited Bonaventure from contacting her or entering her property.
When police arrived, Bonaventure fled into nearby woods. A search involving K-9 units, drones, and officers from multiple agencies lasted several hours. Bonaventure was eventually located hiding under thick vegetation at a nearby property. He was arrested without further incident.
The victim recounted years of abuse at Bonaventure’s hands, including physical violence and threats to her life. She described incidents of being strangled, beaten, and suffering a broken ankle shortly after the birth of her child in 2021. Seeking safety, she moved to Maryland in 2022. The protective order also barred Bonaventure from contacting or approaching the victim’s young child, who was listed as an additional protected individual.
According to statements given to law enforcement, Bonaventure admitted knowing about the protective order but claimed he traveled from Georgia to Maryland to “make things work.” He acknowledged ownership of firearms, including an AR-style rifle and a Glock handgun, but stated that he had sold them. When asked about previous threats, Bonaventure reportedly confirmed making them, saying, “Because I told her that.”
Bonaventure faces multiple charges, including:
Violation of a Protective Order
Third-Degree Burglary
Fourth-Degree Burglary
Bonaventure is being held without bond and is scheduled for a bail review hearing on December 2, 2024, in St. Mary’s County District Court. This marks the defendant’s fifth violation of a protective order within the past year, and he has a recent history of criminal activity, including a burglary charge earlier in November 2024.
