Nancy Kay Newton, 61, of Baltimore
Nancy Kay Newton, 61, of Baltimore, is facing multiple criminal charges in Charles County, including drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, identity fraud, and making a false statement to a police officer, following an incident at a bank in Waldorf on April 22, 2026.
According to court documents, officers responded to a report of fraud at a Navy Federal Credit Union located on Waldorf Market Place. A bank employee told police that Newton entered the bank and presented a Florida driver’s license bearing another person’s name. She then allegedly attempted to withdraw $8,000 in cash and an additional $14,294 in cashier’s checks from the account, totaling $22,294.22.
The employee reported that Newton appeared nervous when asked for additional identifying information and was seen using her phone to verify details. Bank staff recognized her from prior alerts involving similar incidents in other jurisdictions and contacted law enforcement.
Charging documents state that Newton was detained at the scene and provided the identification card as her own. Officers later determined the license belonged to a different individual. During a search of her belongings, officers located a Maryland identification card confirming her identity, along with items described as drug paraphernalia, including cut straws, a glass pipe, and copper filters.
Police also reported finding a small container with a white powdery substance in Newton’s purse. The substance was tested using a field analyzer and returned a positive result for cocaine, a Schedule II controlled substance.
Newton was arrested and transported to the Charles County Detention Center. Authorities state she declined to answer questions after being advised of her rights.
She has been formally charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance not cannabis, possession of drug paraphernalia, two counts of identity fraud involving amounts between $1,500 and $25,000, and making a false statement to a police officer.
Court records show that Newton was later released on personal recognizance by District Court Commissioner Hailey Stack following an initial appearance. As part of her release, she was ordered not to engage in criminal activity and to appear in court as required.
