Eric William Broome

WALDORF, Md. – The Charles County Sheriff's Warrants and Fugitive Unit is actively seeking the public's help in locating Eric William Broome, 26, of Waldorf, who is wanted in connection with multiple charges, including failure to appear before the court for first degree assault, false imprisonment, and violation of probation.

Summary of the incident:

On August 1, 2023, Broome was arrested by Charles County Sheriff's officers following a domestic incident. He was facing charges of first degree assault, false imprisonment and other related offenses. On August 3, 2023, a judge released Broome from the Charles County Detention Center on electronic monitoring. The victim in this case was granted an order of protection. Broome violated the protection order in November 2023 in Garrett County, MD, and was arrested. He was released on personal recognizance by a Garrett County District Court commissioner.

During this investigation, investigators learned that Broome had been on parole since June 3, 2022, following a 2015 guilty plea to attempted second-degree murder in Charles County. Because he violated his parole conditions by being charged with the recent assault, the Charles County Circuit Court issued a warrant for Broome's arrest for violating his parole.

Efforts to locate:

In December 2023, collaboration between the CCSO Flight Warrant Unit and the US Marshals Service Capital Region Regional Task Force led to the discovery of Broome's presence in Las Vegas, Nevada.

On December 20, 2023, the US Marshals Service District of Nevada apprehended Broome after a brief foot pursuit and he was subsequently extradited to Charles County.

On January 10, 2024, Broome received a warrant for a parole violation. However, on January 12, 2024, a judge released him on electronic monitoring. As of this publication, Broome's whereabouts are unknown.

On May 2, Broome failed to appear in Circuit Court, resulting in another warrant being issued for his arrest.

The Charles County Sheriff's Office is urging anyone with information on the whereabouts of Eric William Broome to contact PFC Chandler or CPL Rickard Jr. at 301-752-9258. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through the Charles County Crime Solvers tip line at 1-866-411-TIPS.
