Domestic gun dispute leads to assault charges against Nanjemoy man – Southern Maryland News Net

Troy Landon Collins, 47, of Nanjemoy, faces multiple assault charges following a domestic incident on Oct. 5, 2024, at his home on Port Tobacco Road.

According to court documents, Collins was charged with first-degree assault, a felony, and two counts of second-degree assault, both misdemeanors.

The charges stem from an argument between Collins, his partner and their teenage son. Officers from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene following a report of a domestic disturbance.

According to the complaint filed by Sgt. Charles McCue, the argument started over a rifle that had been left outside and was corroded. During the argument, Collins allegedly threw water and water bottles at his girlfriend, identified in the documents as a 48-year-old woman. The situation escalated when her 14-year-old son intervened.

Court records show Collins allegedly punched the teen in the face and then grabbed him by the throat with a knife. The two eventually separated and no serious injuries were reported. The incident was witnessed by the couple’s five-year-old son, who was present but not involved in the altercation.

Collins was arrested on October 6, 2024 and has been held without bail since his initial hearing. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for November 1, 2024 in Charles County District Court.

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