The Prince George's County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help finding Ashley Rollins, who is wanted on a robbery charge. Deputies shared her case as part of a Wanted Wednesday post, urging anyone with information about her whereabouts to come forward.
According to the Prince George's County, Office Of The Sheriff, the public can share tips about Rollins anonymously and does not need to reveal their identity to help investigators. The office listed several ways to reach out: calling the Sheriff's Office directly at (301) 780-8500, emailing [email protected], or contacting Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477). The post was tagged with #Wanted, #WantedWednesday, #PrinceGeorgesCounty and #PGSO.
What Robbery Charges Carry Under Maryland Law
Robbery is a felony in Maryland, and under Criminal Law § 3-402, a conviction can bring up to 15 years in prison, according to the Maryland General Assembly. If a dangerous weapon is involved, or if a suspect displays a written instrument claiming to possess one, the charge escalates to armed robbery under § 3-403, which carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 years. It is unclear from the Sheriff's Office post whether weapon involvement is alleged in Rollins' case.
Robbery is also classified as a crime of violence in Maryland, meaning anyone convicted must serve at least half of their sentence before becoming eligible for parole, per the law firm Houlon Berman. That mandatory minimum applies regardless of the specific robbery statute involved, underscoring the legal stakes tied to the warrant against Rollins.
Robbery Numbers Are Falling Countywide
The search for Rollins comes as robbery cases across Prince George's County have dropped sharply this year. Countywide robberies fell 50 percent year-to-date, from 477 incidents recorded between January 1 and August 25, 2025, to 239 over the same stretch in 2026, per the Prince George's County Police Department.
Robberies targeting individual citizens dropped 38 percent in the same comparison, falling from 264 to 165 incidents, county police data shows. Commercial robberies saw an even steeper decline, down 66 percent, from 93 incidents in 2025 to 32 in 2026. Those numbers suggest that while cases like Rollins' remain active on the county's wanted list, the broader trend of robbery offenses in the county has moved in the opposite direction this year.
How the Warrant/Fugitive Division Works
Tracking down suspects like Rollins falls to the Sheriff's Office's Warrant/Fugitive Division, which is specifically tasked with investigating, locating and apprehending wanted individuals and executing criminal and civil arrest warrants, according to Prince George's County Government. The Sheriff's Office itself dates back to 1696, making it one of Maryland's oldest law enforcement bodies, per the Prince George's County Historical Society, and it continues to handle both court security and warrant enforcement alongside the county's police department.
Tipsters who want to be considered for a cash reward need to go through Crime Solvers rather than contacting police first. Prince George's County Crime Solvers, a non-profit founded in 1979, offers rewards of up to $2,500 for anonymous tips that directly lead to an arrest and felony indictment, according to PG Crime Solvers. Reward decisions are made monthly by a volunteer citizen board, and tipsters must submit information through the organization's secure channels before going to police directly in order to remain eligible.
This is not the first wanted-suspect appeal the Sheriff's Office has made through its social media channels in recent months. Hoodline previously reported on deputies seeking Joel Stib Morales on a second-degree rape warrant using a similar public tip appeal. No additional details about Rollins' alleged robbery, including the date, location or circumstances of the offense, were included in the Sheriff's Office's announcement.
