Charges and court status
Karen Yojana Ramos Agustin, 44, of Cambridge faces charges of first-degree assault, second-degree assault and reckless endangerment in connection with a reported assault at a residence on the 400 block of E. Appleby Road on Wednesday, Sept. 9. Eastern Shore Undercover reported that she was arrested at the scene, taken to the Cambridge Police Department for processing and later released by a court commissioner on her own recognizance. The charges are pending, and the available account does not indicate a finding of guilt.
Account of the reported incident
According to the account published by Eastern Shore Undercover, Cambridge police responded at about 6:45 p.m. after receiving an assault report. The victim told officers that Ramos Agustin poured water on him while he was in bed, struck his back with a belt and tightened the belt around his neck. He also reported that she approached him with a kitchen knife.
The outlet reported that responding officers saw visible injuries on the victim's back and neck. Those details, like the victim's account, are allegations reported to police; Ramos Agustin is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Legal context
A separate Prince George’s County case described in an opinion filed Aug. 28, 2026, by Maryland Courts resulted in jury convictions for first-degree assault, second-degree assault and reckless endangerment. That case involved convictions after a jury trial, unlike Ramos Agustin’s case, in which the same offenses remain pending charges. Maryland Courts says domestic violence for protective-order purposes involves one or more abusive acts between family or household members, or victims of sexual assault. The available allegations do not establish whether the people in this case meet those criteria.
