The Prince George's County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help tracking down Jamel Evans, who is wanted on a first-degree assault charge. The office named Evans Wednesday as part of its recurring “Wanted Wednesday” feature, and investigators say anyone with information about his whereabouts can come forward anonymously.
The announcement came in a post from Prince George's County, Office Of The Sheriff published on Facebook. The post identifies Evans as wanted for first-degree assault and emphasizes that tipsters do not need to identify themselves when sharing information about his location.
How To Report Information
According to the same post, residents with tips can call the Sheriff's Office directly at 301-780-8500. The post also lists Crime Solvers as an anonymous reporting option, reachable at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477), along with an email contact at [email protected] for anyone who prefers to send information that way.
What First-Degree Assault Carries Under Maryland Law
First-degree assault is a felony offense in Maryland, and a conviction can carry a prison sentence of up to 25 years, under the state's criminal law statute as published by the Maryland General Assembly. That statutory maximum reflects the seriousness with which the charge is treated under state law, independent of the specifics of any individual case.
Beyond the charge itself and the request for anonymous tips, the Sheriff's Office post did not include additional details about the circumstances behind the wanted notice. The office's Wanted Wednesday effort is one of its recurring public appeals, and residents with questions about reporting tips more broadly can find contact information through the Sheriff's Office.
