Former City of Bowie Police Officer Sentenced Following Attempted Murder Conviction
UPPER MARLBORO, MD – Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Tara Jackson has announced that 37-year-old Robert Warrington was sentenced to 30 years in prison, suspending all but 18 months, to be served on home detention, as well as 5 years of supervised probation, with additional home detention to be served during the first 18 months.
On May 21, 2026, following a two-day bench trial, a Prince George’s County Circuit Court judge found Warrington guilty of attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, reckless endangerment, and misconduct in office related to a shooting along Collington Road in Bowie in September 2024.
Today, after hearing arguments from the prosecutor and defense attorney, the same judge who convicted Warrington imposed the sentence. Prosecutors sought a sentence of 5 years in prison.
“We place a great deal of trust in those sworn to uphold the law, and that trust comes with a great responsibility,” says State’s Attorney Jackson. “The defendant’s actions placed innocent people in danger and violated the trust placed in him as a police officer. Our continued pursuit of justice in this case and in others reinforces our belief that no one is above the law. I am grateful to the prosecutors and law enforcement partners for their hard work and dedication throughout this case.”
