On May 20, 2026, detectives from the Criminal Investigations Division arrested Annaya Lisette Hines, age 26, shortly after she was released from the Charles County Detention Center on electronic monitoring. Hines had initially been arrested on May 14 on an active warrant. While she was in custody, detectives served her with a criminal summons connected to an investigation involving stolen banking information, theft, and fraud.  Hines was released from custody on electronic monitoring for these cases.

Earlier on May 20, the court approved Hines’ release conditions, and she listed an apartment in Waldorf as her residence. Shortly after her release, detectives determined Hines leased the apartment using the stolen identity of an elderly woman who did not know Hines. Investigators further learned the woman was the same person from whom Hines stole more than $10,000 in a fraud case in another jurisdiction two years earlier. Although Hines had been placed on probation in that case, detectives discovered she continued using the victim’s personal information. Detectives also learned that the rent on the apartment had not been paid in more than two months, resulting in a loss of approximately $7,000 to the apartment owner.

Detectives responded to the apartment listed on Hines’ release paperwork and arrested her at the scene. She was transported back to the Charles County Detention Center, where she was charged with additional counts of fraud, identity theft, and theft-related offenses. She is currently being held without bond. Detectives continue to investigate Hines’ possible connection to other fraud cases. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Gordon at 301-609-6546.
