On Monday, February 15, 2016, Charles County Sheriff’s Office Deputies responded to Prince Edward Drive in White Plains for the report of a domestic assault.

Upon arrival police made contact with the victim which stated her husband, Daniel Rodriguez Bahena, 52, of White Plains is a police officer with the Prince George’s County Sheriff’s Office.

According to court documents, the victim stated “she was talking on the phone with a friend, she believed that Daniel over heard her talking and took part of her conversation out of context”.

The victim went on to say “Daniel removed his agency issued handgun from its holster and began waving it around. Daniel stated to her “You know I can kill you”. She stated she was in fear for her safety at that time. She was seated on the bed in the master bedroom and turned away from Daniel. Daniel walked up behind her and struck her with the handgun in the left side of her back. Daniel then left the house”.

The victim complained of pain and discomfort due to being struck with the handgun, and an officer observed bruising and redness to the upper left side of her back.

Daniel Rodriguez Bahena was charged with First Degree Assault, Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony/Violent Crime, Reckless Endangerment, and Second Degree Assault.

On February 16, 2016, Bahena was taken to the Charles County Detention Center, where he went before a District Court Commissioner and bail was set at $5,000. Bahena was released on February 17, 2016, after posting the established bond pending further action by judicial authorities.
