Upper Marlboro, MD…The Office of the Sheriff’s Warrant/Fugitive Division reported the arrest of Rhonda Mitchell, on February 3, 2023, on a warrant for First Degree Arson obtained by Bowie Police Department on January 23, 2022.
According to the warrant, on November 17, 2022, police responded to a
call for a fire started at a residence in the City of Bowie, MD. Upon arrival, police
observed large flames coming from the porch. Officers quickly grabbed a fire
extinguisher from their patrol vehicle to put the fire out. The victim ran out
from behind the residence and advised that Mitchell allegedly assaulted the
victim and started the fire. Police were able to make contact with Mitchell,
who was located inside the victim’s residence, attempting to start another

Mitchell was transported to a local hospital where she received medical
care. Through their investigation, detectives identified Mitchell as the
suspect.
On February 3, 2023, deputies determined that Mitchell could be located at an address in the City of Bowie, MD. When deputies knocked, a resident answered, allowing them to enter the home. Once inside, Mitchell was identified, served with the warrant, and safely transported to the Prince George’s County Department of Corrections without incident.

with 3 counts of Second-Degree Assault and Resist/Interfere with Arrest.
