U.S. Marshals Track Down Fugitive From Woodbridge: Police

WOODBRIDGE, VA—A man wanted for assaulting a woman and then trying to disarm a security guard during an ensuing struggle last week in the Best Western hotel at 14619 Potomac Mills Road was arrested Thursday, April 25, in Winchester by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, according to Prince William County Police.

Umar Charm, 34, of the 15200 block of Barnabas Trail in Woodbridge, was charged with robbery, robbery of a firearm, domestic assault and battery, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and destruction of property.

Shortly before 1:30 a.m. on April 22, police responded to the hotel for a reported robbery. A 32-year-old woman said Charm—an acquaintance—struck her, threw her to the ground and then forcibly took her cell phone. When an armed security guard intervened, Charm punched him multiple times, eventually knocking him the ground. He continued to beat him and then tried to take the handgun from the security guard's holster.

That didn't work, so Charm left the building and again confronted the woman, who earlier had managed to retrieve the cell phone. This time he grabbed her cell phone and smashed it on the ground before fleeing on foot. Minor injuries were reported.
