Riley, 21, who has been a fugitive from justice since he failed to show up for his armed robbery trial in June, is now a suspect in a robbery and assault over the Labor Day weekend.
Marshals are asking the public’s help to put him behind bars before he strikes again.
“Riley has a very short criminal history but is clearly well on his way to becoming a serious threat to the community,” said Matthew Burke, supervisory inspector with the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force. “He needs to be sent a message that terrorizing your community is not OK.”
Riley was arrested on suspicion of armed robbery and convicted of assault in Prince George’s County in 2008. He was sentenced to probation. Riley was arrested again on suspicion of armed robbery earlier this year and was released pending trial. But he didn’t show up at his trial June 24.
Police said he showed up on their radar again Sept. 3, when he allegedly beat and robbed a man in the victim’s home in Charles County.
Riley is listed as being 5 feet 6 inches tall and 170 pounds. Riley has lived on Westdale Court in Waldorf and also has contacts in Prince George’s County.
Anyone with information on Riley’s whereabouts can call the U.S. Marshals Service at 301-489-1717 or 800-336-0102. The Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, run by the U.S. Marshals Service, is composed of 28 federal, state and local agencies from Baltimore to Norfolk. The unit has captured more than 23,000 wanted fugitives since its creation in 2004.
