Daniel Michael Harris, Armed Robbery, Maryland 2025

A Waldorf man has pleaded guilty to four armed commercial robberies in Prince George’s County, Charles County, and Montgomery County. Daniel Michael Harris, 43, admitted to using a pistol-grip shotgun during the robberies, which took place between March 23, 2023, and April 6, 2023.

According to his guilty plea, Harris and his co-conspirators planned and committed the robberies of two businesses in Prince George’s County, one business in Charles County, and one business in Montgomery County. On March 23 and March 28, 2023, Harris and his co-conspirators robbed two convenience stores in Prince George’s County and stole cash from the registers and several packs of cigarettes. Harris brandished a pistol-grip shotgun during both robberies.

Then on April 5, 2023, Harris and his co-conspirators robbed a convenience store in Charles County and stole cash from the registers and the wallet and phone of a store employee. Harris also brandished a pistol-grip shotgun and held the store employee at gunpoint while pinning a customer into a wall corner with his forearm.

On April 6, 2023, Harris and his co-conspirators robbed a convenience store in Montgomery County, stealing cash from the register and a store employee’s purse and phone. Harris also brandished the same pistol-grip shotgun used in the earlier robberies.

Harris and the government have agreed that, if the Court accepts the plea agreement, he faces 13 to 17 years in federal prison. U.S. District Judge Deborah K. Chasanow scheduled the sentencing for Friday, July 18, 2025, at 9:30 a.m.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
