A man from Prince George’s County has been charged with assaulting federal law enforcement officers on the National Security Agency (NSA) campus in Fort Meade, Maryland. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland announced that Amir Phillip Wilson, 23, of Greenbelt, faces a criminal complaint following an incident that occurred on September 24, 2025.
According to authorities, an NSA police officer at a checkpoint observed Wilson driving toward the NSA campus without presenting the necessary credentials to enter the secured property. When law enforcement attempted to stop him, Wilson reportedly accelerated his vehicle to speeds between 40 and 50 miles per hour in an attempt to evade officers.
During the pursuit, Wilson’s vehicle collided with two marked NSA police vehicles responding to the scene. One officer was injured as a result. After striking the second police vehicle at high speed, Wilson’s car crashed into a concrete retaining wall and came to a stop. Law enforcement then took Wilson into custody.
Wilson is scheduled for a detention hearing on Wednesday, October 1, at 10 a.m.
U.S. Attorney Kelly O. Hayes stated: "U.S. Attorney Hayes commended the FBI and NSA Police for their work in this investigation. Ms. Hayes also thanked Assistant U.S. Attorneys G. A. Massucco-LaTaif and LaRai Everett who are prosecuting this case."
The U.S. Attorney’s Office emphasized that "a criminal complaint is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law."
