A man from Prince George’s County, Maryland, has been charged with assaulting federal law enforcement officers following an incident at the National Security Agency (NSA) campus in Fort Meade. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland announced that Amir Phillip Wilson, 23, of Greenbelt, faces charges after allegedly driving through a checkpoint without proper credentials on September 24, 2025.
According to authorities, an NSA police officer observed Wilson approaching the campus and failing to present the required identification. When law enforcement attempted to stop him, Wilson reportedly accelerated his vehicle to between 40 and 50 miles per hour in an attempt to evade officers.
During the ensuing pursuit, Wilson’s vehicle struck two marked NSA police vehicles. One officer was injured as a result. After colliding with the second police vehicle at high speed, Wilson’s car hit 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.”
Officials emphasized that “a criminal complaint is merely an allegation” and that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
