Bond denied for suspended BPD Officer charged with on-duty rape

HARFORD COUNTY, Md. (WBFF) — Bond has been denied for the suspended Baltimore City Police Officer accused of raping a woman while on-duty.

Officer Daniel Oxendine is facing six criminal counts including two counts of first degree rape and two counts of second degree rape after a woman reported he had raped her while he was on duty back in June.

The Harford County Sheriff’s Office announced Oxendine’s arrest August 27.

Then, the Baltimore Police Department confirmed Oxendine was suspended without pay.

Oxendine made his first court appearance by video inside the Harford County District Courthouse Friday.

Harford County State’s Attorney Alison Healey appeared on behalf of the State and confirmed she will personally be prosecuting this case.

During the bond hearing Friday Healy outlined the allegations detailed in newly obtained charging documents.

According to the court documents, on June 3 detectives responded to GBMC to investigate a reported rape, and it was there a woman told them an unknown Baltimore City Police Officer had reaped her the day prior.

According to court documents, the woman told investigators the officer had responded to a domestic altercation involving her ex-boyfriend in Baltimore City, and he was later granted permission to drive her and her son to their home in Edgewood, Maryland.

Investigators wrote the woman said after the officer dropped them off, he soon after knocked on her door and told her he needed to enter the apartment and make sure it was safe and to have her son leave.

It was inside her apartment she said the alleged rape occurred.

Investigators said area surveillance cameras helped them identify Officer Oxendine as the unknown officer.

Within the court documents, investigators reiterated Oxendine was in uniform and on duty at the time of the incident.

Investigators wrote when questioned Officer Oxendine denied the rape allegation, or any physical contact with the woman aside from the original domestic call in which he claimed she grabbed his arm.

According to court documents, investigators detailed how DNA swabs taken from the victim and Oxendine proved otherwise.

Oxendine was arrested and charged the day after investigators received the results of the DNA testing.

“It is a mark on law enforcement for someone to behave like that. He’s innocent until proven guilty but if these facts are proven to be true it is absolutely egregious for law enforcement to act like that,” said Healey, following the bond hearing.

Also present in the courtroom was Oxendine’s wife, father and mother-in-law.

All declined to comment.

The defense attorney representing Oxendine for only the bond hearing also declined to comment.

In court Attorney Chaz Ball had requested Oxendine be placed on home detention, detailing he has no criminal history, and married with several children.

The Judge denied the request saying she believed Oxendine to be a danger to the community based on the allegations and arguments presented during the bond hearing.

When announcing his arrest, the Harford County Sheriff’s Office detailed detectives were looking into the possibility there may be other cases and the investigation was on-going.

Oxendine has a preliminary hearing scheduled for September 25, 2026.
