Former Maryland Police Chief Convicted in Federal Insurance Fraud Conspiracy

A federal jury in Greenbelt, Maryland convicted Davion Percy, 40, a former chief of the Marlow Heights Special Police Department, on one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud on June 16, 2026 [1][2]. Prosecutors alleged that Percy and two other law enforcement officers coordinated to stage the theft of a co-conspirator's 2007 Jaguar XKR, then submitted a fraudulent claim to Liberty Mutual that produced a $17,585 payout [1]. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Adeyemi Adenrele and Caroline Schechinger of the District of Maryland [1].

The government's evidence centered on the fabricated theft report and the coordinated conduct of multiple officers, establishing Percy's role in orchestrating the scheme [1][2]. The jury returned a guilty verdict on the single conspiracy count [1]. No acquittals or hung counts were reported [1].

Percy faces a statutory maximum of 20 years in federal prison [1]. No sentencing date has been publicly scheduled [1]. The two other officers involved in the scheme were not identified by name in the available public record, and their case posture was not disclosed in the source materials at the time of this report [1][2].

Post-trial filings, including any motion for acquittal or new trial, had not been reported as of the verdict date [1][2]. Percy's defense counsel was not identified in the public record.
