Glen Burnie man wanted for assault charge found fake sleeping in car

A 47-year-old Glen Burnie man wanted for failing to appear in an Anne Arundel County courtroom was found Tuesday by deputies pretending to be asleep in a car and arrested, authorities said.

Charles Wilkins of the 700 block of Griffith Road is being held without bail at the Anne Arundel County Detention Center, according to the county sheriff's department.

A spokesman for the department said Wilkins was ordered to be at a morning hearing for a second degree assault charge. Wilkins entered the courthouse but never went to the courtroom before leaving and going to a nearby parking garage, authorities said. Deputies found him hiding in a black and tan vehicle.

The suspect is awaiting a new court date.
