Cambridge Man Charged in Ridgely Home Invasion

Caroline County, MD - On November 8, 2026, the Caroline County Sheriff's Office responded to the 11000 block of Holly Road in Ridgely, Maryland, for a reported burglary. A Cambridge man is now facing eight charges in the case, including Home Invasion.

While deputies were on their way, dispatchers with the Caroline County Communications Center stayed on the line with the woman who called 911. She told them a man she knew had broken a window and gotten into her home.

She wasn't home when it happened. But a family member was hiding inside the house, and the man was believed to still be in there.

When deputies got to the home, they searched and found the man lying on a bed in an upstairs bedroom.

Deputies say he didn't follow their commands. He fought back as they brought him out of the house and placed him under arrest.

As the investigation went on, deputies learned he was already wanted on two warrants. One was a bench warrant out of Caroline County, and the other was a bench warrant out of Talbot County.

He was taken into custody and brought in for processing. Deputies identified him as Donald Hill, 45, of Cambridge, Maryland.

Hill is charged with home invasion, third-degree burglary, malicious destruction of property, and reckless endangerment. He also faces charges of assault, resisting arrest, intoxicated endangerment, and failure to obey a lawful order.

Hill went before a District Court Commissioner, who ordered him held without bond. He'll stay in custody until a future court date.
