Preston Family Dispute Leads to Assault Charges

Caroline County, MD - A family dispute in Preston, Maryland led to assault charges after law enforcement responded to the same address on two separate days.

Caroline County Sheriff's deputies were called to the 22000 Dover Bridge Road in Preston, Maryland on May 14, 2026, after a verbal argument broke out between two family members.

The victim reported being assaulted, but responding deputies did not observe any visible injuries.

Because no injuries were found at the scene, deputies directed the victim to the Caroline County District Court Commissioner's office to pursue charges through the proper legal process.

The victim followed through. By the next day, two counts of second degree assault had been obtained against the suspect.

On May 15, 2026, Maryland State Police returned to the Dover Bridge Road address in connection with this follow up. Troopers located and served a criminal summons on the suspect, who was identified as Mya Cantler, 22, of Preston, MD.

Cantler was released on her own signature and is scheduled for a future court appearance in Caroline County.
