GERMANTOWN, MD — Rondell Henry, a Germantown man accused of stealing a U-Haul vehicle to run down pedestrians at Prince George’s County National Harbor, will remain in detention, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

Federal Magistrate Judge Thomas M. DiGirolamo ordered Henry, 28, to remain in jail as he awaits trial during his detention hearing at the U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, WJZ reported. Prosecutors filed a motion Monday, urging the judge to detain Henry as a flight risk and a danger to the community. At the time, Henry was charged with interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle.

In a six-page detention memo, prosecutors say Henry was inspired by ISIS when he stole a U-Haul van from an Alexandria, Virginia, parking garage on March 26. Henry was reported missing from work that same day. According to the memo, the Germantown resident walked off his job “determined to walk down the extremist path.”

Henry harbored hatred for people who did not practice the Muslim faith and wanted to conduct a vehicle attack, similar to one in 2016 that killed 86 people in Nice, France, prosecutors said. ISIS claimed responsibility for that attack.

Shortly leaving his job, Henry drove around the D.C. metro area looking for a vehicle that could do more damage than his car. He then spotted a U-Haul van on I-395.

“The driver who had rented the U-Haul vehicle had noticed a man driving a blue BMW follow the U-Haul off Interstate 395 and onto mall property, then follow the U-Haul into the parking garage and park a few spaces away,” prosecutors said. “When police responded to the garage, they found the BMW near where the U-Haul had been stolen. A check of the BMW’s registration records revealed that the BMW was registered to Rondell Henry.”

The following day, Henry drove the stolen U-Haul vehicle to Dulles International Airport in Virginia. According to prosecutors, Henry entered the terminal, trying to find a way through security. After an unsuccessful attempt to breach Dulles’ security perimeter, Henry returned to the U-Haul and drove to the National Harbor resort.

When he arrived, prosecutors allege Henry broke into a boat to hide in overnight. On March 28, police tracked down the stolen van and arrested Henry. Police were able to arrest him after reviewing video surveillance of the area that showed Henry exiting the van.

If convicted, the Germantown resident faces up to 10 years in prison.
