Detectives charged a Suitland man for sexually assaulting a woman in Suitland on Tuesday. The suspect is 39-year-old Michael Haskins of the 4000 block of Skyline Drive.
On June 11th, at approximately 7:30 pm, patrol officers were called to the 4000 block of Silver Hill Road for the report of a sexual assault.
