Eric William Broome, 26, who has a lengthy criminal history, is back in custody in Nevada after being tracked down by US Marshals Service members, according to officials, and now is waiting to be extradited back to the East Coast to face charges. 

The Waldorf resident was arrested in August for a domestic dispute and was released days later by a judge, who ordered him to wear an ankle bracelet. 

A protective order was also obtained for the woman he allegedly assaulted.

According to the sheriff's office, it was later determined that Broome was on parole as of June 6, 2022, after he pleaded guilty in 2015 for attempted second-degree murder from a case that was tried in Charles County. 

Upon his release from jail, and after learning Broome violated the conditions of his parole, the Charles County Circuit Court issued a new bench warrant for Broome, which was cashed in in Vegas.

Investigators later determined that Broome was in Las Vegas, and he was arrested after attempting to flee on foot.

No information about his next court appearance has been released by the sheriff's office.
