Maryland Parole Commission Issues Warrant for Rymek Milligan
Authorities are searching for a 38-year-old man who allegedly violated the terms of his supervised release.
Updated on Oct. 30, 2026 in Drug Crime
In August 2026, the Maryland Parole Commission issued an arrest warrant for 38-year-old Rymek Milligan following an alleged violation of his supervised release. Milligan, who has a 20-year history of drug and gun-related arrests, was previously released on parole in February 2026.
Why it matters
The warrant follows Milligan's previous conviction for his role in a drug enterprise, for which he was sentenced to 20 years in prison with most of that time suspended. His status as a parolee requires strict adherence to legal supervision terms, which authorities now claim were breached.
Milligan was originally sentenced to 20 years in prison in June 2023, though he only served five years before his February 2026 release. He remains subject to the conditions of his parole following his conviction for fentanyl possession and criminal organization participation.
