Prince George’s County police officer arrested at Reagan Airport after driving stolen vehicles
PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. - A Prince George’s County Police officer has been suspended without pay following her arrest on Oct. 3 at Reagan National Airport. She's been charged with illegally using three stolen vehicles.
Officer Sierra Alston was taken into custody by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department. She faces three counts of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and related offenses. She was due for a hearing in court Wednesday. No attorney has been listed for Alston at this time.
Alston, who joined the Prince George’s County Police Department in 2023, is currently assigned to the Bureau of Patrol.
Right now, Alston is not charged with stealing the cars but police have charged her with improperly using the three BMWs that were stolen from a rental car company that operates out of Reagan National.
That company is called SIXT. Earlier this year, they discovered around 30 cars were stolen from their Reagan location. Corporate sent a team to track them down and almost immediately found a stolen BMW outside an address connected with Alston.

A Prince George’s County Police jacket was inside that car. After further investigation, two other BMWs stolen from the lot were quickly located.
In all, two of the BMWs also had evidence the radio had been connected to Alston’s phone. The third BMW is the same car driven by Alston to take her boyfriend to the hospital after he was stabbed in March, according to the affidavit.
As for that car, authorities say "further investigation into this vehicle revealed that it was abandoned on April 9, 2024, in the area of Milligan Lane and Spring Acrew Road, Clinton, Prince George’s County Maryland after the victim spoke with Officer Alston on her…[Cell Phone]."
FOX 5 made multiple attempts to reach Alston today, but haven’t heard back.
