In 2020, Long was charged with
driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license, along with several related offenses. He received
probation before judgment on the impaired driving charge, while other charges were dropped. In May 2023, both charges were downgraded before trial to misdemeanors, second-degree assault and fourth-degree burglary. In August 2023, the St. Mary's County State's Attorney's Office dropped all charges against Long. In January 2025, Primis Bank filed a lawsuit against the Communion Way of the Cross church and its leaders, including Long, alleging that its leaders had failed to make rent payments over a 26-month period. The parties reached a $50,000 settlement agreement intended to resolve the dispute, but after the first $10,000 payment was returned for insufficient funds, a higher judgment of $81,500 was finalized by a Charles County Circuit Court judge in January 2026. Long did not include the judgment on his state financial disclosure filing, though it is unclear whether a court judgment of this type must be reported alongside any financial obligations owed by elected officials. In an interview with
The Baltimore Sun, Long said that his name appeared on the paperwork related to the rent payments because of "the old structure of the church" and disputed that the church had gone two years without paying rent. He also claimed, but later recanted, that the church owned the building. ==Electoral history==
