Mere days after Ronald Ector was indicted for impersonating a deputy U.S. marshal, scary-looking felon Karl Glenn Salenieks of Crofton was arrested for impersonating an officer and illegally possessing handguns and a taser, among other things. Yipes.
Blotter: Man stabbed in the lower back in the Southeastern, a woman robbed of $40 after being struck on head with metal pipe, a robbed High's, a robbed McDonald's, a stolen Soviet rifle.
A 13-year-old boy robbed a man getting off of a bus in the Northeastern, using a semi-automatic weapon with a laser sight and a 33-round clip.
"Benjie" Evans, wanted for murder in Annapolis, was apprehended.
The Pumpkin and Honey Bunny of Dundalk, James and Carol Sparacco, were arrested and charged with eight counts of armed robbery.
A 26-year-old man, Ramon Pena, was pulled over on 95 for tailgating ... and was arrested when cops found 174 pounds of cocaine bricks (79 kilograms? Welcher Kontinent das WBAL an ist?) and $22,000 in cash in the car.
How cute: in Carroll County a boy faces suspension for bringing brass knuckles to school.
Where are all these pedophiles coming from? Brian Trimble pled guilty to attempting to buy child pornography from a postal inspector.
In Landover, the death of Calida Williams, a 28-year-old mother whose body was found in her burning apartment, was ruled a homicide.

Best line in the 13-year-old armed robbery story -- "we're checking to see if [the gun] was stolen."
Gee, a 13-year-old buys an $800 gun from some guy on the street for $80 -- you think maybe there's something funny about the title to the gun?
so do you think that Derrick Lamont Brown of Dogwood Road is related to Darnell Lovell Brown, also of Dogwood Road, who was found shot to death on the st. johns campus back in january?
Has anyone noticed the ridiculous "conversations" on the Rants & Raves section of Baltimore craigslist? Basically, it's a verbal race war.
I don't know who these racists are, but neither side is 1) very intelligent or 2) helping the crime situation in Baltimore.
These idiots probably aren't anything to be concerned about, but compared to the typical "sound offs" that you see in this section for other cities...it's just another embarassment for Baltimore.
Yeah, you'd think Don Dwyer would have better things to do than troll CL...
Has anyone here been to any of the Civilian Review Board meetings? Apparently they meet the third Thursday of each month, at 5:30 p.m. in Suite 915 of the Equitable Building (10 N. Calvert Street).
Is this group active / effective? I'd like to know, it sounds like an interesting concept. Police the police.
I just fear that too much would be "out of the board's jurisdiction" ...if you read the site carefully, they tell you how to file a complaint, but then say it could be determined to be "out of their jurisdiction" (?)
In case you have no idea what I am talking about: http://www.ci.baltimore.md.us/government/crb/
I know someone who was on the Civilian Review Board and she was of the opinion they were an effectively powerless public relations tool of the police department.
Looks like this site has been the inspiration for a new Baltimore Police monitoring blog entitled
"Watching The Detectives".

Enter your address and the web site will bring up a map of your neighborhood with small colored boxes on it. The small House icon represents your address; the colored boxes represent sex offenders in your area. Click the boxes to see who a photo of the offender. You won't feel the same after you follow this link.

One of the problems with CRB is that grievances suffer through a process of red tape designed to exhaust the complainant. Kind of like the way insurance companies keep injured plaintiffs in court 'til they die of their injuries.
Having seen the map of the watchdog site, I feel an urgent need to bathe.... my entire house.
It's a cool graphic -- but since it's based on the SOR I'd stick to that for the most current information. If you want to freak yourself out even more, think about how many perverts aren't caught and convicted. I can't imagine how hard that must be as a parent to know first of all that your kid's been molested, then make your child go through the court system, telling the story over and over to strangers, while knowing that the guy (or woman--there are a few on there), even if (s)he gets convicted, will probably just get probation. That would make me completely insane.

Hey, maybe we should all set up fake myspace profiles!
Guys, I just got back from a community meeting. My 70 year-old neighbor has decided that she needs a gun, on account of how little police coverage we get.
Get the woman some pepper spray before she shoots herself in her fool foot!
I've cautioned certain City people that forcing citizens to arm themselves generates perverse side-effects. That ball is in their court. You cannot just expect us to continue as sitting ducks.
Watch High Noon and postulate a handgun ban on Marshall Kane. People will only accept that crap if government steps up to the plate and makes us whole for the crime it enables.
