May 5

Baltimore police have been touting the new Web site, but all but the header/ticker is blank on my browser (Safari). Can anyone else see it?

PGC police closed four homicide cases this week.

WMAR's Keith Mills got nine months' house arrest for stealing prescription drugs from his neighbor who was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.

The Baltimore City Grand Jury indicted Officer Jemini Jones, 28, of the Southwestern District for second-degree rape, second-degree sex offense and misconduct in office. Court documents allege on October 24, 2005 Officer Jones executed a search and seizure warrant at the home of the alleged victim. Jones informed her that she would have to engage in various sexual activities in order to avoid arrest. An arraignment date has not been scheduled. This is a different incident than the one in December in which Jones is accused of raping a woman at the station house.

Kenneth Oakley, 41, was shot in his home in East Baltimore by a man who was chasing him.

Three non-fatal shootings in the blotter, and Shaheed Boyd was identified as the man fatally shot on Elderon Avenue last Saturday.

Alleged murderer/arsonist Daniel Murray's motive? He ws "teased." Murray was arrested after confessing to a co-worker.

Grody. Burnt human remains were found in Charles County.

Former Homeland-Security flak Brian Doyle of Silver Spring is out on bail after being accused of sending pornographic messages and films to (someone he thought was) a 14-year-old girl.

There's a hot new drug on the streets, says the DEA: a mixture of cold medicine and heroin that's being called "cheese."

James Wright, 32, got 20 years for selling crack.

oraclThe trial of Kenneth "O?r$a(i?)cl$" Ellis was postponed until May 23, 2006.

The FTC has sued five Internet companies, including Baltimore-based Information Search Inc., for selling consumers' cell-phone records.

Nine months house arrest for B&E? Geez, even no-talent Baltimoron broadcasters get special treatment by the judicial system!

since you started posting about that oricl dude i've started looking for his tags, and damn did he ever get up! i've seen his ugly-ass tag all the way down near the travel plaza!

Thanks, fixed it!

I know, house arrest is great for Keith Mills (can't you mail-order all those drugs through the Internet anyway?), but how about that poor cancer-stricken neighbor who gets to have him glowering at her 24/7?

Mr. Mephistopheles said...

Well, he did offer to move... how sweet of him.

I bet Marty Bass ("I said to the undercover cop that I want to get INSIDE her head") is celebrating over the fact that he's no longer the sleaziest Baltimore TV broadcaster.

I can see the website, but I had to refresh it a few times. Want a screen cap? (Not much of an improvement over the previous, IMHO).

You think 9 mos. house arrest is light for B&E?

Routinely, in my neighborhood when a hoodlum is tried for B&E, he gets 60-90 days less time served. Restitution is zero.

I had a local hood arrested a couple days ago for B&E and the officer, who had arrested him several days before for theft, indicated he guessed that the guy would get off, because although carrying break-in tools on his exit from the driveway, he wasn't actually seen within the house before his arrest.

The guy was out on bail (I assume) the next day and I followed him as he scoped-out and trespassed upon his next targets.

Let there be no question who's in control of this city. No, it ain't Marty O'.

The BPD web site would have been technologically stellar in 2000. (The design would have been impressive in January of 1995. But not February.) I could point out several dozen problems with the site, including those that prevent the Cybrarian from seeing it in Safari. But that would just be snarky, wouldn't it?

Maurice Bradbury said...

Snarky? Here? Not us!

And furthermore, SPORTS are NOT NEWS!!
We're at war and these tv stations and papers have all the space in the world for gd'd GAMES!
If Keith was my neighbor he'd be a jugheaded stain on the rug. Offered to move. You'd think a sense of shame would have driven him to move to Wisconsin by now. Stealing from a cancer patient! "But I'm a drug addict, it's a disease that I suffer from!" No, dude, cancer is a disease. You're just a criminal. Barf!

Anyhoo thanks for blogging, Chuck.
I actually wasn't trying to be snarky (for a change), not much stuff does work with Safari... but it's funny, Marcus Brown was on 13 the other night bragging about the Web site and how people are so down on the police and now here's a way for the public to see all the good things they're doing... whups!
