Police officer indicted in Mt. Vernon shooting

Officer Tshamba was indicted on murder and gun charges and could face life in prison.

Are you really good at digging deep, dark holes?

Can you dig one deep and dark enough for a man who rapes a 5-year-old girl? Probably not.

Need some copper tubing? So does this construction site.

Possibly armed man vanishes.

"This is, I think, fire No. 7 in 13 years … They've all been arson."

Battle of Baltimore Crime's Favorite Two People: Warren Brown vs. Pat Jessamy

18-year-old arrested for shooting two other 18-year-olds in Edgewood. Of course, the alleged perp appears to be currently awaiting trial for armed robbery, assault, weapons charges, etc.

"Why is this even news anymore?" Three men shot in two hours (actually more like 1 hour, 13 minutes).

Court time, expense this

The man who wants Pat Jessamy's job would eliminate the do not call list, send prosecutors out of the murder scenes with homicide detectives, and says he would spend more time in court.

Meanwhile councilman Bill Henry said $6000 worth of bar tabs and meals charged to the city was payback for volunteers.

A Man is Only as Good as His Nickname...

Life in prison for TTP member Anthony "Mo Easy" Fleming, as well as another 20 years concurrent to his state sentence of life, for Tavon "Bloody Batman" Mouzone.


A raid of recently indicted BGF conspirator Alicia Simmons reveals a connection to "a who's who of Baltimore criminals," including Ronnie "Skinny Suge" Thomas, Johnny "J.R." Butler, and Calvin "Turkey" Wright.


Finally, convicted sex offender James "No Known Nickname" Mason III was recently arrested with four teenage girls.

Ripping of widows

He once was a big time Baltimore accountant, but he just got a five year sentence for mortgage fraud for taking $900K from a widow.

Miss, don't miss

Page Croyder: "Unfounded Rape Reports and Unfounded Excuses"

This just in...

Gregg Bernstein is Jewish.

...

A Baltimore police officer shot at a vehicle trying to get through a blocked area of a JFX on-ramp, causing the vehicle to crash.

Police are looking for a female bank robber.

What a shocker...

Registered sex offender arrested for sex offense, according to this poorly written, apparently unedited article. (Look, ma, no hyphen!)

Highlights: "Then Mason drove to a business in the Annapolis area to purchase food and was accompanied by the 13-year-old female." Nice way to start a sentence...

"One of the females text a family member stating that the juveniles were scared and needed assistance."

"Mason was arrested and charged with Second Degree Rape, Perverted Practice and Contributing to a Mino." He contributed to a mino? Helping out needy birds is a crime now?

Your tax dollars at play

Councilman Bill Henry pays the city back $6K for bar tab, other expenses.

Roundup

Jury doesn't buy insanity defense - Mary Koontz found guilty of murdering her husband. According to her daughter (and would-be victim), "it was like a weight lifted off all of our shoulders."

No charges will be filed in the shooting death of a home invader back in March.

Take note: If you're wrongfully arrested (due to a court's clerical error), shackled by wrists and ankles to a pole for 12 hours, while your children are left alone in a highway parking lot, and are declared "truly innocent and injured" by the Court of Special Appeals... you can't sue anyone. Sorry! So, you know, make sure that doesn't happen, okay?

Documents in the murder of UVA student Yeardly Love are unsealed. Ex-boyfriend George Huguely V admits kicking in her door and getting in an "altercation" with her. Was the murder planned?

Detectives are reviewing 18 months of data on City rape reports.

It's hot out, people. Don't leave your dogs in the car.

Missing a credit card? Terrell Reid might have it.

City Councilman reimburses taxpayers for that food we bought him. At least he wasn't using gift cards...

Omar Comin!

A real-life Omar wannabe is in deep trouble with the Federales.

Court of Special Appeals: Don't yell loudly while getting arrested.

Another candidate has filed to run for State's Attorney in the City but her candidacy doesn't look serious.

More gun seizures.

The Westboro Baptist Church case is headed for the Supreme Court.

Tighter contraband screenings in Maryland's prisons.

A snowball's chance?

Could someone possibly unseat Patricia Coates Jessamy after 15 years and three re-elections as State's Attorney?
Could that someone be one Gregg Bernstein?
Do enough people even know what a State's Attorney is and what they do all day to be convinced to care?
... hope these two have a debate, at least.

Bloodsworth retiring

Maybe the Southern District Commander not so thrilled with his "promotion"
