The CP's Van Smith interviews the new white guy, details his fondness for Elvis Costello & 'Mad Men' & asks, "What kind of challenges does you being a white guy present?"
A dispute between tenants led to a barricade situation in West Baltimore, which ended peacefully with the arrest of a suspect.
Source tells WBAL that fire on The Block was arson
"A tearful Benjamin L. “Bennie” King Jr. apologized to his family and former employer Legal Aid before being sentenced to 30 months in prison Tuesday for embezzling more than $1 million from the organization over a decade."
Last week's four murders in the Ink: Dante Sweeney, David Carter, Travis Baltimore (reported as Travis Alexander by WBAL) and "an unidentified Caucasian woman." ... (srsly, the CP just way too obsessed with race ... ok, it's an important detail, but is it so important that must be reported in the first sentence in every single case?)

enjoy your crime news, hon!
A woman was shot to death in the 1400 block of Franklintown Road at about 5 a.m. yesterday morning
The city jail is on lockdown after "a series of violent incidents," but nevertheless, a guy somehow escaped from the Pre-Release Unit on Saturday night (and was found loving that chicken at a Popeye's in PA.)
"there is a growing consensus" that the case of George Huguely V, accused of killing former NDP student Yeardley Love, will be settled in a plea deal before trial
Ye olde loophole: Convicted felon Thomas Royal got 188 months for possessing ammo, but no time for the gun he was carrying as it was manufactured before 1899.
Gee, rilly? After the second escape in a year from the Hickey school, a report issued by the Juvenile Justice Monitoring Unit floats the notions of equipping juvenile facilities staff with radios and transporting the l'il hoodlums in secure vehicles.
In Annapolis, a 60-year-old genius was arrested after running over a guy he'd just had a fistfight with.
Interesting read from the Post: "What the Assange case reveals about rape in America"
ps. ... what kind of rich freaknut would pay $700,000 for a Nazi baton?

Gory stories
So much for pot being the drug of peace and groovy love.... investigators believe that missing Michael Paul Knight, 50, was "beaten, tied up, and murdered, and his body was then dismembered 'with a power-type saw'" in Rosedale after he ran afoul of a national weed-smuggling operation.

Likely stories
A "flurry of shootings" near Leakin Park
Crack reporter Melody Simmons lands an interview with the ousted mayor, who says "hopefully people realize that I am sorry for some of my decisions,” and that she might possibly write a book.
... but according to WBAL, there wont be much of a market for it, as "in Baltimore ... only one in 300 kids [as in, .003%, or about 2,100] has even a single book in their home." sounds rather implausible.. but I'm sure they wouldn't report it if it wasn't scrupulously fact-checked, right?

Horribly depressing stories you should not read
Andre Clay Russell Jr. got 55 years for beating his girlfriend's three-year-old son to death. Says the mom who left her son with the convicted sex offender, "there is not a day that I don't second-guess myself."
and "calm, peaceful, respectful" Brian Maurice Savage, 22, is on trial starting today for allegedly beating his girlfriend's 15-month-old toddler to death.
and in Hagerstown, a 23-year-old man got 35 years for "fatally abusing" his girlfriend's five-month-old daughter.
A 65-year-old man pled guilty for the robbery that led to the death of Constantine Frank last year. Frank died of a brain hemmorhage after being restrained.
The 4th circuit has ruled that "allowing the indefinite confinement of 'sexually dangerous' federal inmates after their prison terms end does not violate their due process rights"
"Fatal shooting [of Dante Sweeny, 22] in Northeast Baltimore could be drug-related robbery"
"Baltimore police say the death of [Tammy Madison, 45] who was pushed in front of a truck in February is being classified as a homicide, but the man who shoved her will not face criminal charges."
a Baltimore man has been arrested for attempting to blow up a military recruitment center in Catonsville with a fake bomb
City paper's top 10 news stories include the Dixon sentencing, the Sun's story on rape reports being marked unfounded, and "Pat Jessamy loses, some guy wins." Also last week's three murders in the Ink.

ATF to investigate fires
reports the Deuce
..and anti-abortion protestors have descended on Germantown. QTD from activist Patrick Mahoney: "I'm thrilled with all this police tape. Let's say you're an orthodontist and your little sixth-grader comes with her mom and sees all this. That's exactly what we want."

Burning house of love
New hires at chez Bernstein. Wonder who wrote the press releases?
Two five-alarm fires downtown = mighty suspicious.
QTD: "Girls tryin ta get dressed in the street, I mean, runnin across the street butt naked just tryin to get their clothes on..."
Update on missing senior Lola Louise Brant: she was found in a clearing in the PA woods by a hunter, alive and confused.

"Maryland to become the late-term abortion capital of America"
says the Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition. Dr. LeRoy Carhart, former co-worker of murdered Dr. George Tiller, has moved his practice to Germantown
Are all murderers mentally ill?
... and if so, does that make the death penalty unconstitutional?
An arrest in Anne Arundel's 11th homicide: Clayton Avila Battle allegedly shot and killed Kelly Fisher at Dietrich's Tavern.

Best sighting ever
Rod J. Rosenstein in the front row of "Annie" at the Olney Theater (with his children, TG.)
.. if anyone deserves a chorus of singing orphans it's RJR, whose past week at the office included indicting Antonio “Mack” Hall for the murder of federal witness Kareem Kelly Guest, convicting "L'il Mama" of racketeering, and a guilty plea from "Mrs. T" of 420 Income Tax Services, who stole children's identities and their parents' refunds, and a whole bunch of other assorted Roosters and Lily St. Regises.
anyway,
... keep an eye out for Lola Brant, who left Bel Air in her tan Mercedes yesterday and never came back.
UPDATE: she was found in PA

Social studies
More on the Snowden drunk-driving case. Was his PBJ a simple mistake.. or something back-scratchier?
A 14-year-old student at Baltimore Community High School beat the dickens out of a social studies teacher
LOLZ, check out these winners arrested on drug charges in the Deener
Crown Heights it's not (sorry, NAACP), but tensions are up in the NW after the beating & wrist breakage of a teen by 23-year-old neighborhood watcher Eliyahu Werdesheim. Indeed Wedesheim's story sounds none too Kosher: if the kid was trespassing, why not call actual police? If his stick/plank was so threatening, why not just get back in the car? In better news, apparently another Shomrim member helped the beaten boy while Werdesheim fled.
Three people pled guilty to smuggling knockoff Coach handbags through the Port of Baltimore. Remember when Coach bags used to be un-tawdy and non-shiteous, and made in America out of nice, thick leather?
Alleged crack dealer Terrell Rogers got 292 months in prison for a rolling gun battle near the Bloody Bucket and attempting to trade crack for evidence-tampering services.
Former Republican committee treasurer gets three years for embezzlement
Other Baltimoreiana: The NYT has a glowing profile of Andres Alonso
