More on the case against and the arrest of alleged serial rapist Reginald Williams.
Who are the nine "gang members" arrested for "crimes"?
In Chase, Md. (wherever that is) a woman was shot in a home invasion.
Another "incident" at Towson Town Center! This time a man was robbed in the bathroom.
Michelle Dohm, a scary-looking Hagerstown middle school teacher, is accused of stalking and threatening students.
Yeech, a 44-year-old school administrator is charged with sending sexy text messages to a 17-year-old student.
A drug arrest, robbery etc from the blotter. From the CP archives: Blotteratio Dick Irwin enjoys mustard, puppets.

can we get someone to find out who the judge and parole board is that let Reginald Williams out? i think the 10 women should sue the sh.. out of the city. this city has gone to hell. baltimore is the second most pro-criminal city. i cant wait to get out of "the most horrible city outside of Jamaica"
Well, the judge would be the one who convicted him (presumably at the direction of a jury). He would not really be responsible for the parole board's decision, however. In Maryland, parole eligibility is not a priviledge, but rather a right.
Upon completing X years of a given sentence, parole eligibility is automatic. It may be further reduced by 'good behavior', which strikes me as an odd concept when under custody. It's basically an incentive used to give correctional officers a carrot when their stick is inadequate to the task. The judge does, however, have some discretion to deny eligibility for a minimum term at sentencing. Thereafter, he's out of it.
The parole board would be that under the State of Maryland, Dept. of Corrections, Div. of Parole & Probation. P&P's local office is the rather large complex at Calvert & 22nd in lower Charles Village.
As for Jamaica, I assume you don't mean Queens. That Jamaica is far, far better than in, say, the seventies. Among cities larger than 500M pop., we trail behind only Detroit in crime rate. Detroit is.. just a disaster.
If we withdraw troops from the war zone in Iraq, perhaps we can then deploy them in Detroit, which would just be carpet-bombed, and in Baltimore, which would be an exercise in urban ground warfare to clear the area of insurgents. Hmm,... I wonder if O'Malley can be prosecuted as a sympathizer? I know he wants lower crime, but his inept administration encourages it so.
