At Wabash District Court this morning, Judge Hargrove sentenced Rodney Bethea in the April 13 incident which occurred at the Northeast District Baltimore Police Department as follows: four years on the false imprisonment charge; two years on the assault on law enforcement charge and two years on the escape charges ... but the sentences to be served concurrently, which means this lunatic will be out in four years .. or less than two with parole! Wow, if I was the cop beaten by a lightbulb or the employee held hostage with the scissors for three hours I'd be really pissed!

And of course, the Times-News spells "drug" wrong. Brilliant.
Slashing of some sort upon a teen reported at the 600 block, Beaumont in Govans off of York Road in Northern.
As for the four year concurrent with four for taking police civilians hostage inside a police station, yeah, and you wonder why cops don't want to join your police force ??? I wonder ??
The dude's apparently had 21 criminal cases in multiple jurisdictions. He's been a bad boy, mostly burglary.
I'd bet in Texas that'd be a ten year minimum easy.
The Baltimore-Metro population faces some of the longest commutes in the country. Why? To avoid Baltimore City crime, and lousy schools.
Ergo, Baltimore's high crime rate is anti-environmental. So much for claiming to be green, Marty.
Oh, by the way, the Mo'M ads which claim there's no basis for challehging his crime reduction stats? Howzabout this: the FBI do not confirm Mr.O'Malley's figures. His crime reduction resilts are largely based upon his upward restatement of 1999 crime.
Because he has played with those numbers, the FBI does NOT publish 1999 results for Baltimore City. Because they're questionable.
Now, how much of the claimed reduction took place between 1998 and 2000? Well, the crime index decreased during that two year period by over 9%, which is a big chunk of his claimed reduction.
Conclusion: crime dropped, but not by what he claims. Was the drop attributable primarily to O'Management ?? Almost certainly not, given the national trend.
My understanding is that a YAAM by the name of Demetrius Sturgis [sp.] is wanted in connection with the stabbing murder of another YAAM. Sturgis is understood to be a Blood.
Sturgis killed another fellow in Charles Village and is wanted by police. Charles Village has gradually been turning into a Bloods territory.
