December 17

Two murders this weekend: Friday, Richard Lawson, 24, was found shot to death at his home in the 2900 block of Chelsea Terrace. On Saturday, Jamal Rowlett, 20, was shot after leaving Club Choices on Charles Street. In March 2006, pregnant Ashley Harris was shot to death outside of the same club.

Arrests in the death of 17-year-old Glen Michael Stewart, who was shot and his body burned in a county park. Police identified the men charged as Joseph William Payne, 24, arrested Friday; Jason Michael Bond, 23, arrested Saturday; and Desmond Hideji Willis Jones, 19, also arrested Saturday.

Five years for rim-thief shooter Charles Brockington.

An armed robbery this morning at the Stop Shop & Save in the 2700 block of W. Cold Spring Lane.

Messenger crime log: A home invasion in the 2700 block of Calvert street, a robber using a brick as a weapon, gifts stolen and a hamburgling in Park Heights.

Blotter: "A man, 55, was walking in the 700 block of Cumberland St. about 3 a.m. Thursday when a gunman forced him into an alley and robbed him of $100, a silver watch and a cell phone. Before the gunman escaped into a car driven by a second man, he ordered the victim to disrobe." ... and plenty more burglary and robbery. It's the most wonderful time of the year!
Bmore living handy tip: don't leave the house or answer the door until after Christmas.

Check out his Appelate decision in Georgia upholding, inter alia, the banishment of an offender from the county of jurisdiction as a term of probation.

10 yrs for Tire Theft?? How could that be? I thought everyone knew that tires are supposed to be dumped in alleys or in a woodsy area--plenty there free for the taking.
So no need to go around stealing them (and getting yourself killed), unless, perhaps you're after the $1,500 wheels that are attached to them. But since the Sun editors all take public transportation (SAFE, CLEAN, CRIME-FREE!), I wouldn't expect them to know the difference between a tire and a wheel...

There is an update from Anna on her reaction and other thoughts on last week's plea deal on the Zach Sowers site.

Now see, that wasn't so hard, was it ?

The hoodlums are right out there waiting to ne incapacitated. It's just a matter of supplying the manpower, which for BCPD is now still short of budget authorization by about 150.

Pssst....Commissioner,.....

He's trying!
At a meeting last Wednesday Bealefeld said they were short by 127 officers, and that he felt retention was a bigger issue than recruitment, and they're trying to recruit guys coming back from Iraq.
