Gus Stone Got Stoned

Karl Berrain
Two brothers, Kurt Dewayne and Karl Berrain, un-named men shot in Upper Fell's Point*-- while shootings are rare in that area, robberies, assaults and property crimes are rampant.

Also one Kenneth Ray "Caveman" Stowers, 50, was killed in the 1200 block of Oliver Street. And look, there are victim photos -- and the photos are mugshots. Point taken, BPD communications. Indeed the Berrain brothers were not unknown to the civil or criminal justice system, with charges including armed robbery, assault, battery, drugs, domestic assault and failure to pay child support. For his part, at the time of his death Stowers was awaiting trial on drug charges, was found guilty of first-degree murder in 1993, was sentenced to 13 years, but was out by 2002 to face drug charges every few years since.

Officer Andrew Fitzgerald of Juvenile Booking was charged with assault and misconduct after allegedly punching a kid in the face.

Augustus Stone
The founder of Silk Road and local dealer Jacob T. George IV* may be in the hoosegow, but the site is back.

A robbery suspect crashed his car into a building on North Avenue* while fleeing police

Augustus Stone of the Deener had 158 pot plants in his house.

A third attack on a student in Towson, a Goucher student was robbed on Burke Avenue. Police think it's the same guys.

Are robberies, assaults and property crimes "rampant" in Upper Fells Point? Considering that we have data available to us let's review. Between Jan-July in 2013, Upper Fells Point has had 25 robberies. Compared to other city neighborhoods, and understanding each hood has different square footage, I would say that UFP has higher than average robbery rate but not nearly as high as Downtown, CHUM, Cherry Hill, Central Park Heights, Belair Edison and Baltimore Highlands.

True. But that's still pretty darn rampant, especially considering it's one of the smallest in the city, only about 5 X 10 blocks long.
