Tis the Season to be Robby



I missed you, blog! Damn you actual work for coming in the way of my lurid rubbernecking!

Last Saturday morning a man with no ID was found dead near Brooklyn, shot in the back.* He's since been identified as Thomas E. Burrell, 36.

So after 137 days Tyrone West's autopsy is complete,* but the results are secret, which is apparently not that rare of a thing when an investigation is ongoing. Still, West's family is megapissed and a City Council hearing is scheduled next Wednesday.

You'd think a dance club by the bus station with a free open bar for the ladies would be replete with ladies and gentlemen of refined social graces, but no, at Voltage NightClub Sunday night/Monday morning during a party hosted by Young Gunner, Dimp and Mo Stacks, an unID'd guy was shot in the back.*

You may recall one of the suspects in the latest round of arrested jail BGFs was a member of the National Guard, recently shipped of to Afghanistan. Now the feds are working on bringing Derrick "homeboy" Jones' azz back.* He's accused of helping to smuggle in cell phones.

"98 Rock, Stash Sued By Couple Injured in Crash." Stash, sure, but the station? Damn you Daily Record paywall!

Batts was on 92Q this morning.

Police are ISO this Cherry Hill robbery suspect. Also, that's a really nice drawing.

A 3rd defendant, Laura Karr, has pleaded guilty to her role in the kidnapping and shooting of a 15-year-old in HoCo. Karr and her boyfriend Donald Peoples Jr. mistook the kid for someone who ripped them off on the purchase of a $200 bag of weed. Another defendant, Chiquita Sketers, pleaded guilty and got 25 years.

... Wrote this post last week but never posted it. Der!

November 14 murder victim Eddie Blick Jr. was featured in the Al Jazeera's "Educating Black Boys" documentary.

Nathan Barksdale
Nathan Barksdale has been arrested on various heroin-dealing and gun-related charges*. Barksdale has claimed to be the inspiration for David Simon's character Avon Barksdale on "The Wire" (though Simon denies it, and Van Smith proves that the nickname "Bodie" was a latter-day addition to his moniker). Barksdale also claimed to be out of "the game" (of course) and is reportedly now in a wheelchair after having his leg amputated below the knee.* And in typical Baltimore fashion he's  related to Dante Barksdale, coordinator of Operation Safe Streets.


Too-cool-for-you Remington bar W.C. Harlan was robbed at gunpoint by a guy in a wig.

Evan Curbeam's family say that his death was accidental.

15 years for Darryl Robinson, 49, who allegedly managed an open-air drug market in Poplar Grove.

185 months for Rico Bias, alleged getaway driver for commercial robbers.

Missing men

Jack Young got his damn underwear* in a twist, and it was awesome. He took Batts to task* for the $285k consultant report, which he called "fluff" and "fast-talking," wondered aloud why it couldn't have been done in-house, and why the police department (with the third-highest per capita police/citizen rate in the country) can't cover shifts without overtime. Fenton says that the report (which is redacted, what?) shows that out of 3,000 officers only 950 are assigned patrol. So what do the rest do? And Batt's response to the tongue-lashing? WYPR reports that he left the hearing without comment.

The Deuce's Christian Shaffer reports that the homicide clearance rate is now 54 percent and non-fatal shooting clearance rate is 52 percent, which is allegedly an improvement over last year.

Evan Curbeam, 29, right, has been missing since he left the Bond Street Social bar last Friday night, call the county police if you see him or have information.

Homicide #213 was Demetrius Beatty, shot in the head in West Baltimore, 214 was Earl Moulden, assaulted in August.

Kyle "Cappo" Stevens, 23, got 32 years in prison for the murder of Keith "Keithy" Ray in September of 2007. Ray was found under some logs in Wyman Park in January 2006. Stevens also admitted to killing James "Ronnie Mo" Wright in 2006, when he was 16.

Thirty years for Dameon Shaw, grocery/convenience store robber.

A federal jury found in favor of a county officer who killed a Middle River man by Tasering him 10 times.

A drug bust netted three alligators.* Where are these drug dealers even getting all these alligators? What does animal control do with them?

In Anne Arundel County James Koltko was arrested for using a sledgehammer to break into cars.

Not Maryland, but totally baffled by this story about Bode Miller's (formerly) pregnant girlfriend, who lost custody of her baby because she "appropriated the child while in utero" while pregnant. What?
